Windows 10: Gave my Windows Login PIN to someone using my computer - How can I disable it or prevent...

as the title says, let's say someone is borrowing my laptop and they have an issue so I give them my PIN so they can do administrative tasks to fix it. Once they've fixed the issue, I don't want them logging in with my PIN. How do I prevent this? Does changing my Microsoft password require password entry on devices that have PIN set up?thanks,Dan

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.
