I should start this by saying that I am an absolute novice with computers.
A little while ago my husband (with my permission) wanted to log onto my Microsoft account on the laptop which we both use, but he must have made an error with the opening password, not once, but several times. He then used the PIN as an alternative login, which worked fine, but since then I have never been offered the option of logging in with my password and have always been asked for the PIN. I use Windows 10, by the way, and although he is the administrator, I'm the one who uses the laptop most, because he has another large computer..
This may or may not be connected, but sometime later I received two messages on my mobile from Microsoft, the first one giving me a 7 figure number for an account password reset code, the second giving me a 4 figure number for account security. I have no idea how or where to use these numbers, but I would really like to either return to my original password login or create a new one and would welcome advice, expressed in the simplest of terms, of how to do so.
Many thanks.
