Windows 10: When my PC goes to sleep and I need to enter my pin to reopen

When my PC goes to sleep and I need to enter my pin to reopen - The first time I enter the pin it reverts back to ask again. Seems like I had entered the wrong pin, but when I enter the pin again all is good! I have tried removing the requirement to have a pin , it still asks for a pin. It seems that there is a requirement in the software that needs two pins in sequence. Not sure how I got this problem!
