Пин код windows 10 ошибка

Использование традиционного пароля при входе в учётную запись Windows не является единственным способом авторизации. В Windows 10 и 11 для входа в систему также может использоваться графический пароль, ключ безопасности и пин-код — привязанный к основному паролю четырёхзначный код. Использование пин-кода существенно упрощает процедуру авторизации, но только при условии, что отвечающие за данный способ авторизации компоненты работают нормально. В противном случае пользователь может столкнуться с серьёзными проблемами, вплоть до невозможности входа в учётную запись.

Примером может служить ошибка входа в учётную запись «Возникла проблема. Ваш ПИН-код недоступен». При этом пользователю предлагается настроить свой пин-код повторно, но ссылка на настройку опции не работает. 

Чаще всего причиной появления этой ошибки становится отключение пользователем из соображений оптимизации важных служб, например, службы изоляции ключей CNG. К ошибке может привести бездумное применение программ-твикеров, повреждение системных файлов, сбои в конфигурации пользователя, действия вредоносного программного обеспечения. Соответственно, вероятность удачного восстановления функции будет зависеть от того, насколько серьёзной является причина ошибки.

Если вы не можете войти в систему с пин-кодом, попробуйте войти с обычным паролем. Нажмите на экране с ошибкой «Параметры входа», кликните по значку ключа и введите в поле свой пароль. 

Если вход будет выполнен удачно, первым делом зайдите в оснастку «Службы» и проверьте состояние службы «Изоляция ключей CNG». Она должна выполняться и иметь тип запуска «Вручную» или «Автоматический». Если её настройки отличаются от указанных, измените их.

Если вы до этого отключали и другие службы, включите их. Перезагрузите компьютер и попробуйте войти в систему с использованием пин-кода. 

Восстановить доступ к учётной записи можно также удалив файлы конфигурации пин-кода, но так как с экрана входа в систему у вас не будет доступа к Проводнику, компьютер придётся загрузить с LiveCD, например, с WinPE 10-8 Sergei Strelec. Перейдите во встроенном в LiveCD файловом менеджере в расположение 

C:WindowsServiceProfilesLocalServiceAppDataLocalMicrosoftNGC

и очистите содержимое последнего каталога. 

Загрузившись в обычном режиме, вы попадёте на рабочий стол с формой для ввода обычного пароля. Если на компьютере имеется другая учётная запись, вместо LiveCD для доступа к папке NGC можете использовать её, но это тоже не очень удобное решение, так как оно связано с необходимостью изменения прав доступа. Да, после очистки папки NGC пин-код нужно будет создать заново. 

Если вам не удаётся войти с использованием обычного пароля, потребуется его сброс. Для этих целей опять же используем WinPE 10-8 Sergei Strelec, точнее, входящие в его состав утилиты Windows Login Unlocker, Active Password Changer PCUnlocker или Simplix Password Reset. При сбросе основного пароля будет удалён и пин-код, причём не имеет значения, какой тип учётной записи вы используете (локальную или Microsoft). 

Если устранить ошибку описанными выше способами не удаётся, есть вероятность, что неполадка вызвана либо повреждением системных файлов, либо отключением некоторых критически важных служб. В таком случае может помочь откат системы к точке восстановления, созданной на момент нормальной работы Windows. Для выполнения отката придётся загрузиться в среду восстановления. Для этого на экране входа в систему открываем меню электропитания и перезагружаем компьютер с зажатой клавишей Shift.

Попав в среду восстановления, перейдите по цепочке Диагностика → Дополнительные параметры → Восстановление системы и запустите процедуру отката к точке восстановления. 

В случае проблем с доступом к функции, используйте для входа в среду WinPE установочный диск с Windows. Выберите Поиск и устранение неисправностей → Восстановление системы и проследуйте указаниям мастера. Откат восстановит значительную часть критически важных файлов и вернёт службы в их исходное состояние, обеспечив тем самым нормальную работу функции входа в учётную запись.

How do I bypass the Windows 10 PIN?

You can’t. If it’s a Microsoft account, you can either input the password or retrieve it; if it’s a local account, you can either enter the password or reset the password using a Windows 10 password tool.

There is no way out unless you already have another account on that computer for which you know the password and can use that one instead.

The purpose of this security measure is to prevent anyone who is not authorized to be on it from gaining access to it.

How can I fix Something that happened and your PIN isn’t available on Windows 11?

If none of the methods presented above were successful, your best remaining option is to do a factory reset on your computer. Therefore, you will need a bootable USB drive with Windows 11.

After inserting the USB drive that contains your installation media, press F8 so you can be prompted to boot from the removable device.

You will be presented with the Windows setup screen, which you can navigate through to complete the installation of a fresh copy of the operating system.

Keep in mind that everything currently on the disk where you are installing Windows will be deleted if you do this.

The PIN is helpful if you don’t want to memorize long passwords. However, PIN issues such as this can emerge.

If your PIN and password aren’t working, your keyboard layout has probably changed. Or maybe something went wrong, and your PIN isn’t available.

You might be unable to log in to Windows 10, but fortunately for you, we already wrote about what to do if you can’t log in to Windows 10.

How do I bypass the Windows 10 PIN?

You can’t. If it’s a Microsoft account, you can either input the password or retrieve it; if it’s a local account, you can either enter the password or reset the password using a Windows 10 password tool.

There is no way out unless you already have another account on that computer for which you know the password and can use that one instead.

The purpose of this security measure is to prevent anyone who is not authorized to be on it from gaining access to it.

How can I fix Something that happened and your PIN isn’t available on Windows 11?

If none of the methods presented above were successful, your best remaining option is to do a factory reset on your computer. Therefore, you will need a bootable USB drive with Windows 11.

After inserting the USB drive that contains your installation media, press F8 so you can be prompted to boot from the removable device.

You will be presented with the Windows setup screen, which you can navigate through to complete the installation of a fresh copy of the operating system.

Keep in mind that everything currently on the disk where you are installing Windows will be deleted if you do this.

The PIN is helpful if you don’t want to memorize long passwords. However, PIN issues such as this can emerge.

If your PIN and password aren’t working, your keyboard layout has probably changed. Or maybe something went wrong, and your PIN isn’t available.
