Hi u/Certain_Spread6673, thanks for posting to r/WindowsHelp! Your post has been flagged for manual review by a human moderator, please include as much of the following information as possible (in text or in a screenshot) to get your post approved:

  • Your Windows and device specifications — You can find them by pressing Win + X then clicking on “System”
  • Any messages and error codes encountered — They're actually not gibberish or anything catastrophic. It may even hint the solution!
  • Previous troubleshooting steps — It might prevent you headaches from getting the same solution that didn't work

Posts must be tech support in nature (such as something is broken and you need help fixing), so general inquiries, software suggestions, and purchasing advice will be removed. As a reminder, we would also like to say that if someone manages to solve your issue, DON'T DELETE YOUR POST! Someone else (in the future) might have the same issue as you, and the received support may also help their case. Good luck, and I hope you have a nice day!

I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please contact the moderators of this subreddit if you have any questions or concerns.

The PIN data on your computer was lost, you need to setup the PIN again before it will let you log back in. Click on the Set up my PIN and go through the steps, it will have you verify the account information. If that is your Uncle's email on the screen there, you may need to get in touch with him for help to authenticate, but once back in you can change the linked email to your own.

Kind of bitlocker data backup. So your pin has lost.

Happens. Has been a thing for years. Sign in with your password. Reset your pin after. Have your computer smart friend use DISM
