Windows 10: How do I lock all windows settings behind a pin or a password besides the default...

So I realized with windows 11 when I try to view my passwords on chrome it prompt me to enter my windows outlook pin, which is great. But I realized that this option is a bit limited. I want to give my laptop to my friend for his project work and that would mean I have to give him my windows login pin. This also means he will be able to access my passwords in my google password feature. I was hoping there was a way to lock settings behind a custom password instead of the default windows login pin required. Please help, this is urgent.

Setting PIN to default without changing password

Hello,

My computer was previously set to a default PIN but that changed suddenly for no apparent reason (I wasn't fooling around in settings or anything security related). I can't get it to revert back to the PIN being the default choice for login. Other forum
threads suggest removing that password but that is impossible. If you click change, it REQUIRES you to type in a new password and there is no option to remove or delete the password.

Furthermore, I use that password on my other computer rather than the PIN and don't want to delete it in the first place. So how can I set the PIN back to default?
