How do you switch users from lock screen when using picture passwords? Doesn’t seem possible, I have clicked on every single onscreen object and can’t. End up having to log in and switch users from start menu.

Using Microsoft ID at Win10Pro, 64b. One day the PIN option at login vanished!!! I had tried to create a new one, no exit. I had re-installed Windows keeping my data and software, and it had shown for the first 2 logins, and then is out again. The only explanation is that I had used Advanced System Care 10 to clean my register before the pin missed. MIcrosoft support says that the only way is to do a clean Windows install…. Someone has a better idea????
Why windows user are being compelled to use PIN when i don’t want to? While removing pin windows 10 again asking to setup pin. Why should i setup pin when i don’t want to? compelling consumer like Yahoo! will seriously destroy windows.

I would love to sign in only once in – say, a – two or 3 hour span. As it is I have to use my pin every ten minutes. I wonder – is there a way around this?

You should use this built-in feature of Windows 10 to reset it, not third-party tools: http://www.digitalcitizen.life/how-reset-windows-10-its-factory-defaults-and-keep-your-files
Thanks for the info. It helped solve a (sometimes) annoying issue….
May we please have a tutorial on the ‘how to’ of changing our log in / sign on password?
You have one, here: How to change your user account password in Windows 10.

I’m afraid not.
