    It stopped bugging me for a while and I thought the Einstein's at MS fixed the problem....NOPE...it's back with an F'ing vengeance!!! I lost a password of 6yrs and it had nothing to do with me or my life...just random words of upper and lower case letter, numbers, and symbols with no ryme or reason to it.  Then MS SCREWED up and made me change it and I can't get it back!!!  I'm reall;y annoyed by this PITA that Microsoft created and wont FIX...HELLooooooo?????  I'm so F'ing annoyed by this.....that I've considered replacing it with Lenux next year!!!  I'm tired of all the bugs MS has!!!  I game and recently MS has been restarting when I'm gaming...NO WARNING!!!!  What's WRONG with this?????  I had to go into setting and turn it off!!!  You IDIOTS turned it on with one of the MANY UPDATES you've been doing!!!!  I'm NOT Happy with MS ATM!!!!!!  Why can't you make a fix for this instead of making us go through HELL to fix it ourselves????  You are the ones who created this HELL and you expect us to EMBRACE IT????  HELL NOooooooooooo!!!!! FIX THIS BROKEN  DILAPIDATED OS!!!

    I have the same problem as well. I have 3 Windows 10 running on 2 pc and 1 computer one of which has "Home" version, whereas the other 2 have the "Professional" version. I set a pin for one pc and when I re-start the computer, it asks the pin and claims that the pin I type in that box isn't correct although I'm writing the correct one. It directs me to change my microsoft account's password. I'm sick of changing my account's password. How many times do I have to change my microsoft account's password in 24 hours? Are you kidding us Microsoft?

    I DO NOT WANT TO CREATE a Damn PIN, I DO NOT WANT PASSWORD. Clean this mass up or I will change the operating system. I'm sick of this stupid pin, password thing. It MUST be our decision to set a password/pin or not. I neither want to set a password nor a pin. Even when I set pin, your buggy system doesn't accept the correct pin; it claims I typed an incorrect one. So much stress for a simple, stupid decision. How hard can it be, right? Just give us our right --to remove pin/password in order to open our pc smoothly-- back. None of the answers here work, none of them.

    Worse yet, if you select Continue, it prompts for your Windows password, and suddenly you're not sure whether this is legitimate -- but there's NO WAY TO GO BACK, no way to verify who is asking, no way to close the app; you just have to sign out. Can't even save a screen shot of the thing.

    Is this a valid design for security software?

    STOP FORCING US TO USE FEATURES WE DO NOT WANT ALREADY.

    I had to hit reset to avoid having to set a PIN, as I did not want one.

    You could really earn a competitive advantage over Apple if you cut out:

    • Software that cannot be removed (I don't want to use OneDrive it does not matter how many ways you push this in my damn face)
    • Folders that cannot be removed (e.g. 3D F*cking objects)
    • No opt-out to security features - it's our bloody choice, not everything is a f*cking phone
    • Also broken documentation sites where things change so often that they become a myriad of redirects to splash pages that no one ever wanted to land on...

    I shouldn't have to research registry entries just to get rid of **** I never wanted in the first place! I don't understand why you do not get this and it is so massively frustrating.

    Vent over, much better.

    Edit: Formatting, as apparently your WYSIWYG editor is also sh*t.
