Reset PIN

If you've forgotten your PIN, we'll walk you through resetting it, so you can use it to sign-in again.

If your PIN still works but you want to change it anyway, go to Start > Settings > Accounts > Sign-in options and under PIN, select Change.

Did you mean to cancel PIN?

Having a PIN on your device makes things easier—like unlocking, or signing in to your favorite apps. We think you'll like it.

  • I'll set up a PIN later

Something went wrong

We weren't able to set up your PIN. You can try again, or skip this step and set up a PIN later.
  • Error code:
    Correlation ID:
    Timestamp:
  • Skip for now

All set!

You're ready to go.

Are you sure?

If you use your PIN to access games, social networking, or financial institutions, you'll need to sign-in to each of those places after you reset your PIN. This isn't a move you'll want to take lightly if you use your PIN in several places.

If you reset your PIN, apps might require you to sign in again, and any data that's managed by an organization could be lost.

If your PIN still works but you want to change it anyway, go to Start > Settings > Accounts > Sign-in options and under PIN, select Change.
