    New hardware - lost PIN recovery email address - 30 day wait?


    I have replaced my motherboard and processor. After restarting my system, Windows wants me to enter a new PIN for security reasons. Normally that's not a problem, but the recovery email address I've put in years ago seems to have expired : Changing to a new recovery email address will be activated after 30! days before I can use it in order to login to Windows again. So I wont be able to use my computer properly for a month.... Is there any other way so I can speed things up?

    :)
