    Windows 11 Home locall admin account password changed on its own


    Dear Community,A lot is asked about it, but nowhere a reasonable explanation and a proper way to change password is given. I got this laptop, a Dell Inspiron for 6 months now. I installed this laptop, created a local admin account and gives it a password and a pin. Login went by giving password.After an forced update of Windows 11 suddenly I needed to use the pin code to get access to my laptop. I did not ask for it, but suddenly, out of the blue Windows decided this for me, until this morning.... now I have to enter the password again, but the choosen password is the wrong one. Whatever I try

    :)
