Easy reset if you know your Microsoft account

 Windows 10 Mobile not only has basic functions as a mobile OS, but can also be used with a touch panel -equipped Windows 10 PC.In this series, we will introduce the Tips of Windows 10 Mobile, as well as seasonal topics surrounding the OS.

Do you leave the "Windows Hello" compatible device to "Surface Phone (provisional)"?

 The use of "Windows Hello" using a biological authentication framework is a fact that if you are using a corresponding Windows 10 PC, you know a hundred.Looking at other platforms, it is currently shifting from PIN (PIN) and gestures to biometric authentication using fingerprints.According to an article reported by overseas IT sites, Windows 10 Creators Update, which is scheduled to be released early in 2017, improves the performance of Windows Hello fingerprint authentication, face authentication, and color certification, and is unlocked to one second.It is said to shorten the process.

 However, there are few Windows 10 Mobile devices distributed in Japan that support Windows Hello biometric authentication.If you are strong, is it about the "HP Elite X3" fingerprint and rainbow certificate?On the other hand, "Lumia 950/950XL" is a Windows 10 Mobile device, which is a flagship model as a device that supports iris certification, but Microsoft Japan is supporting the development and sales of Windows 10 Mobile devices by partner companies, but Lumia Series.It is said that there is no plan to expand in Japan.

 This is probably due to rumors that the "Surface Phone (tentative name)" will be released in 2017 and the business strategy of Microsoft Japan, which emphasizes collaboration with partner companies.About Surface Phone, not only in Microsoft Japan, but also for Microsoft officials, it is just my guess.The only thing we know is that most domestic Windows 10 Mobile users still have to unlock Pin.

Restorable by entering the Microsoft account password

 The front pretend has become a little longer, but the setting of the PIN is an indispensable task for using a mobile device.Needless to say, if others make the device can be operated without permission, there is a risk such as disseminating information and leaking personal information.Many readers seem to have already set the PIN settings, but what they are worried about is that they have forgotten the pin.

 The [PIN] section on the [Account] - [Sign -in Options] screen of Windows 10 Mobile has a link called [If you forget PIN].Calling a function to reset if you forget PIN literally.Although the explanation has a explanation on the risk, the PIN in Windows 10 is only the information stored on the local device, so there is no possibility that the data will be lost.If you are strong, some of the preserved qualification information will be reset, so there is a possibility that you will be re -log in as described, but as far as I confirmed, I did not come across such situations.

 After that, enter the password of the Microsoft account to authenticate.In addition, I have enabled two -step authentication for my Microsoft account, but the procedure shown below did not require authentication operation.Isn't this because the internal logic is old or just comparing it with the Microsoft account information stored on a local device?After this procedure, you can set up PIN.After that, enter a PIN with 4 or more digits and reset it.
