How do I reset my Windows Hello PIN?

Published in Windows Hello PIN Reset 1 min read

Here's how to reset your Windows Hello PIN:

  1. Sign in using an alternate credential: You'll need to sign in to your Windows 10 account using another method, such as your password, since you can't use the PIN. This confirms your identity.
  2. Open Settings:
    • Click the Windows "Start" button.
    • Select the "Settings" icon (it looks like a gear).
  3. Navigate to Sign-in options:
    • In the Settings window, click on "Accounts".
    • In the left sidebar, select "Sign-in options".
  4. Reset your PIN:
    • Find the "PIN (Windows Hello)" section.
    • Click "I forgot my PIN".
    • Follow the on-screen instructions to reset your PIN. You might be asked to verify your Microsoft account with a code sent to your email or phone number.
