Hello

I wonder if someone there can help.

After recently purchasing a new Dell Laptop I have noticed that when clicking on the start button and 'l' to lock the screen if I am away from my desk that the only way to access the computer again is to enter my pin code rather than a password.

I prefer a password, but when I go into settings / accounts and sign-in options there does not seem to be a choice to change it from a pin code to a password. Is this correct now for new laptops/pcs?

I've searched online and it advises it should be in the list.

Thank you for any help.

Kind regards
Angela
 
Hi,
Thank-you very much for your reply, I will give that a go.
I'm not there with the new tech just yet and only used to passwords! I have seen all of the various ways of securing the laptop though and wonder now what one is the most used and recommended? Not sure about face recognition, and didn't want another pin to forget or get mixed up!
Thank-you,
Angela
