    Remove the option to add pin etc at start up


    Hi,
    I have just installed 2 x SSD with the help of some Win 7 members.

    One runs Win 7 & the other Win 10
    Im pretty much all set up now but one thing Im stuck with is the option to either enter Pin or Password at start up every time.

    Im the only user so when I switch on pc I just want to load the desktop without having this login part every time.

    :)

    Add Pin option is not working

    If the previous steps failed to work. You can try to Remove
    and Add your PIN. Here are the steps:

    • Click on Sign-in options and login to Windows with your Microsoft account or local account Password.
    • Click on Windows icon at the bottom-right corner, on top of Start Menu click on your account icon and select Change account settings.
    • On the left-side panel of Accounts settings, select Sign-in options.
    • On this page, you have a number of options
      select PIN.
    • Directly below PIN, you will see two buttons. Click on Remove.
    • You will be asked "Are you sure you want to remove your PIN?" etc. Select
      Remove.
    • A Log-in Box now opens for you to re-enter your Password then click
      OK.
    • You will be returned to the Sign-in option
      page where you can now add a PIN once again.
    • Enter your new PIN and confirm PIN, click on OK to reset your new PIN for your Windows Sign-in.
    • Restart your PC and Sign-in with your new PIN to confirm.

    Don't hesitate to contact us if you have further inquiries.
