Windows 10: Why am I being forced to change my PIN number?

I am aware that this question has been previously asked, but it seems that this question was not fully answered. Since the password is only for logging into the computer itself, why does it appear that "my organization" required me to change my PIN number? I've only had my laptop for less than two months. I haven't been using my laptop for about one or two weeks and now my laptop requires me to change my PIN number. Is there a way to prevent this from happening again?
