If you've forgotten your PIN for your Yubikey, fear not! You CAN reset it yourself by following these step-by-step instructions.
Please note: You'll need access to the Internet. Since you've forgotten your PIN/password, you won’t be able to log on to a computer yourself, so you’ll need to find someone who is already logged in and use their computer. |
Click on the Windows button at the bottom left of your screen.
