Forgot your Windows PIN

Set a new PIN from the sign-in screen.

Updated September 21, 2026

A PIN is a short code that works only on your computer. If you forgot it, you can set a new one.

  1. On the sign-in screen, select I forgot my PIN.
  2. Sign in with your work email and password when asked, and approve the sign-in on your phone.
  3. Follow the prompts to choose a new PIN.

Pick a PIN that others cannot guess. Avoid 1234, your birth year or the last digits of your phone number.
