“Hello there. Can I ask something? My computer also has Windows 10 installed Have an encrypted session I enter the password when signing in. And I get an error like this 0x8009002d Please help me I have important files on my computer.” – Michael R., United Kingdom
Before addressing any computer issue, I always recommend scanning and repairing any underlying problems affecting your PC health and performance:
- Step 1 : Download PC Repair & Optimizer Tool (WinThruster for Win 10, 8, 7, Vista, XP and 2000 – Microsoft Gold Certified).
- Step 2 : Click “Start Scan” to find Windows registry issues that could be causing PC problems.
- Step 3 : Click “Repair All” to fix all issues.
Setting up weekly (or daily) automatic scans will help prevent system problems and keep your PC running fast and trouble-free.
Wally’s Answer: You get this error when you try to log into Windows. I’m guessing that you probably have the “Pin Sign In” feature enabled.

Problem

What Is A Password PIN Sign-in?
Windows Hello enables Windows 10 users to use a short PIN number to log into a Windows 10 computer.
This PIN number is only used for logging into that specific computer. As opposed to a password that can be used to log into a user account on any device.
If the same user account is being used on another device, then another PIN will need to be made for the other device.
