    I am able to log into my computer through the pin, but I am worried over the fact that I do not know my password incase I will need it. I can not find an option to change my password that does not require me to put in my password. I am up to date on all the windows 11 updates as of right now and I've tried everything I can think of.Thank you

    :)
