Hi @Thivyaa_46,
At the sign-in screen:
- Select Sign-in options and try your PIN.
- If it's a Microsoft account, click "I forgot my password", or reset it from another device at https://account.live.com/password/reset
- If it's a local account, answer the security questions shown after a wrong password.
- If none of these work, the only option is to reset the PC (hold Shift and click Restart > Troubleshoot > Reset this PC), which removes your files.
