Did you check in the BIOS to see if there is an option to clear the TPM? I see you turned the TPM off, so I'm assuming that you are now signing in with a password. If you are using a password and don't use BitLocker it should be safe to turn the TPM on and then clear it. After that you should be able to login and setup a new pin number. Don't forget to have a backup image before you try anything. It's also possible that you have a defective motherboard.

Actually there is a way to clear TPM from within windows and MS suggests it be the first method to use when one wants to reset TPM. Troubleshoot the TPM (Windows) - Windows security
I found it interesting that in that same article, MS suggests doing this any time one wants to do a clean install of windows. I had never thought of that, but it makes sense it would be a good thing to do.

Doing it in Windows is just another way to access the Bios to clear the TPM. I look at it as one way is manual the other way is automatic.

Conspiracy theory alert!!

MS knew TPM would be a can of worms. MS knew the bios was foreign to a lot of people so they gave an Automatic way of clearing it. :wink:

My old B450 R3 1600 won't boot with TPM on in the bios (winload BSOD)- so.......! Couldn't be bothered.

Well I was bothered in the end.. LOL

Updated bios fixed it.
