Every time I attempt to change to a pin password; I am told that something went wrong. I am using a HP Laptop. I was using a Pin password, after the a Windows update; I lost the ability to use a Pin Password. I do not want to use my Mircosoft account password,
I would like to use a 4 digit Pin number.

Want to sign on with PIN instead of Password

Thank you. I had already followed these steps to disable the HP Client Security passwords popup. I never found the DPAgent.exe *32 process, and I still don't see it now.

While these steps seem to have worked to disable the pop up, I have just restarted my computer, and I still needed to put in my password.

Steps 1: Launch the File Explorer.

Step 2: Browse to this location, and delete the contents of the folder.

C:\Windows\ServiceProfiles\LocalService\AppData\Local\Microsoft\NGC

and I key), Accounts > Sign in Options.

Step 4: Click on Add a PIN and set your PIN.
