Creating a PIN after Bitlocker is already activated

Vista's help system says "You can only create a startup key or PIN when you
turn on BitLocker for the first time. " So now that I've already turned on
bitlocker without a PIN, how do I create a PIN? Do I have to decrypt and
re-encrypt the drive?

Google is your friend. Try "create pin for bitlocker site:microsoft.com"
(minus the quotes).
