Windows 10: On startup, I get a new screen I've never seen before: "Security Check. Enter System Password"

I can't get past this

:)

 

Is it possible not to enter the password/PIN at Window startups?

You may have missed a step. After the un-check, click apply, then the next screen will ask for the Pasword twice. Enter and OK. Then OK again. That should do it.
