Too many restarts disables your pin on windows.

So what the hell are you supposed to do if your PC reboots so much that it disables your pin and instead graces you with the awesome message. Wait 2 hours online then you can login again. How can you do that on a computer that reboots every 5-15 minutes.

Enter Reg Edit

I had to figure out how to disable the pin and reenable the windows hello.

Disabling the Windows Hello PIN in Safe Mode with Command Prompt access involves modifying system settings through the command line. Here’s how you can proceed:

1. Delete the NGC Folder:

The NGC folder stores PIN-related data. Removing its contents can effectively disable the PIN requirement.

• Take Ownership and Delete NGC Folder:

1. In the Command Prompt, execute the following commands:
   cmd takeown /f C:\Windows\ServiceProfiles\LocalService\AppData\Local\Microsoft\NGC /r /d y icacls C:\Windows\ServiceProfiles\LocalService\AppData\Local\Microsoft\NGC /grant administrators:F /t rd /s /q C:\Windows\ServiceProfiles\LocalService\AppData\Local\Microsoft\NGC
   These commands take ownership, grant full control to administrators, and then remove the NGC folder and its contents.

2. Modify Registry Settings: (Paths might vary I had to dig a little more in the Windows folder to find the right one, look for Currentversion)

Adjusting specific registry values can disable the PIN sign-in option.

• Set AllowDomainPINLogon to 0:

1. In the Command Prompt, enter:
   cmd reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\System" /v AllowDomainPINLogon /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f
   This command sets the AllowDomainPINLogon value to 0, disabling domain PIN login.

• Set AllowSignInOptions to 0:

1. Continue with:
   cmd reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\PolicyManager\default\Settings\AllowSignInOptions" /v value /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f
   This command disables the sign-in options, including the PIN.

3. Restart the Computer:

After executing these commands, restart your computer to apply the changes.

Important Considerations:

• Administrative Privileges: Ensure that the Command Prompt is running with administrative rights to execute these commands successfully.
• Caution with Registry Edits: Modifying the registry can have significant impacts on your system. It’s recommended to back up the registry before making changes.

By following these steps, you can disable the Windows Hello PIN through the command line in Safe Mode.
