Windows 10: Can't disable/remove PIN for logging into Windows 10 v1903

Hi,

It's been quite sometime and I've tried many ways to disable the PIN but I can't.

1. I removed the logging in password, and now my PC log in screen shows two log in methods, [password and PIN] clicking on password automatically logs me into the windows while clicking on PIN asks for PIN.


2. For a time, There was option to change the PIN, however, the option to remove it was grayed out, and i tried to remove it by leaving the new PIN field empty but I couldn't.


3. The option to change or remove it has disappeared, instead, "Sorry this PIN isn't working for your organisation resources. Tap or click here to fix it" message appears. I want to point out that, it's a personal PC, I have my institutes office365 account signed in, nothing more.



Kindly help....

:)

Disabling User Passwords Disables PIN and Hello?

Hello Eric,

Thank you for posting your concern in Microsoft community and welcome to the windows 10 Family.

From the description provided, I understand that the sign in option is not working after you disabled the option for PIN input for password.

At this point, I would suggest you to deploy the
System Restore option in Windows.

This option takes your PC back to an earlier point in time, called a system restore point. Restore points are generated when you install a new app, driver, or Windows update, and when you

create a restore point manually. Restoring won’t affect your personal files, but it will remove apps, drivers, and updates installed after the restore point was made.

• 
  Right-click (or press and hold) the Start button, and then select Control Panel.
  
• 
  Search Control Panel for Recovery.
  
• 
  Select Recovery > Open System Restore > Next.
  
• 
  Choose the restore point related to the problematic app, driver, or update, and then select
  Next > Finish.
  

In order to disable the PIN sign in option in Windows 10, refer to the below steps.

Step 1: Access PC settings and open
Users and accounts.

Step 2: Select Sign-in options and tap the
Remove button under PIN.

Note: you can navigate to the same path in order to re-enable the PIN.

Hope the above information is helpful. If you need further assistance, we would be happy to help you.

Thank you.
