I'm trying to sign in to my xbox account on my pc and i forgot the pin how to i reset it?

I'm assuming you are talking about the PIN on the Xbox when you sign in, which is 6 digits? If you have a friend who has an Xbox, try signing in on their console, then go to Profile & system > Settings > Account > Sign-in, security & PIN > Delete my PIN. Then sign out of it when done.

Do you sign in to your PC with a PIN?

Hello Liz Duguay1,

Thank you for your contribution to the Microsoft community.

I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble with your PIN. To troubleshoot this issue, you can try resetting your PIN. Here are the steps to reset your PIN:



1. Go to the Microsoft account sign-in page and select "Sign in with a security key or a different password."

2. Enter your email address and click "Next."

3. Select "Forgot my PIN" and follow the prompts to reset your PIN.

4. Once you've reset your PIN, try logging in to your Minecraft account again.



If resetting your PIN doesn't work, you can try signing in to your Minecraft account using your email and password instead of your PIN. If you're still having trouble, please let me know and I'll do my best to assist you further.

I was able to sign out of my son's account in the Microsoft Store- thank you. When I try to sign in to Microsoft Store again with my account, I enter my username and password, but then I get a prompt saying "To easily and securely access apps with <my email address>, you need to set it up with Windows Hello Face, Fingerprint, or PIN. If you already have it set up, we will automatically add it for this account. You may be asked to re-verify with Windows Hello." When I select OK, it asks for my PIN. When I enter what I think is my PIN, it says "The PIN is incorrect. Try again." When I select "I forgot my PIN", it says "You can reset your PIN by going to Settings > Accounts > Sign-in Options." Where? On the laptop? In my Microsoft account? We are logged into the laptop on my son's account, not my account.

I was trying to do that.

I sign in to PC with his account and tried to open MSStore/Xbox launcher with my credentials. It asked for password than for PIN. PIN was not recognized [I am sure this is correct PIN]

Try using your Son's pin at that screen... I know, you're going to tell me it is your email that is shown... how could his pin work in that dialog box??

Don't ask me how/why, but it should. That is what I had to do to add MY store account to my kids login.
