Hello

During wind11 pro installation I used my email account.

I wasn't asked to set password to my machine - only windows "Hello" pin.
But when trying to access this machine by remote desktop - it turns out that password is a must, "Hello" is not supported. Same for accessing a shared folder in the network.

I tried to setup a password but i get the following msg : "Ask your admin to review the license and turn on this feature."
There is NO admin , I just used my domain name to have an organization email and I used this email during wind setup

Pleas advice , how can I setup a password to my machine ?

    Hello,

    Please go to Settings > Accounts > Sign-in options > and then turn the option to use only Windows Hello sign-in methods off and then try to set a password.

    Hope this helps.
