I added a school account to my hp laptop and when I logged in again it said that I needed to change my PIN to 6 digits. Then it wouldn't let me change it after I logged in. It also won't let me delete it either. On all of the ways to sign in it says this option is currently unavailable.

    Hello

    I’m sorry to hear that you’re having trouble with your PIN. Here are a few steps you can try to resolve this issue:

    Reset your PIN: If you aren’t signed in to your device and you want to reset a PIN, look below the PIN text box. If you see “I forgot my PIN”, select it and follow the instructions to reset your PIN.

    Update Administrative Templates: If you update the administrative templates to the latest ones for Windows 11 Build 22H2, you will find that there is a group policy called “Disable All Apps from the Microsoft Store” under Computer Configuration/Administrative Templates/Windows Components/Store.

    Remove and Add PIN Again: Go to Settings > Accounts > Sign-in Options > Click PIN > Click the Delete button. To completely remove the PIN, enter your Microsoft Account password. Once deleted successfully, try to add the PIN code again.

    Modify Registry: Open regedit, go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>Software>Microsoft>Windows>Current Version>Policies>System. Modify EnableLUA, change value from 1 to 0. Click OK and then restart.

    Please remember to back up your registry before making any changes and proceed with caution as incorrect changes can cause stability issues.
