I'm locked out of my compter, says invalid pin

[Windows Central Question]

I can not access my computer, it says pin is invalid. I know it is not invalid and no one used the computer but me. It worked fine last night and this morning it says invalid. I've even rebooted several times. How do I get passed this?

If you are still unable to log in follow these steps: On another computer, go to Microsoft’s Sign in page ( microsoft.com). Once there, enter your email address and click Can’t access your account.

Then follow the wizard. You’ll have to prove that you really are you, based on answers and phone numbers that you’ve previously provided. Eventually, you’ll be asked to create a new password.

you can follow this thread too, where a user is in a similar situation like yours:> http://forums.windowscentral.com/as...cept-my-pin-log-what-do-i-do.html#post3566856
