Hi everyone 🙂
I need use password to encrypt my laptop but I don't have options to write password only PIN. My TPM in BIOS is ver.2.0.
BIOS:
Seciurity Configuration
enable Psyhical Presence Interface
TPM Specyfication Verison 2.0
TPM Device Available
Enable TPM State
Clear TPM NO
TPM Activation Policy F1 to Boot
BOOT OPTIONS :
Windows Boot Manager
DVD:
USB:
Seciure Boot Configuration
Configure Leegacy Support and Secure Boot = Legancy Support Disable and Secure Boot Enable
Enable MS UEFI CA key
Ready BIOS for Device Guard Use = Do Nothing
Solved! Go to Solution.

I believe TPM only accepts PIN. Normally password is stored on your drive and PIN is stored in TPM therefore PIN is much better than password in this Bitlocker.
Regards.

PIN in the context of BitLocker is actually TPM + PIN: the encryption key is stored securely in the TPM and is protected by a PIN. If you enter too many incorrect PINs, the TPM will lockout: there is a hardware enforced time delay on further attempts.
BitLocker is just one element of properly securing a Windows system - though it is an important one.
