Something happened and your PIN is not available - Disabled msconfigurations by accident

[Iasconer6]

I accidentally disabled multiple msconfigurations. After restarting my computer, I encountered the error "Something happened and your PIN is not available." It prompts me to search for an app to install, but nothing happens when I click yes.
I've tried troubleshooting, including startup repair and safe mode but these haven't resolved the issue.
Most solutions require my Microsoft password, but even after resetting it and ensuring my keyboard is plugged in correctly, I can't log in. It states my password is incorrect, even though it isn't. I also can't access the command prompt or system reset because of this.
I'm not sure how to proceed and haven't found helpful articles for this situation.

Try booting your machine with Windows 10 installation media
At the Install screen, click on "Repair" on the lower left.
Then Troubleshoot.
Advanced.
Command Prompt with Admin.
Select Command Prompt and type in the following:
bcdedit /deletevalue {default} safeboot
If that gives an error, use:
bcdedit /deletevalue {current} safeboot

It sounds like you disabled some critical services in MSConfig (System Configuration) and now your PIN is not available when trying to log in to Windows. You likely disabled services related to Windows Hello or Credential Manager. Here’s how to fix it:

Solution 1: Boot into Safe Mode and Re-enable Services​

1. Restart your PC and enter Safe Mode:
   • Hold Shift while clicking Restart from the login screen.
   • Navigate to Troubleshoot → Advanced options → Startup Settings → Restart.
   • Press 4 or F4 for Safe Mode.
2. Open MSConfig:
   • Press Win + R, type msconfig, and press Enter.
   • Go to the Services tab.
   • Click Enable all to restore default services.
   • Click Apply → OK.
3. Restart your PC normally and check if the PIN is available.

Solution 2: Reset Windows Hello PIN​

If the above doesn’t work:

1. On the login screen, click I forgot my PIN.
2. Follow the instructions to reset your PIN using your Microsoft account password.

Solution 3: Enable Necessary Services via CMD​

If you can’t access MSConfig, you can use the Command Prompt:

1. Boot into Safe Mode with Command Prompt (same process as above but choose Option 6).
2. Type the following and press Enter after each:
   sc config wlidsvc start= auto
   sc config VaultSvc start= auto
   sc config NgcSvc start= auto
   sc config CredentialManager start= auto
   
   
3. Restart your PC.
