Windows 10: Is it possible to change the Windows Hello PIN from another location without accessing the...

Suppose there are 2 accounts in a Windows 10 device- one is primary and the other one is a child account. You have the PIN to both the accounts, but suddenly when you use the correct pin to login to the primary account, it shows that the PIN is incorrect. If you try to login to the 2nd account using its own PIN, you're able to login. My question is, is it possible to change the PIN of the owner account from another location without remotely accessing the device with/without logging in to the account.microsoft.com site? Both profiles are connected to separate MS accounts too.TIAJoe13 B- 2.0

What you originally posted below was from a jump list instead of Quick access that you just now posted above. Did you unpin the folder from within Quick access instead of a jump list? *Confused
