I forgot my PIN, and I attempted to change the PIN after signing in with my microsoft account. Repeat, I was already signed in. I clicked "Forgot PIN" and it asked for my recovery ID. But the dialog box timed out seconds after before I had even finished typing in my recovery ID. THE STUPID DIALOG CLOSED IN LESS THAN 10 SECONDS !!!!!
