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.

    I have just the same issue on Windows 10 pro version 1909. It worked for a long time. We talking about the Fingerprint 

    Any idea to solve ?

    This worked perfectly for me.  As soon as I switched back to my Microsoft account, I was prompted for Hello face recognition and pin.  Thank you.

    I was able to get mi pin to work simply by going to settings->accounts->your info->then click on sign in with a local account instead then after i complete that restart laptop repeat the process, settings->accounts->your info->then sign in with microsoft account after you do so itll ask if you want to set up face recognition then will ask to set up a pin. This worked for me i dont know if it will for anyone else having this issue doesnt hurt to try i know how annoying it is!

    So I tried your method, because I just found out my PIN is not available. And well, I don't really know what I'm doing wrong, but everytime I get to the step screened below, I just can't log in. I tried every possible password that I used to log in to my laptop, the microsoft account password as well, also I resetted it 3 times just to make sure, but nothing works. It's just dumb..
