    Windows PIN error that spiraled into insanity.


    So, yesterday I booted up my trusty Dell Latitude 5590, and tried to sign in. On the login screen, I was met with an error telling me that the PIN is no longer available, so I set up my PIN again, typed in my password, and then was met with me needing to receive a code from my email. The problem is that this user account is the only place my email is signed into. Other than my phone, which I have to get repaired as the screen fried. So, I borrowed my sister's phone and tried to log in to my email on there, but I have 2FA enabled! So, I used the utilman.exe glitch to get command prompt open to

    • Open Settings.
    • Select Accounts.
    • Click Sign-in options.

    Windows 10 PIN Sign-in

    Hi Pat,

    It is possible that the PIN set in an earlier build does not work after reinstalling Windows 10. To better assist you, we'd like clarify few things:

    • Which build and version of Windows 10 is installed on your computer?
    • Which build and version of Windows 10 are you using before reinstalling Windows?
    • Have you tried resetting your PIN?
    • Did you get any error messages after you verified the PIN you entered?

    Meanwhile, we suggest that you follow the steps in this
    article     on how you can reset your PIN.

    Keep us posted if you need additional help.
