Windows 10: How to change my log in password back to 4-digits

Recently any time I log in to my laptop it tells me "this organization requires you to change your password". It tries to make me enter a 6-digit code. I tried to disable my college account from my laptop but it still makes me change it. I don't want to have to remember a new and longer password every time I want to log in to my own laptop.Also, every time I try to use Windows Hello it conveniently says "This option is unavailable", if I manage to try and change the pin it tries to make me do six-digits. Is there a way to disable using a pin to log in to my own laptop? Is there a way to change

:)

 

Laptop 4 digit password I can't log in

Hi,

To better assist you regarding your concern, we would like to ask some questions:

• Are you referring to removing the existing PIN?
• Are you referring to inability to log in because you forgot your PIN?
• If so, do you have other user account on your computer who has an administrator access?

If you have other user account on your computer that has administrator access, you can log in to that account and from there you can use the "I forgot my PIN" option to reset it. However, be guided that you need to remember your password(The one you use when
accessing your Microsoft account). To do so, follow the steps below:

• Go to Settings
• Click Accounts
• Click Sign-in options
• Click I forgot my PIN
• Click Continue
• Enter your Password
• Click OK
• Set up a new PIN (Enter at least a minimum 4 digit new PIN)
• Click OK
  

We're looking forward to your response.

 

Changing password back to a 4 digit pin

Hi John,

I would like to inform you that your query is bit confusing and what I understood is that you would like to change the Windows 10 sign in option to pin.

I appreciate if you could answer few questions to narrow down to the issue.

• • 
    Are you able to access the desktop or able to login as you are telling that it tells that you are entering the incorrect password?
    
  • 
    Which is the build currently installed on the computer?
    
  • 
    Is the account a local account or Microsoft Account?
    

I suggest you to sign out from the current account, restart the computer and log in with Microsoft Account and please follow the below steps.

• Press Windows + I keys to open
  settings menu.
• Click on Accounts.
• Click on Sign in options.
• Click on Add under PIN.
• Follow the onscreen instructions to create Pin.
• Sign out and try to sign in again using PIN as your Sign in option.

Hope the information helps. Please do let us know if you need further assistance. We will be glad to assist you.
