Windows Alert: Incorrect pin entered too many times, Enter A1B2C3


I have Windows 10 on an HP Probook. A few days ago, the login screen displayed:

You've entered an incorrect PIN too many times. Please enter A1B2C3 to continue

Now I have to enter A1B2C3 every time before I can log in with my PIN.

I have read a few documents but didn't understand why this issue appears all of sudden. Why is this happening and what is the solution?


Solution

  • I have experienced errors with Microsoft Windows PIN in the past but never this one. The error would go away when I changed the PIN, so you could try that.

    A quick Google search led me to this Microsoft Forums question:

    This login error happens when your current password has a problem, whether because of a Windows update or some other corruption
