Windows 10: You must sign in to this device once with your new password, and then you can sign in with...

I was messing around my account for a password change but then I created a local account and setup a password and then I signed out of my Microsoft account and when I again tried to access my Microsoft accounts through pin it said "You must sign in to this device once with your new password, and then you can sign in with your PIN" Now I can't login and there is only a "Forgot Pin" Option not a "Sign-in Options"This is a nightmare and i have some important stuff on that computer also when I click on "forgot pin" It does nothing at all sometimes it brings up the Microsoft sign in menu of the Mic

• On the right side, you will see required sign in.
• Change it to Never.

Let us know how it goes.

Hi Rosa,

We appreciate your interest in Windows 10.

Before proceeding, we need to know whether you are using Microsoft/Local account to sign in to Windows 10.

If you are using Microsoft account to login to Windows 10, there is no option to disable the password and sign in to Windows 10 directly without entering password.

If you are using Local account to login to Windows 10, you can disable the password and sign in to Windows 10 directly without entering password. Follow the below steps if you use Local account.

• 
  Press Windows + I keys to open
  settings menu.
  
• 
  Click on Accounts.
  
• 
  Click on Sign in options.
  
• 
  Click on Change under Change your account password.
  
• 
  Enter your current password and leave the other two files for new password as empty and close the windows by clicking on
  OK button.
  
• 
  Sign out and try to sign in again and check.
  

Step 2:

You may also create the 4 digit PIN which will reduce your time to enter full password. Follow the below steps.
