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.

    When I press shift + restart, it just restarts. Am I doing something wrong? I'm holding down shift every time

    Hello, 

    Try signing up using Password if you have one. Once you logged on to the pc. 

    1. Press: Windows key + R 
    2. Type:  msconfig 
    3. Select Normal Start Up, then Apply the changes and restart your PC. 

    Hope this will help.
