  1. windows using admin pin instead of password


    i bought a new pc recently, and ive been trying to make myself administrator so i did the usual stuff, force reboot, cmd prompt, reset admin password, but the issue is, its asking for a pin that i neither know nor have permissions to change so really all im asking is how to make the admin popup screen use password instead of pin, without said admin pin

    :)

    Want to sign on with PIN instead of Password

    Thank you for your reply Person.

    Glad to know that the Pop up with the password manager is disabled with the above suggestion.

    Try the below suggestions to fix the issue with Signing in using PIN authentication.

    Steps 1: Launch the File Explorer.

    Step 2: Browse to this location, and delete the contents of the folder.

    C:\Windows\ServiceProfiles\LocalService\AppData\Local\Microsoft\NGC

    Step 3: Go to Settings (Press Windows
    and I key), Accounts > Sign in Options.

    Step 4: Click on Add a PIN and set your PIN.

    Step 5: Restart the computer and check the status of the issue.

    Hope it helps.
