YOUR PIN IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE DUE TO A CHANGE TO THE SECURITY SETTINGS ON YOUR DEVICE.

Thanks, yet faced with “Your PIN is no longer available due to a change to the security settings on this device" then for me, there is no working option to sign in, which is only via a pin that there is no option to obtain.

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.

Yes, after trying other proffered solutions, your last paragraph was all that worked for me in my case. Note though that since I use Firefox portable installs on a partition and and many apps run from another drive, and I had backed use my Appdata User files, then this was not as time-consuming as it otherwise could be in order to attain the degree of customization Windows benefits from for efficiency and visibility, Thank God!

However, it remains that MS should correct this, as well as the lack of recourse when they block users on this forum.

This just happened to me out of the blue today. I thought I was completely locked out of my computer with nowhere to go. This solution worked perfectly. Everything back up and running exactly as it should be.

Thank you so much for your time in posting this solution.

Good day! I'm Raniel, a Microsoft user like you. I understand your frustration regarding this issue and I'll do my best to help.

Just to clarify, do you also encounter the issue when you access your account via safe mode?. Please see the steps under "From the sign-in screen": https://support.microsoft.com/help/12376/window...

Once in safe mode, kindly perform the steps on this article to troubleshoot the issue: https://thegeekpage.com/fix-sign-in-with-pin-is...

Another option is to enable the built-in administrator account, then create a new user account instead:

1. On the Windows sign-in screen, press and hold the Shift key, then select Power > Restart
2. After your machine reboots, click on "Troubleshoot" under Choose an option
3. Click on "Advanced options" > select "command prompt"
4. On the command prompt window, type net user administrator /active:yes and press Enter
5. Reboot your machine, see if you'll be able to login to the built-in administrator account
6. Create a new user account and copy your files to the new account(go through the steps under "My computer is in a workgroup") . Please refer to this article as a guide: https://support.microsoft.com/help/14039/window...

I hope this helps. Good luck!
