Which version/build of Windows 10 do you have. Did you set a MS online account prior to the PIN, maybe you can't remove the PIN as it's the only account sign-in.

I don't use it on my public build but was forced to set a PIN during a clean install of a Insider Preview (future version) so perhaps it also depends on the version you have. The option to remove the PIN is definitely available on my preview build and I have a MS account set.

Hello,

Click I forgot my PIN link. Provide your password, if asked. On Setup a new PIN, click Cancel button. PIN should be removed now. Here's the video illustration of this method:
