Windows 10: Remove Pin Number option

Hello. I have a Dell Optiplex 7050 machine which I accessed Windows with the Pin Number option. The technical service installed a new mother board to the machine. After this change, Windows could be accessed with the password option. I tried to change the Windows access option from password to Pin Number but when I tried to access the System it gave me an error message. The error message is as follows: “Your pin is no longer available due to a change to the security settings on this device. Click to set up your pin again. Set up my Pin ”. I choose the option "Set up my pin" and after following all the steps indicated by the system, it gives me a second error message. The message is: “something went wrong. We weren’t able to set up your pin. You can try again, or skip this step and set up a Pin later ”. When I choose any of the options that the screen gives me try again or skip this step the screen returns to the first error message. I need to know how to access windows in order to remove the pin number option and return it to the password option. I will appreciate the help you can give me.
