I just installed Windows 10.  It asked me for a pin number so I put one in.  BUT, I live alone and don't need or want this pin #.  I just want the PC to start.  How do I get rid of the PC asking me for a pin number

This did not work for me. When I canceled the pin, signed out, then back in, I requested a password.
