Windows 10: Disable Windows 10 Pro PIN complexity rules

Interesting discussion and opinions, my son has Cerebral Palsy and cannot type very well, some time ago I thought it would be good training to set up a PIN for him that was short and simple and he has mastered the skill and we are rather proud of him. Anything beyond 4 digits and it's game over. Now I upgraded his pc for him to creators, he is denied the feeling of achievement it gave him to logon on his own. Sadly, I guess I will have to auto logon the pc (all or nothing I guess)
That sucks, and so for slightly different reasons, I have to agree with pmbAustin, extremely frustrating!

 

You must have very interesting people around you, i used my pc over 20 years, and i didn't needed to set any password. Untill i ligen in microsoft account in win 10. I loged to my pc by accident and i needed to set password as my computer was sended to repair so it was 1234. I think it is stupid to need anything to log in, to personal pc. But hey You thing it is safer, then i will take Your disc out and read data outside. I dont need to have your 2765 or sth pin.

But, anybody find fix to this problem?

 

I made an account specifically to reply to this.

I used to unlock my PC by entering a pattern on my numpad.
The only reason I used a pin at all was to prevent light snooping. I wouldn't want someone accidentally waking it up and seeing the last thing I was working on, so I lock it.
Simple.
After reinstalling, however, there was a brand new layer of complexity requirements dropped on me out of nowhere.
While, yes, I agree with you that it is more secure, it shouldn't be Microsoft's concern how I protect MY computer.
And that's my point.
It is MY computer and I deserve the right to f**k it up however I damn please.

Also, no... what?

 

Click the box to allow Letters & special Characters - then the complexity rule doesn't apply.. so you can use xxxx or zzzz or even probably four comma's. Periods probably wont work, not special enough.
