So I tried to login to my pc today, but my pin wouldn’t work. I used the same one that worked yesterday, but today it said incorrect pin. After some tries it said I had to restart to try again, but after restarting the “I forgot pin” option has disappeared from underneath the pin box. How can I get in if I can’t reset my pin? Thanks!
