    Windows Pin Issue


    I was prompted to set a pin when I first got my laptop but I never used it so I ended up forgetting it. Recently, my fingerprint had some issues so I wanted to reset it but I need my pin to do that. The problem is that I can't seem to change my pin.


    Under the "Windows Hello PIN" section of Sign-in Options, it says "Sorry, this PIN isn't working for your organization's resources. Tap or click here to fix it.". When I click that it pops up this tab:

    Windows Pin Issue 99e64f18-ba57-4aff-a66e-28d83a17d2d9?upload=true.png


    And when I click "OK" it prompts me to type in my pin. If I click the "I forgot my PIN", it just tells me to reset my pin in Sign-in Options. So, now I'm stuck in a loop of needing to fix the issue to change my pin but needing my pin to fix the issue.

    :)

    That's what the auto setting will do since you're over the 1333 mark it jumps to the next step which isn't listed or officially supported I assume by that ram.

    At this point though I would suggest dropping the multi one step or .5 so that we can get something stable and possibly take the heat issue out of the picture for now.

    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.

    Clear "Pin suggested" list in People Bar

    Does anybody know how to clear the "Pin suggested" list on the "People bar"?

    Contacts are added to the "Pin suggested" list once you've pinned and unpinned them. But there seems to be no obvious way to remove them from that list.

    After playing around with this feature and pinning and unpinning many dummy contacts, it's rather annoying to see them in the "Pin suggested" list when you click on the "My People" icon in the taskbar.
