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?

Hi Jean,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Xbox Community. I understand that you're having issues logging in to a different computer and you're being asked for a PIN.

If the option I forgot my PIN is available, select it and follow the instructions to reset your PIN. If there are multiple accounts on the device, choose the one you need to reset. This option is only available for Microsoft accounts, not for local accounts

If the option I forgot my PIN​​​​​​​ is not available, you must sign in with your password and then reset the PIN from the Settings app. Select Sign-in options and then select Enter your password

You can also use the Settings app to change your PIN.

In the Settings app on your Windows device, select Accounts > Sign-in options or

Select PIN (Windows Hello) > Change PIN and then follow the instructions. You must enter your old PIN in order to change to a new one

If you forgot your PIN, select I forgot my PIN and follow the directions to verify your account and create a new one

Keep me posted.

Regards,

Alvaro

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.
