Changing Password Hint in Windows 10

I tried this on Windows 10 1709 but was stalled at step 2. The "Password" button is disabled. It says:

To change your domain password, press Ctrl+Alt+Del and choose "Change a password".

Guess what? That page does not give me the ability to add a password hint either. The funny thing is: I had a password hint until today. So, 100 days ago, when I changed my password, I was somehow able to supply a password hint and now I can't seem to find
how.
