Windows 10 not accepting PIN all of a sudden..... :(
Hi all,
Hope someone can assist....
My father's Windows 10 machine stopped accepting his PIN all of a sudden. There is no other sign-in option. I read that there's a way to get them back but since he only ever logs in with his PIN he has no idea what the password is (if any).
When clicking on forgot my PIN the email address listed is a really old one that he longer uses nor can get into. Started filling in the form to try and regain access but after Microsoft's verification it has been unsuccessful....
Is there any other way I can somehow fix it for him? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Also why would this happen all of a sudden? He's been using the same PIN forever and it stopped working all of a sudden?
