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?

2018-09-08T15:37:05+00:00 I fixed this issue by simply removing the pin and then setting up a new one
Unfortunately, that didn't fix it for me.

2018-09-14T10:12:47+00:00 Wow, another monumental FAIL from the new, modern Microsoft. So far, after Windows updates I've lost the use of my Bluetooth mouse (still works with all other computers, BT radio works), use of SD card reader (driver error out of the blue), now microphone device has disappeared (just isn't there), and after latest update I can't log in to my device. Wonderful! And after spending hours researching on the internet and finding a hack to maybe remedy the situation (delete some files) you discover that even after taking ownership, and being an administrator, you just can't delete those files. FUBAR. Been using PCs my whole life, hated my work Mac, but now it feels pretty amazing compared to this. BTW. resetting your device and Windows - doesn't fix this BUG.
