    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.

    PIN is now being required to logon

    Hi Kevin,

    If you're having trouble using your PIN to sign into Windows, you can try resetting your PIN. Kindly check this

    If that doesn't work. We suggest resetting your PC.

    • Start your PC and select the Power icon in the bottom right-hand corner of the lock screen.

    • While holding down the Shift key, select Restart.

    • On the Boot options menu, select Troubleshoot > Reset this PC > Remove everything.

    • Your PC will restart and will reset itself.
