option 4-digit PIN code disappeared in the connection of Windows 8 options

Hello

I hope someone can help with the above?

I have mistakenly entered the identification number that has been set up on my laptop in the password field when you connect on my new laptop and now I see more PIN option when he said options sign of change.  Clearly my fault because I wasn't really paying attention!

Now, I read somewhere that with W8 when you enter incorrectly the password 3 times now, which is clearly what I have done, that the option to connect using a 4 digit PIN, disappears!  If this is the case, how the hell do I now the connection option if there is no code pin to connect you to the help?  Please help and advise.  Thank you.

Hello
 
Welcome to the Microsoft community forums.
Sorry to know that you are facing this problem with the connection to the computer with the Pin number.
 
Please help me with the following information:
 
1. did you remove the old PIN until you have tried to create a new?
2. is your computer connected to a domain network?
 
Windows 8 has a feature where you can use a PIN digit 4 to connect to your Windows account. If you are a domain user, this feature is disabled by default.
 
We will try the following methods and check if it helps.
 
Method 1: Try the following steps to remove your old PIN:
 
1. Press 'Windows Logo' + 'C' keys on the keyboard to show the charms.
2. click on "Settings" and then click on "Change PC settings" at the bottom
3. Select 'Users' on the left of 'PC settings' Panel
4. click on "Remove the PIN" under "sign in options.
5. once the old PIN code is removed, try to create the new PIN and check to see if that solves the problem.

Method 2: If the problem persists, refer to the suggestions for arnavsharma

Hope this information helps, just reply to the State of the question to get help.

  • Examples of code to create the connection of BWS

    Hi I started using BWS (Blackberry Web Services) recently after the use of BAA (Blackberry Administration API) for some time.

I have the below code is missing the connection of BWS.

    Mr. VMware

    Dear all,

    We have enclosed a case at VMware, please find their findings on the same.

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    After the webex session, we just had, I discovered the root cause of the problem reported to an underlying problem on the block device (the logical drive, or a problem on the Board) presented to accommodate the data in question store successfully.

    In short, whenever we try to do raw reading from the disk (from sector 0), the same always fail when we reach the 30932992 bytes (31 MB) brand with an IO error (which is consistent, he is always on this region of the disc that read operations fail, no more, no less). This result can be seen, even if no partition is in the disk (using if = / dev/sdb instead of/dev/sdb1 with dd) and even after zeroing on all sectors (if dd \u003d/dev/zero of = / dev/sdb). Strangely, read operations work fine (as he writes zeros of random data) throughout the entire disk. Keep in mind that the tests I did with no VMware tools (I used almost only dd for these operations), which prohibits certainly a VMware problem (in fact, if you were to try to start the server with a Linux live CD and run the same tests that I did, you would see the same behavior).

    I know that there is no report of material of any bad behavior on the table, but data collected with our tests today completely invalid who. The next step is for you to take this to the server provider to check for problems on the table or discs, because they are there and they are the reason for the problem you reported initially.

    Please let me know if you have other questions about it.

    Thank you

  • Windows 7: connect using the 4-digit pin code

    Is it possible to log on Windows 7 using a 4 digit PIN - as can be done in Windows 8?

    Windows 7 doesn't have the PIN code function. However, you can create a 4-digit password (which in my humble opinion, is not really sure).

    Last time when I reinstalled my OS (years ago), there was a place where I could enter a PIN code to 16 digits and all my passwords, modules, etc., would stay again.... or at least that's how I remember it.

  • Windows 7 Home Premium - all user accounts have disappeared after the update of Windows...

    My Windows 7 Desktop is really watered.  After a Windows automatic update, none of the user accounts appear in the login window.  Only a generic connection where you will need to enter the user and the password are displayed.  And when I enter the user name and password, I get a message that they are not valid.

    Here are a few additional pieces of information:

    1. I tried to restore to the point before the update, but it fails.  I get a message that there are missing files.

    2. my other restore points I had before the update are no longer available.  I don't know what happened to them that they do not appear on the screen of restore points.

    3. I can't log on to the computer at all, none of the accounts work.  I can get to a command prompt by using the repair disk, and I can see all the folders for the users.  So everything is intact.   Something must have happened to some system files and thus connect is not possible.

    4. users appear in the list of profiles in the registry.

    5. no windows service start because none of the users are no longer valid.

    6. I tried sfc/scannow, but I get an error "already waiting.

    7. I tried to add users on the command line using net and they are successful but even when they do not appear on the login screen and I can't manually type in these user accounts - I get the message that they are not valid.

    I tried searching online and I'm still not able to connect to the computer.  It has been 2 days of downtime.  What happened to my old restore points?  And why doesn't my restore points created by the work of windows update?

    I want to just restore from factory default, but I'm afraid I'll lose data in particular, all of the files currently sitting in the user folders.

    Any advice would be much appreciated.

    1. I tried to restore to the point before the update, but it fails.  I get a message that there are missing files.

    -> Which files are missing? Can you give an example?

    2. my other restore points I had before the update are no longer available.

    -> This happens after the automatic updates.

    5. no windows service start because none of the users are no longer valid.

    -> How to tell you, because you were unable to connect?

    7. I tried to add users on the command line using net and they are successful but even when they do not appear on the login screen and I can't manually type in these user accounts - I get the message that they are not valid.

    ->, I guess you have done this so that in the WRE (repair Windows environment). It is a ghost environment that disappears that you restart the system. Drive X: is a virtual, not a real disc.

    I want to just restore from factory default, but I'm afraid I'll lose data in particular, all of the files currently sitting in the user folders.

    -> Many people are unaware of the need for regular backups (for example, weekly) until they are suffering from a major disaster.

    Suggestions

    Going by your description, I suspect that your existing accounts are irreparable. They need to be rebuilt. User data appear to be safe.

    Option 1. Use the console commands then in WRE to save all the files of the user on an external hard drive. A disk 2.5 "500 GB in a USB enclosure costs less than $60,00. After having tested the files on another machine, perform a destructive factory restore.

    Option 2. Start the computer with a boot of Ubuntu CD, then its GUI allows to save files to the user. It takes time to burn such a CD, but the copy process is easier. When you're done, do a factory restore.

    Option 3. A somewhat complex process allows you to create a new admin account, and then use this account to create new user accounts. You must then manually configure each of them (for example Outlook) and move their records of the old data to the new profile folders.

    There is also a method to restore old files registry of a set of backup files are a few days old. In your case I wouldn't consider as it would create a disjoint system: the registry files refers to a set of files that have been largely modified by the update.

    Post again if you need more detailed instructions for the option that you favor.

    Hi chenghao,.

    The error messages you provided are in fact rather generic, and as such, it is quite difficult to troubleshoot the problem only on that basis. I would like to ask you some questions to help me understand your problem better.

    What version of LabVIEW are you using? Also, the VI (or screws) you want to compile into an executable running on its own LabVIEW?

    Perhaps, it would be useful that you have downloaded your file VI and LabVIEW project (if you have one) as well as all other relevant records. If you do not have a LabVIEW project, please submit your application configuration settings.

    Thank you and looking forward to your response.

  • Disappears from the toolbar of Windows Mail

    I asked a question here a few days ago on the icons disappear on my toolbar of Windows Messaging, sometimes on Windows mail opening, sometimes after a few minutes. The toolbar is there, but there is nothing about it.

    The notice was to reset the layout toolbar. I did and it works, but the change in the presentation does not last. I click on apply, then OK, after removing the toolbar control; I then add a toolbar control and apply / OK again. This restores the icons, but it doesn't last. The next time I open Windows Mail, I have the same problem.

    What can I do to make the provision permanent?

    Hi Bobov,

    Have you tried all the methods of the previous thread suggested by Brian?

    Try this step.

    1. start Windows Contacts. Then click on organize and select Properties.

    2. in the Properties of Contacts window, go to the Customize tab. Here you can choose the type of folder to use for the Windows Contacts. Most likely, it is now changed for all objects, Documents or the music.

    3. in the text box that says "This file as a template to use", there is a selection area with the elements. Click on it, select Contacts , and then click OK.

    4. you should be able to see the toolbar.

    I hope this helps.
