And to answer the question of why don't I just reset the computer and be done with it ? The biggest reason is that most of what's on it is some pretty important stuff to me. And I'd rather not think of the possibility of losing alĺ of it. I gotta be positive right now.

You know what Hazel? You're right, there really isn't anything bizarre about it. I must've been thinking of something else while reading your post. That's odd. Anyway, thanks for contributing to the cause!

@Hazel123 Yes, I could. I've remembered PINs by trial and error before! Your idea of a solution was way out there btw. Were you serious with that? I don't want ruffle your feathers if you were truly serious, I just thought it was a bit bizarre.

@FreeBooter Thanks for all of help so far, I really appreciate it! For some reason, I can't any of these solutions to work. I start out great and then come the blocks. In your latest one, I got stuck on renaming the SAM key. The error says that it's being used by another proces. Does that mean...

@FreeBooter, @glasskuter This little nugget of information is really gonna limit me. I only have the phone I'm writing you on now and my computer, which I cannot sign into right now. That's all I have access to right now, so I can't download anything right now. And glasskuter, my computer is not...

Well, this ain't good. After I entered the command to delete the NGC file, it said the file didn't exist. I am desperately trying everything I can think of to avoid what would be a catastrophic reset for me. OneDrive does have some files but nowhere near what I'd need to get close to where I was...

Thanks for your help glasskuter. I got all the way through your instructions up until the sign in screen. It says "You've entered an incorrect PIN several times" and then I was supposed to enter a challenge phrase to try again. I did that, but on the next screen there wasn't a new user named...

Hi glasskuter, I thought I was leaving some pertinent details out of my original post, but I didn't know what exactly. OK, when I set up Windows, just about a week ago, to be exact, I had to sign up for an MS account. Yes, Ik have those login details, and OneDrive did backup some of my files...

Idgat, I just read your edit and I can assure that I am the owner of the computer that I'm having sign in problems with. I don't know what else I could do to put you at ease other than to give you my word. As I am a new member, I don't blame you for questioning the genuineness of this thread.

Hi idgat, The answer to your first question is yes, I do have a PIN set up, and no, I have not activated the hidden admin account. Can I still activate it now? I'm looking for a backdoor that I'm almost sure is there.

Hello all, I'm having a ton of trouble signing into my local account. As far as I can tell, my only option that I have is to somehow remember the pin. I don't have a way to reset it at the sign-in page, and I don't have a password. I do have a Microsoft account,, but that doesn't do me any good...
