In the last few days I found myself returning a laptop purchased on Amazon and before proceeding I had to remove pin on Windows 10.
When setting up a new computer or performing a fresh installation of Windows 10you are prompted to generate a password or pin for access, which will be prompted every time the computer starts or when the lock screen appears (for example, after the device goes into standby). Later it is possible to delete the pin, to have access without any protection, which I usually do not recommend, but in my case it was necessary because the computer would no longer be mine, so I carried out the procedure that I explain below.
