    How do I remove my Windows PIN?


    How do I remove my Windows Pin, the sign-in PIN that I have to fill in every time I start the computer before I can use it? I found where I can change it but the "remove" button is greyed out. All I can do is change it but I want to remove it. My device is a Windows 11 desktop computer acquired earlier this year. I never used a PIN before and just filled it out to see what it was. I thought I could remove it. Now I'm stuck with it and I don't like it. How do I make the greyed-out "remove" button black so that it works?

    :)
