  1. Locked out of computer


    I did an asus bios update that was well over due, 3 years old. It went successful.However upon restarting it says "Your pin is no longer available due to the security settings on this device. Click to set up your pin again."When I click. Nothing happens. I reinstalled windows last night but did the option that doesn't delete my data. Nothing changed. Will I have to delete all my data to log into my pc or is there another way so I do not lose my data?

    :)

    Random Auto-Locking of Computer Screen

    Nobody suggested checking out Event Viewer? When your computer randomly locks, search for, and open: Event Viewer Under Windows Logs, Check out: • Application • Security, and • System See if you can find something that states anything that could be related to your computer locking. The newest events are listed at the top of each section, so finding an event log would be pretty easy to find. Hopefully we can find what is causing the computer to lock.
