HP Recommended

I have a HP Pavilion x2 running Windows 10 (fully up to date)

Normally I sign in with a PIN however recently every couple of times I try to use the PIN it comes up with the following.

"This sign in option has been locked out for security reasons. Use a different sign in or connect your device to a power source for 2 hours then re-start it and try again."

It is possible to sign in with a password still after choosing this from "sign in options"

So far I've performed a System Reset and also deleted and re-input the password but the problem always returns.
