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?

Hello,
Try signing up using Password if you have one. Once you logged on to the pc.
- Press: Windows key + R
- Type: msconfig
- Select Normal Start Up, then Apply the changes and restart your PC.
Hope this will help.

2019-01-16T04:48:04+00:00 You have to long press the SHIFT Key and then select RESTART.
It will take you to the settings over there select RESTART.
You will get a Safe boot window and then you can able to log in.
Once logged into the pc Windows + R key = Type MSCONFIG
Goto the Boot and Uncheck the Safe Boot box. Again click the GENERAL and select Normal Start Up.
And now Restart the PC. You are set to go.
