Signing into Windows 10 password error...

Following your instructions is fine as far as reaching the word "Add" - the only choice here, on my screen, is to use a picture instead of a password or pin. Once "add" is clicked I get a full screen picture of a flower - no reference at all to change from
password to pin.
