reformat time i guess :p
so im going to seem stupid AF, but when i updated windows it asked me to set a new PIN NUMBER. It didnt register at the time that it was asking me to put in a new PIN "NUMBER" to access my computer
id always had an alphanumeric password before the windows update.
So my brother is over my shoulder, and he says "isnt a pin usually a number?" and then it hit me
The prompt after the update where it asked me to update my PIN was it changing it from my previous alphanumeric password to this new NUMBERS only PIN.
Honestly, I dont know whether to feel stupid, or if that was really not an obvious fix, but I cant be the only person who was confused after the update.
I should pay attention to the fields I fill out more closely.
Thankfully the issue is over and im back online, but how ridiculous.
