    At start up - asking for PIN not password


    At startup I'm informed there's something wrong with my PIN instead of asking for Password. If I go the reset PIN route and log into my Microsoft Acct. It states a code was sent to my email but sometime I get it but now nothing comes no matter how many time I request it. Sometimes it comes hours later or currently not at all. So I'm locked out of my computer. any idea , clues, hint, or take a bat to it

    :)
