    TPM lockout for 2 hours


    Why do I get TPM locked out of Windows 10 for two hours with error "This sign in option is disabled because of failed sign in attempts or repeated shutdowns. Use a different sign in option or keep your device powered on for at least two hours and then try again." after entering wrong PIN too many times? There is no option to sign in with Microsoft account password on Windows 10 v2004 since it requires Windows Hello sign-in for Microsoft accounts. I had to wait two hours for the lockout to expire and if I get one more incorrect pin attempt I get locked out again for another two hours. Is there a way to reset the TPM 2.0 lockout on Windows 10 v2004. The TPM lockout makes the computer unusable for the next two hours. I have an ASUS motherboard and an ASUS TPM-M R2.0 module plugged into the motherboard TPM connector.

    If/When solved, consider ... do you really need all the hassles of Windows (and/or device specific) multiple options/levels of security access (passwords, PINs, eye, finger, etc)? In some cases you may, of course, but I quite often find the every-day user just thinks that because it's there, it has to be used, and/or it's a bit of a gimmick to use it.

    Plenty of alternate ways to secure any confidential data which doesn't affect the whole OS and device.
