If it's asking for pin or password then the account you are running as is not a member of the administrators group. You'd need to enter an administrator username and (password or pin)

It's asking for your pin, not password. If you want to use your outlook.com account password select 'More choices'

actually this screenshot is taken from a YouTube video. From what I've researched it is askiing for administrator pin / password. But I don't know where to find this or what the actual password is.

Hah. There used to be a way to mark threads as solved or "best answer" but nobody really used it. :)
