When I go to put my pin in on my pc, it says “You’ve entered an incorrect pin PIN several times. To try again, enter A1B2C3 below.”. I do that, I put my pin in correctly, and then I log in. But, this keeps showing up and it is starting to annoy me. It's been like this for the past few days. Let me restate: I put my pin in CORRECTLY and it still shows this. Can someone please tell me how to get rid of this?

    Hello Charles, how are you?

    From what I understand, even with this problem, you can still access the correct Windows user?

    Thus, I recommend that you run all the checks below on your Windows, so if you have a corrupted file, it must be corrected.

    First, I recommend downloading and running the tool on the link below, please, for a system check and update:

    https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2171764

    Verify that the problem is resolved.

    If it persists, based on your equipment model, go to the manufacturer's website and download compatible and updated drivers, and reinstall them. Follow the guidelines on the link below, please.

    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/402844...

    Verify that the problem is resolved.

    If the problem persists, please follow the next guidelines.

    Important: at the end of each method, check if the problem has been solved. If it persists, proceed to the next one.

    SFC, DISM and CHKDSK.

    Use a Windows disk, file and image correction tool

    1. On the desktop, press the Windows + X keys, and select Windows Powershell (Admin);
    2. Copy and paste the following commands, one line at a time, followed by Enter:

    sfc /scannow

    dism /online /cleanup-image /CheckHealth

    dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth

    chkdsk /f /r /x

    To schedule a disk check, confirm with the S key and press Enter, and restart the equipment.

    *** IMPORTANT ***

    This is a process that can take some time to complete.

    I figured it out! you just got to restart your computer!

    Go down to start on taskbar, then go to bottom right corner of start. Click the power button, and click restart.
