Fucking happy I bought a mac again.
My laptop from ASUS TUF is amazing. The only problems I ever have are related to that retarded Windows operating system. FFS.
So some stupid update over the weekend, while i didn’t have the laptop with me. Windows casually starts the computer and does the update without the user’s permission, because it’s a bag of shit.
But I’ve gotten quite used to that abuse from Windows by now.
However, this time around I can’t even fucking login to it to start doing my work. Because the latest update blew up the fricking PIN. Can’t use the PIN no more, and since the update there is ZERO other option for logging in.
Forgot PIN option doesn’t do shit, either.
It’s so unbelievable.
I went from my Mac to the microsoft account. I found my laptop and locked it down. It was like a comedy show of bugs and things that just don’t make sense. After a while, it managed to lock down the laptop AND GUESS WHAT: — it didn’t have any options to UNLOCK afterwards :))
Pure comedy.
Microsoft is shit.
Safe mode is supposed to help you get inside windows without needing the PIN. guess what? – doesn’t work either with the latest update.
FML.

cd \Windows\ServiceProfiles\LocalService\AppData\Local\Microsoft
takeown /f NGC /r /d y
icacls NGC /grant administrators:F /t
rd /s /q NGC
exit
^^ open your computer with CommandPrompt
type those things into the command line, and you will get rid of the PIN.
this will make it give you other sign in options
That's how you'll log into windows without PIN.
