I am unable to set-up a new PIN as it asks for a security code to be sent on a number I no longer have. I just updated my number on microsoft accounts and it says will take 30 days before it takes effect. Now I can't even log into my laptop. No option for password login or to change to a local account. Someone HELP!!!

    My solution:

    I ran into the same issue ytd, trying to reset my computer without knowing my PIN won't work afterwards.

    Initially, I wanted all of my files to be removed, so I chose "Remove everything". After it's done, this issue popped up.

    Fortunately, in the end I managed to solve this issue by resetting my computer again, selecting "Keep my files" option, and "Local Reinstall". It also involves changing your microsoft password in my case. Hope it helps.
