    Hello, thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A.

    1. How do you usually sign in? Do you use your PIN or fingerprint instead?

    If only your password is displayed and you no longer remember it, can you reset it from the sign-in screen itself?

    (An example screenshot for your reference)

    Select the 'Reset Password' or 'I forgot my Password' Option on the sign-in screen and follow the prompts to reset it.

    If you still need help, let me know.
