This same issue can happen if your bios is updated by Windows in some cases as the bios resets, security is considered changed so your pin is set as invalid.... Despite it being Windows which caused the issue. AHH Microsoft, incompetence defined.

    It is comforting, in a dystopian way, to see that the world continues to operate as expected. Remember when Bill Gates started being cool and sending people Xboxes on Reddit ands everyone was like this guy is pretty cool for a mega-rich and those of us who have been around were like yeah this is really weird and I don't trust it.

    Then it turns out the guy was a sex pest and a friend of Epstein and we were all like... okay yeah this all makes sense again.

    Similar thing.

    We learned our lesson about not trusting the "cool" billionaire after Bill Gates, though. Well, Bill Gates and Elon Musk. Well, Bill Gates, Elon Musk, and SBF. Bill Gates, Elon Musk, SBF, and Sam Altman.
