Anyone responding to this, PLEASE READ THE POST --- DO NOT tell me to go into settings or run a program or any other "solution" that requires being logged in, because the whole issue is it won't let me log in and I CANNOT get access to those options.What really steams me, is this was caused by an automated update I could not prevent; has implemented a policy change I did not approve; and has resulted in being completely unable to access and use the multi-thousand$ computer I own.<Details>Today, in order to fix a Microsoft Word issue she's been having, I just turned on my wife's Lenovo Yo

Pin # required

For years I have only needed to sign into my computer at start up using a password, now after a recent windows update my computer wants me to change to a Pin # which I don't want to do. In order to get into my computer I now need to enter my password, then
go to the next screen and say add a pin, then when the next screen comes up to set up a pin I have to cancel, then I have to indicate not now then I get into my computer. **I have not set up a pin yet**** how do I get rid of all these steps to just sign into
my computer using my password only and not adding a pin and get rid of these steps which I have to follow to stay the way it was before the update.

****I DO NOT HAVE A PIN ESTABLISHED, SO I CANNOT REMOVE IT AND I STILL WANT TO SIGN INTO MY COMPUTER USING MY EXISTING PASSWORD ONLYI N ORDER TO PROTECT MY COMPUTER****
