IIRC you can set a PIN without fiddling with security settings or GPOs, but if you want to use a password instead of a PIN, then you've got to jump through some hoops to enable that. It always struck me as a very, very strange design choice - why make it so difficult?!

This enables tpm + pin and / or password unlock. But only numeric pins. If you want alphanumeric, or "enhanced", pins, you have to enable a separate GPO in the same place: allow enhanced pins for startup. > If you disable or do not configure this policy setting, enhanced PINs will not be used.
