I forgot my 4 digit pin

Hi @Jessica266 

 

Welcome to the HP Support Community! Thanks for posting your query! 

 

We're here to help you get back up and running.

 

To guide you accurately, I’ll need a bit more detail about the situation:

  • Is this 4-digit PIN for your Windows login, printer access, BIOS setup, or something else?
  • Which HP device are you using—laptop, desktop, printer, or tablet?
  • Do you remember if this PIN was set up through a Microsoft account, or was it created locally on the device?
  • Are you still able to access the device in any other way (e.g., password, fingerprint, USB recovery key)?
  • Has anything changed recently—like a Windows update, device reset, or network change?

Once I understand the context, I’ll walk you through the most effective recovery path.

 

Regards, 

Hawks_Eye
