Hey !
I went to sleep yesterday without any problems with my PC working and I woke up this morning and restarted it and now I cannot log into my account. My lock screen requires my Microsoft account password which I reset already couple of times and I am able to login everywhere on my phone with its other on my Windows 11 lock screen. Lots of tools I found exist but they seemed to reset passwords of local accounts. I'm not really sure how to get inside this PC since it's locked out and linked with Microsoft account which doesn't even accept my password which is working everywhere. Not even going to "I forgot my password" helps because I cannot even type the code from authenticator and I cannot type phone number because my keyboard is not answering any numbers and virtual keyboard is not entering numbers either.
What should I do in this case and is there some way to maybe remove lock screen or password requirements over registry or maybe command prompt? I have Windows 11 bootable USB.
It is so strange to me to be honest that I'm able to login every we're using my Microsoft account but my lock screen doesn't accept that password even though its linked to Microsoft account.
Thank you for reading!
