    Xbox Console PIN reset issues


    My Xbox One S will not let me get into 'Access Restrictions' in settings without a '6 digit 'Console PIN' that was never actually set up on my console. When I input the wrong PIN 3 times it should prompt me to enter my Microsoft account password to reset the PIN but it just keeps returning me to the previous screen. Does anyone know how to fix this?

    :)

    Xbox Console PIN reset issues

    Hi there! This is Virginia O.

    I understand that you are experiencing issues resetting your Xbox pin.

    I apologize for the inconvenienced this has caused you. I will do my best to help you.

    Before resetting your PIN once again, please perform these steps first:

    Please clear alternate MAC address by going to Settings > General > Network settings > Advanced settings > Alternate MAC address and select "Clear."

    This will restart your console.

    And then restart your console. Turn off your Xbox by holding the power button for 10 seconds, then unplug it for a few minutes. Plug it back in and turn it on.

    Next is to check for system updates. Kindly make sure your Xbox is running the latest system updates. Go to Settings > System > Updates and check for any available updates.

    Once done checking if the Xbox is up to date please proceed with resetting your Xbox pin.

    Please press any 6-digit combination three times. This should prompt you to enter your Microsoft account password.

    After entering the incorrect PIN three times, you should be prompted to enter your Microsoft account password. And then reset your PIN or remove it.

    Thank you for your cooperation.

    Please help me with sing in

    Hello WaterSpider1996,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

    We understand you are having issues with signing in to Xbox App since it is asking for 4-digit PIN. Let's work on this together and sort this out in timely manner for you to get back to gaming.

    To sign in to the app, you need to enter the same 4-digit PIN that you use on your console. Since you don't remember your PIN and no longer have access to the Xbox Console, you can reset it online by following these steps:

    1. Go to https://account.microsoft.com/devices and sign in with your Microsoft account.
    2. Find your console in the list of devices and select Show details.

    3. Under Device info, select Reset PIN.
    4. Enter a new 4-digit PIN and confirm it.

    5. Sign in to the app with your new PIN.

    I hope this helps you resolve your issue and enjoy gaming on the app until you can get a new console. If you have any other questions or concerns, please let me know.



    Sincerely,

    I forgot the pin for parental controls

    Hi Levi,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Xbox Community. I'm sorry to hear that you forgot your parental PIN on your Xbox console. You will need your Microsoft account password to reset your PIN. Please follow these steps:

    When you’re prompted to enter your PIN on the console, enter any 6-digit combination three times.

    Enter your Microsoft account password when prompted.

    Select Make a new PIN.

    Enter a new PIN, and then enter it again to confirm.

    Regards,

    Alvaro

    Limit to number of Pins?

    I was able to resolve this issue by logging onto my Xbox 360 and deleting pins. They were maxed out at 200. Deleted all pins and now I can pin from anywhere including the console and Xbox app.
