When I had my computer set up years ago an admin pin and password was put in place. I don't know what the pin is but I know the password. when I load new software the computer asks for pin which I don't have. it then asks for the password which gets me in. Now it is telling me  that i missed the pin too many times and wants to lock me out. How do i get rid of the pin?

Windows for home | Windows 10 | Settings

    While you are logged in with the Admin Password which gets you in remove or change the PIN in your Admin Account.

    Just click "I Forgot My PIN"

    I know how to change the windows pin. The Issue is the Administrator pin which prevents you from loading any new software
