Hi Jaya prakash

Sorry to hear you're running into this. If you forgot the pattern/PIN/password for a Windows 11 Guest (local) account, here are your options:

1. Try another sign-in method
   • On the sign-in screen, select Sign-in options.
   • If a password is available, use the password instead of the pattern/PIN.
2. If it's a local account
   • Select Reset password (if available).
   • Answer the security questions you set up when creating the account.
3. If you can sign in to another administrator account on the PC
   • You can reset the Guest account's password from that administrator account using Computer Management.
4. If you cannot access the account at all
   • Sign in with an administrator account and create a new guest/local account.
   • If the forgotten account contains important files, let us know before removing it.

To go further, can you tell me:

• Is the Guest account a Microsoft account or a local account?
• Do you have access to another administrator account on the PC?

Hope this can help. Feel free to update here if anything comes up!
