After installing a new motherboard, my PC boots up and shows an error about using the pin login. Security settings have been updated, and the account I was trying to access no longer exists. Trying to sign in with another account results in a message saying it couldn’t be completed, suggesting retrying later or skipping the attempt now.

Place your previous motherboard inside, sign in, and connect your account via email rather than components. Your current Windows account remains tied to the old board.

Still running Windows 11? Major hardware upgrades can sometimes lock your accounts.

I couldn't reach it, so I had to replace my motherboard because it was broken.

I’ll likely attempt something similar since I don’t want to lose everything.

It should allow you to sign in using your Microsoft account. I just switched both computers a few times and it functioned that way. Unclear if it works when the network isn’t active during login.
