Hi,I recently forgot my windows pin password and I wanted to reset it but it says (This option is currently unavailable) and when I press the button where it says Tap or click here to fix it,it gives me this error.This causes a bit of problem for the Microsoft word and it says I need to sign in again and I did until it asked for the pin which I forgot.How can I fix this so I can turn it back to normal where there are no windows hello and I can reset the pin again.I appreciate any suggestions, thank you.

Windows for home | Windows 10 | Windows Hello, lock screen and sign-in

    finally solved . removing my school/work account solved all my problems even windows defender didn't work due to some restrictions laid by the school/work account. 

    Thank you, this one solved my conundrum. I removed my work account/email then restarted my laptop --> sign-in page --> 'forgot my PIN' --> then it prompted the whole process of resetting my PIN afterwards.

    Cheers!

    Paul Navera, this was very unhelpful. Can you provide a link that actually leads to a solution?
