Windows 10: Start my computer without using the pin.

Upon setting up my new HP computer I was asked for a pin number which I did, not knowing I had to put in that pin to start up my computer every morning. Is there any way I can just start up my computer without using the pin please.


I have tried to cancel the pin by going into settings, Accounts, Sign-in Options, I forgot my pin, Continue, leave pin field empty, Click on cancel. Pin was supposed to be removed upon start up but unfortunately not for me anyway.


Any other ideas would be gratefully received.


Cheers
