Windows 10: Disabling the login PIN without a password

I've been using a pin to login to windows 10 after boot up, but now I've decided I would rather have it login automatically. I've seen many explanations on how to disable the pin, but they all require a password. I'm pretty sure I never entered a password for this computer. On the first login it gave me the option to use a pin instead of a password, which is what I did. So how do I now modify the startup so that neither a password nor a pin is required. I realize that most people would consider this unsafe ... but this is really want I want to do on this particular computer.

Sign in to RDP?

I setup a pin on my computer to login but now when I try to sign into my computer with RDP using my pin, it doesn't work. What should I use as the password or should I disable the pin in order to login using RDP

 

windows 10 passwords

Windows 10 applied a patch, rebooted and reverted me from the pin login to the local windows password. it is not giving me the option to use the pin. It is not recognizing my password. I went onto microsoft.com and reset my password but it still is
not working. How do I change it back to pin (desired) without being able to login? Or how do I reset my local password.

 

The password being asked for should be the password to your Microsoft account.

 

Hello Paul,

In addition to what NavyLCDR posted above, you could use OPTION ONE in the tutorial below with your Microsoft account password to set Windows to automatically sign in to the account at startup.

Actually that was the first thing I thought of trying, but it didn't work. (It asked for that password the next time I booted).

But I just tried booting again and now it works. Microsoft seems to like making these things as difficult as possible.
