    like anyone would know to do this,,, the real question is why Microsoft in their infinite wisdom did not build a don't ask again into their utility? Nope we have to go on the internet and type the problem and spend two hours of our lives fixing it ourselves. Not so good job Microsoft

    This should be the top response. I did not even realize that a choice was selected when I was logging in because the selection of the 10-key versus the password is not obvious. This is either Microsoft being inept or they are trying to manipulate people. Thank you so much for posting this!

    Thanks so much!  I must have accidentally clicked the PIN icon.  I was going nuts until I found your solution.
