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?

2020-10-30T18:59:19+00:00 Sorry, I posted this in the wrong spot moments ago.
Anything I do brings me back to
"something happened and your PIN isn't available. Click to set up your PIN again."
with a link to: Set up my PIN
I click it, and it comes back to the above.
I tried holding the shift key to restart in safe mode, but it comes right back to the same "something happened..." prompt.
Any ideas anyone?
Per microsoft suggestion, I did a clean boot prior to this happening.
Thanks to anyone who can help - I'm days and days into this now with no luck logging into the computer to begin troubleshooting
