Same here, ended up having to hold down Shift key as I clicked Restart from the power icon in corner of log in screen. Then selected Reset PC/keep personal files.

I am unable to login into my computer (windows 10). I get the message “your pin is no longer available due to a change the security settings on this device. You can set up your pin again by going to settings/accounts/siding options.” There are no other options for signing in. Does anyone know what to do to login?

2018-09-05T19:05:16+00:00 Hi,
yes, the only way to solve this problem was to reset the computer. This causes the next problem. My Office 2016 was deinstalled and I had a lot of work to install the software again.

This is obnoxious. I just walked my brother through this process and we had to reset his PC because of a windows update.
