Windows 10: It seems I can't change my Account login PIN

HelloSo my current Windows and Microsoft user is a personal account this one. I also got two more accounts but no users, just accounts for Office from two different universities. It seems to me that Windows is expecting those not personal accounts but I'm using my personal one and none of the options is available to me. I'm currently using a password with letters and want to set up a PIN instead.
