@34r24234234fwef, Welcome to HP Support Community. 

 

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you. 
I understand you're facing an issue where your HP laptop says "Your PIN is no longer available due to a change in the security settings on this device," and trying to reset the PIN results in an error. 

Recommended Steps to Resolve the PIN Issue

Option 1: Use Password Instead of PIN

  • On the login screen, select "Sign-in options" (usually found under the PIN entry box).
  • Click the key icon to switch to password login.
  • Enter your Microsoft account password (or local password if that’s what you use).

If you're able to log in, follow the steps below to reset the PIN:

Option 2: Reset PIN After Logging In

  • Press Windows + I to open Settings.
  • Navigate to Accounts > Sign-in options.
  • Under PIN (Windows Hello), click Remove.
  • Then, click Add to create a new PIN.

If You Can't Log in at All

Option 3: Use Safe Mode with Networking

  • Power off your laptop.
  • Press the power button, and as soon as it starts, press the F8 or Shift + F8 key repeatedly (on some models, you might need to press and hold Shift + restart from the login screen to enter recovery).
  • Select Troubleshoot > Advanced options > Startup Settings > Restart.
  • Choose Safe Mode with Networking.
  • Try signing in and resetting the PIN again.

Option 4: Reset via Microsoft Account (Web)

If you're using a Microsoft account:

I hope this helps.
