If "fix 2" does not work then register is probably corrupted.  In that case just create a new admin account as discussed in "4" rather than run a cleaner or use riegedit.

Did you create a new user account and make it administrator?

Then log out and log into the new account and then try setting up the pin?

If that did not work the possibly some corrupted files and you need to run (horrors)  SFC/SCANNOW from administrator command prompt
