Windows 10 sign in problem

(1/1)

Clive:
When I attempted to sign into Windows 10 on my PC Specialist laptop, the password box had changed to PIN and would only type numbers.  When I typed the numbers without the letters another small screen appeared suggesting other options, one of which was to sign in with my Microsoft password which didn't work.  But when I put my Windows password in, all was well.  If I go into settings, sign in options it appears I can change sign in back to what I had before.  Are there any pitfalls in doing this?

Clive:
I wonder if I can add a pin as well? 

Simon:
Something must have been reset to default.  If it's only you using the machine I'd say you can use whichever method you like!

Simon:
Is that the machine that recently went in for repair?

Clive:
Yes it is but it's been working perfectly since.  I wouldn't throw more money after it cost £85 last time it refused to boot up.
