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?

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.

    They are completely incompetent. And have no clue how to do support and os development. Switching to something else. It is inexcusable to lock you out. I didn't make a face surgery andni still know my password, bit machine is just locked. When i need it. **** you microsoft. And your support is just another chat to waste some time.

    But it is showing I had been denied to delete NGC folder I clicked properties on NGC folder and gained permission and made me an owner. Even though it is not allowing me to delete. What to do?
