Windows 11 Sign Issues with Challenge Phrase

Had same issue, the challenge phrase is literally what it says - you just have to enter A1B2C3 and it lets you try your PIN again. Hope this helps

This worked for me. I didn’t try it at first because it seemed too easy. I was getting the error because someone had laid something on my keyboard while it was on the Lock Screen.

Thank you Teluila!

Hi i forgot my password

Hello. I have faced the same issue ..

It is very simple to reset your password.

It will promote you enter the challenge, which is displayed like A2C3*****

Once you enter it, it will as your pin..enter the pin or password then try to enter. If it's still says incorrect pin, in the bottom you see that forgot my password..

Then you would require to sign in with your Microsoft account. Give email id and password...it will promt you to reset pin .

Reset your pin and login again...

yeah can we add a setting to change it? please

Hi,

I am trying to sign into my laptop as normal, but it says my password has been entered incorrectly so I have to enter the challenge phrase A1B2C3 and then my password. I know my password is correct but it keeps locking me out saying it is incorrect. I've followed Windows 11 tutorials to fix login issues but none mention the challenge phrase, which seems to be our issue.
