Windows 10: Email to reset PIN not arriving

hi. This morning when I tried to log in to my pc it rejected my PIN. After multiple attempts I decided to reset it. However the email with the reset link never arrived. Then the same thing happened with my laptop. I've made multiple attempts to get a reset link for both machines but the email never arrives. Im self employed and desperately need to resolve this and complete work scheduled for today, so I would be extremely helpful for any help

Forgotten PIN and expired password

Hi Dyari,

Thanks for your answer.

I tried steps of both links:

• #1: reset PIN code
  
  • I see no link "reset your PIN"on login page --> I can't reset it
    
• #2: change or reset windows password
  
  • My Windows account is not displayed at all on login page.
    
  • I am using a local account
    

If you have any other suggestion, I would be more than happy to try.

Regards,

Guillaume

 

Locked out of account, code not arriving in email

I had a local windows account with a password that was working fine until Microsoft forced a PIN on me one update. I finally got around to removing it and was asked for my (microsoft) password. I tried several including the one I use for login, and it didn't
work, so I reset my password for my Microsoft account (which I thought I never used) and stored the password in a password manager on my desktop. I then removed the PIN and logged out.

When I went to login to Windows the next time my password didn't work. It appears that the password I reset was my local login? The password is now stuck in the password manager which I have no access to. I tried a password reset link around 10x over a number
of hours (I had already received 1 for the initial reset, it arrived to my spam folder), but none of them ever arrived to either my inbox or spam folder. Also I am positive I am entering the right email, and that I'm correctly typing the "hidden part" (they
obscure a bit for security reasons).

My next step was, on the Verify Your Identity/Reset your password screen, to choose the other option "I don't have any of these". This led me to a form to provide them with information associated with the account. There I try to complete it, listing the
same email that is my backup contact. They again tell me "We just sent a code to **********@*******.com. Check your email for a message from the Microsoft account team, and enter the code here. Again the code never arrives.

I tried another email that was in my name, but unrelated to this account. I received the code there and filled out the form but was told I don't have enough info to reset. I then set off for the live help, which lied and told me it would connect me with
a person, and instead redirected me to the same form I'd already filled out, so I came here. What's my next move? Thank you.

 

Hacker Keeps resetting my Live email password.

I think he is trying hard to get to my Steam account again. Like I added in my first post I had a password reset for steam email.

And last time he did it I had several password reset emails in my live before (I suppose) he got it to work.

Now I don't even feel like my gmail is safe. I have it set up for Phone SMS and 2 step verification. Although I think he is having a hard time with my gmail.

HOW IS HE DOING IT!
