Install Pinterest On Windows 10

May 14, 2018  How to Install the Pinterest 'Pin It' Button. This wikiHow teaches you how to install a button in your computer's browser that allows you to view (and potentially pin) any Pinterest-compatible photos on a page. Go to Pinterest's browser. In windows 10 you can add how much you like Numeric Digit Pin Code and it has no limited Pin code, for example, you can add only 4 or 6 digits numeric code on apple device like iPhone or iPad but in windows 10 it isn’t limited but for adding a pin to your account is better to add 4,5,6 or 8 digit numeric pin code.

After my computer decided to run some updates, I was unable to login with my PIN. I had to do a password reset. I'm trying to re-enable the PIN, but I'm having difficulties.

I'm in Settings > Accounts ? Sign-in options. Under the PIN section, I should see an option to change or reset my PIN. However, that option doesn't appear. Instead, there's a button labeled Add. See this screenshot:

When clicking the Add button, I get the following dialog:

App

No matter what I enter in the box, it disappears once I enter the same number of characters as the length of the PIN I had been using, regardless of which characters I enter. When the dialog closes, nothing further happens.

How can I set a PIN?

After receiving no replies here, I asked this question over on Microsoft's support site. I'm copying the reply I got there, with the one modification I had to make to get it to work.

Step #1: Delete the Ngc folder.

  1. Use your password to log in to Windows 10.
  2. Open File Explorer and paste this in the URL box: C:WindowsServiceProfilesLocalServiceAppDataLocalMicrosoft.
  3. Right click Ngc folder and choose Properties.
  4. Navigate to Security tab and click on Advanced button.
  5. Locate the Owner section at the top and click Change link.
  6. Enter the object name to select enter Administrators, if you’re using administrator account, or your user name and click Check Names and click OK.
  7. Check Replace owner on subcontainers and objects and click Apply and OK. Now you should be able to access the Ngc folder.
  8. Open the Ngc folder and perform steps 3-7 on each subfolder.
  9. Open Ngc folder, select all files and folders in it and delete them.

Step #2: Start creating a new PIN.

After you’ve deleted everything from Ngc folder, you can create new PIN for your Windows 10 device by doing these steps:

How To Add Pinterest Button

  1. Go to Settings app, then Account Settings.
  2. Choose Sign-in Options and click Add a PIN.
  3. Follow the instruction to add a new PIN.
  4. Test your PIN using the Command Prompt (Admin).
  5. If you cannot find the Command Prompt Admin, you can enable it using Command Prompt and typing net user administrator /active:yes
  6. After enabling built-in administrator account, you may logon and try resetting the password of the account which is not working. You may disable it later once you are done by entering net user administrator /active:no in Command Prompt. You can use this also if you want to change passwords or PINs in other User Accounts.
