  1. Windows 11, forgot pin and can't use other sign in options


    I tried logging in with my fingerprint but some reason it didn't work and then said needs pin to sign in, I can't log in to my laptop at all, I forgot my pin and I unfortunately don't have my pin with me to type it out I usually have my passwords and pins written down somewhere incase I forget. It doesn't have the "I forgot my pin" option at all and tried disabling the secure boot option in BIOS, didn't do anything. I tried holding down shift+ restart to try entering to safe mode, did not work. I do not want to reset my laptop to lose all of my stuff and I'm at my wits end with this, how do

    :)

  2. Forgot PIN, No other options for signing in on windows 11, just PIN.

    Hello. I’m having some issues signing into my Windows 11 laptop.

    When I enter the sign-in screen, it only gives me an option to sign in with my PIN, which I have forgotten. There is no option to sign in with a password, nor does it let me say that I forgot my PIN.

    How do I enter my laptop when I don’t know my PIN and there are no other ways to sign in on Windows 11?

  3. Forgot pin on windows 11

    Hi,

    I have forgotten my pin on my Windows 11 laptop. I am not signed in. The instructions on windows support are the following:

    • If you don't see I forgot my PIN, select Sign-in options and then select Enter your password.
    But I don't have the Sign-in options link. I think I have tried to enter my pin too many times and now I need to enter a security question, (A1B2C3). I enter the security question but can't get past this point. Is there anyway around this?

    Thanks

    Dan.

    Windows 11 forgot PIN

    I forgot my pin-Accounts-PIN-I forgot my PIN-I click it, enter my password, I get a code sent to my phone but I'm not given enough time to get the code and then enter it. I get kicked back to Accounts-Sign-in options screen. Any suggestions?
