PIN and password are the two most common sign-in methods for Windows 10. It is wise to set both codes simultaneously, because if you forget one of them, you can still use the other to log in to Windows 10 without being locked out.
For example, if you forget your password but remember your PIN, you can log in to Windows 10 with your PIN, and then reset your forgotten password. Conversely, if you forget your PIN but remember your password, you can also reset your forgotten PIN without effort.
But what if you forgot both your PIN and password for Windows 10? How do you log in? If you still have other login methods, such as fingerprint, Picture password, face recognition, or another account, it's certainly not a problem. But what if you don't? Don't worry. There is still a solution.
