Error code 0x801c044f

I tried to change the Pin for my personal computer and it would not let me saying it is unavailable. I tried to get more resources and it told me the Pin is an option that is unavailable for personal accounts. I have a personal computer linked to a personal Microsoft account that has a Pin set up on, but Microsoft says the Pin option is unavailable for personal accounts?!!? Clearly something is not right there, I am willing to bet it is Microsoft's "help" message. I followed the link they gave https://aka.ms/PinErrors and looked through both lists of error codes they have on the website. The error code I got is 0x801c044f is not listed anywhere on that webpage. How do I get help with an error code Microsoft seems to refuse to admit exists? I wish I could say this surprises me but they have done this to me before with error codes that do not exist.

    4. Then after restart your computer.
    5. Now, repeat the process. Go back to Settings > Accounts > Your info > then sign in with Microsoft Account. This will ask you to set up a pin.
