    Add PIN or Change PIN in Sign in Options

    I have already set a PIN for my Local Account and my "Sign in Options" in Settings looks like this showing "Add" under PIN:


    Forgot my user PIN. No other options to sign In.. Cannot reset my PIN 109146d1485973780t-add-pin-change-pin-sign-options-add-pin.png


    Various sites I have visited indicate that as I have already set a PIN I should have the option to "Change" or "I forgot my PIN". like this:


    Forgot my user PIN. No other options to sign In.. Cannot reset my PIN 109149d1485973780t-add-pin-change-pin-sign-options-change-pin.png


    Can someone explain why there is a difference please?

    Missing Pin Option in Sign-In Options Menu

    The 'I forgot my PIN' option allows me to change my PIN, but the PIN change option is still missing in my Sign-In options. Trying the steps in the link provided doesn't cause this option to appear. Is it a bug in my OS?

  4. Forgot my user PIN. No other options to sign In.. Cannot reset my PIN

    Forgot PIN, no other login options

    I lost the PIN for a Windows laptop. When I hit "forgot my PIN" the screen said "just a moment" and had a spinning circle. It stayed that way for about 10 minutes, then there was a popup that said "you must download an app from the Store to complete this request". When I returned to the login screen, I tested a number of PINs that were incorrect, and now there is no "forgot my PIN" option. There was never an option to sign in with a password listed.
