  1. Windows unable to change/remove pin


    Hi, I've been using pin to log in to my PC for a year now.

    Today I tried to change/remove it so I searched the internet on how to do that but everywhere it says

    settings > accounts > sign-in options >pin > change, remove.

    But at the above specified location it says that windows Hello Pin - this option is currently unavailable-click to learn more.

    How can I solve this ??

    I want to remove my pin so as to only be able to log on to my pc using my microsoft account password.

    :)
