Can't sign in after latest update

[susanmilam]

After updating today the computer is not accepting my facial recognition or password.  (Windows10)

\message Sorry something went wrong

Your PIn is nolonger available due to a change in security settings on this computer.  You can set up your PIN again by going to Settings Accounts Sign-in options. How can I get to this without the password. Have tried safe screen but that also asks for and does not accept password. Help all my college work on on this computer.

@susanmilam HP recommends using a Microsoft account for signing into Windows. Using a Microsoft account offers many benefits, including easy password recovery. If you currently have a local user account, consider switching to a Microsoft account after recovering or changing your current password. Go to Managing User Accounts and Logins (Windows 10) for more information.

NOTE: 

If you cannot sign in with your original password, make sure caps lock is not on and the keyboard layout matches your country/region. If available, use other methods to sign in, such as a password hint, PIN, or a picture password.

So Sorry for the delay, I have been out of own for a funeral, with no Wi-fi access.

It is an HP ENVY x360 convertible  13-ag0998na, running windows10.

The computer ran a windows update on 18/9 when it restarted the facial recognition would not work and it said it needed a pin to sign in. When you press keypad symbol it comes up with message " Your pin is nolonger available due to a change in security settings on this device. You can set up your Pin again by going to settings - accounts - Sign in options. Every time I put password in it says it is incorrect. If I go into safe mode it still requires a password which it says is incorrect.

@susanmilam I get uncomfortable with funerals, probably because I don't know what to say, so I hope you don't hold that against me, that said, here's a few things you need to do, and I hope your day gets better:

• Note: If you're worried that someone has unauthorized access to your account, see Recover your Microsoft account and Security info & verification codes.
• To reset a PIN when you're trying to sign in:

  • On the sign-in screen, select I forgot my PIN below the PIN text box. If there are multiple accounts on the PC, choose the one you need to reset. If you don't see I forgot my PIN, select Sign-in options and choose the password option. Then reset your PIN after you've signed in.

  • On the Enter your password screen, type the password for your Microsoft account, and then select Next. You can reset your password if you've forgotten it too.

  • On the Help us protect your info screen, choose to receive your security code either as a text or email message. If you select text, type the last four digits of your phone number, and then select Send Code. Learn more about security info and verification codes.

  • When you get the code as a text or email message on a separate device, enter it on the Enter the code you received screen, and then select Next.

  • In the Set up a PIN dialog box, enter your new PIN and confirm it. Your new PIN is set.

• If you remember your PIN and sign in successfully, you can then change the PIN to a number you'll remember more easily next time.
• To change a PIN when you're signed in:

  • Go to Start   > Settings  > Accounts > Sign-in options. Note: If you've just updated your computer to Windows 10, go to Start   > Settings  > Network and Internet. Make sure you're connected to the internet. If you aren't, connect and then try signing in with your PIN again.

  • Tap or click I forgot my PIN and then set up your new PIN.
