Answer 1

Hello there,

To reset a forgotten PIN in Windows, you can follow these steps:

On the Windows login screen, click on the "I forgot my PIN" link or click on the "Sign-in options" link below the PIN input field.

You'll be prompted to verify your identity. Depending on your account setup, you may need to provide your Microsoft account password or provide answers to security questions.

Follow the on-screen prompts to verify your identity successfully.

Once your identity is verified, you'll be prompted to create a new PIN. Enter a new PIN and confirm it by entering it again.

Click on the "OK" or "Finish" button to complete the process.

After completing these steps, your forgotten PIN will be reset, and you can use the newly created PIN to log in to your Windows account.

If you're using a local account instead of a Microsoft account, the process may vary slightly. In that case, you might need to use alternative methods such as signing in with your password or using a password reset disk if you have one created beforehand.
