Windows 10: Your pin is no longer available

Hey !! it's saying "Your PIN is no longer available' error can occur due to corrupted boot data that interferes with the startup sequence." and my Microsoft password isn't working. I had to reset my PC but if this happens again I want to know how to fix it? I couldn't login to my account at all, I even changed the password to see if it'd work despite already knowing my previous one. Is there a known reason for this? All troubleshooting options involved needing to put in a password

:)

Hi Tim,

To further assist you in signing in to your Windows computer, you can follow the steps provided below:

• 
  From your
  lockscreen, check if the "Sign-in option" is available.
  
• 
  Then click the option to use PIN.
  
• 
  Enter PIN.
  
  

If that didn't work, we highly suggest that you create a new account/PIN that you can use to log in to your computer.
