Windows 10: Windows 11 pin request

I'm having issues signing on to my laptop due to a pin request. I have only used passwords. I'm not even given an option to change sign-on

Windows 11 - Windows hello PIN and Camera face recognition do not work

Hi,

Windows 11 - Windows hello PIN and Camera face recognition do not work, for both of them, when reaching the final step, the window closes before saying completed, and nothing happens

Steps to replicate on my PC - WIN 11:

1. Situation 1 - Trying to change PIN:
   
   1. Settings - Accounts - Pin(Windows Hello)
      
   2. Although i'm currently using a PIN to log into my user, I only get 1 button: Setup
      
   3. Press Setup - Create a PIN - Next
      
   4. Making sure it's you - I add my PIN - Just a moment - the window closes, nothign happens
      
2. Situation 2 - Trying to add Face recognition:
   
   1. Settings - Accounts - Facial recognition (Windows Hello) - Setup
      
   2. Welcome to Windows hello - Get started
      
   3. My face is scanned, i get a blue loading square, and dots on my things
      
   4. A couple more things
      
   5. Improbve recognition - if i skip this steps it does not make a difference
      
   6. A couple more things - Set up PIN
      
   7. Microsoft Account - Create a PIN - Next
      
   8. Making sure it's you - I add my PIN - Just a moment - the window closes, nothign happens
      

I initially thought my webcam was the issue, but then chaging the PIN does not work either, and it has nothing to do with the camera

I talked with someone from support (support request number is 1056162110), and we tried different things until 3:30 AM my time, about 1:30 h.

On my laptop (win 10) with the same account, face recognition and PIN works, I have not tried to change them.

Is there any way to reset PIN on an account level? Or repair windows?

What else should i try?

 

Locked screen due to unknown PIN request.

The computer (Win10) in question is offline due to an adapter problem. Where the PIN request came from I don't know. I've never had one. I can't get online even with an ethernet cable because I can't get in. I tried to boot in SAFE MODE but after going through all the steps it loops back at the PIN window. Suggestions greatly appreciated!!

Hi sanjay28



Thank you for posting and welcome to Nokia forum! :Cool:



Your Nokia device requests PIN (Personal Identification Number) code to protect your SIM card and device against unauthorized use. Note that all PIN code is provided by your network operator. Nokia is not able
to provide you PIN or PUK codes.



Please note the following:

• When your insert your SIM card and boot up your device for the first time, you need to enter the PIN code. For security reasons it is recommended to change it to your own code, instructions on how to change the PIN code in your
  device is provided in the user guide or Nokia web site. If the PIN code is entered incorrectly multiple times, your device may request a PUK code to futher validate the user's identity and to unlock and change the blocked PIN code.
  

• The PIN2 code is a PIN code which acts as a second layer of protection for certain features of your phone. If the PIN2 code is entered incorrectly multiple
  times, your phone may request a PUK2 code.

If you have forgotten or simply do not know the codes, you must contact your Network Operator for assistance. However, if you have already contacted but the code does not work, you should consider getting a new SIM card from your Network Operator.
