Automatically login into Windows 11 Pro

I setup my computer a while ago to automatically login into my Windows user account without having to type in the password. I do not remember how I did it and I am not finding the instructions again.
Not sure what happened, but now it is trying to automatically log into my local user account and it says I have the wrong password. I want to change it back but nothing seems to be working. I have tried logging into the local account and go into "Settings\Accounts\Your info" and select the "Sign in with a Windows account instead" but to no success. It still tries logging into the local account.
Any suggestions on how I can get to go back to automatically log in with my Windows account? Any ideas what could have changed it?

When I did a clean install of Windows 11 Education, I could login in automatically to Windows. I changed it to PIN in Windows Hello to create an added layer of security.

- was that originally a MS account, or a local account? (By default, Win 11 insists on you using a MS account when you install it.

I ask as you now mention a local account, suggesting you may have at least 2 user accounts on your PC.

it says I have the wrong password

Hopefully you have the correct password for one of those accounts, in particular an admin account. Irrespective of whether you choose to automatically log in (passwordless) into an account or use Windows Hello, there remain circumstances when you must use your password.
