I am unable to access my individual account in Windows 10, which is the only administrator account on the computer (there are 2 other non-admin accounts for other family members). I was trying to come up with a way to make W10 stop at the login screen, rather the automatically open the last account, like W7 did. The only way I found to do this was to put a password on my account, for which I included a PIN. I guess that wouldn't have solved to login screen problem anyway. But soon after doing that, in Settings I selected the option under the password setting to not have it ask me for the password. I can't remember the exact wording of what I clicked. I was hoping to just delete the password completely, but the setting I selected was the only option available.
Now on the login screen for my account all that appears below my name is the 'Sign-in' box and no place to enter a PIN. Seems perfect, but when I hit enter or click on Sign-in the screen refreshes to say 'Enter PIN' with an 'OK' button, but no place to enter a PIN. Clicking the OK button just brings me back to this screen. I've tried type my PIN both before and after clicking OK but it doesn't do anything. Is there anything I can do short of reinstalling W10 to be able to regain access to the only admin account on my computer?

Mar 23, 2018 The first issue I encountered was about a day after I got it.

Feb 13, 2017 we can't sign into your account windows 10 problem after update and lost file. Sometime after update windows 10 we found we can't sign into your account. It's can be solved using this way.
