Windows 10: how to set up pin which is no longer valid due to security reasons after motherboard...

The motherboard on my Lenovo thinkpad failed. This was replaced by Lenovo. Now I cannot log into my computer - it requires a new pin to be set up due to security changes but fail to do anything after logging into windows account.

Your PIN is no longer due to a change change to security settings

I cannot login using my PIN anymore: "Your PIN is no longer due to a change change to security settings"

 

PIN no longer available due to the security settings on this device

My laptop forced an update two nights ago and now I can't get into my computer. "My PIN is no longer available due to a change to the security settings on this device." I can only reset the PIN by getting into my account, but I can't get in, as my password is incorrect and I can't reset it. So far I've tried:

• Booting my laptop to a USB with a Microsoft media creation tool in an attempt to wipe it and start again. But I always end up back at the same home screen that won't let me in.
  
• Resetting my Microsoft password on my phone. Computer says the new password is incorrect, so same problem.
  
• Rebooting in Safe Mode. Nothing changes.
  
• Trying every setting in the UEFI. Causing more problems than it fixes.
  
• Every fix I can find online, both through basic google search and on this website.
  

At this point I'm close to tears and just want to take a hammer to this stupid thing. I can't call anyone at Microsoft support because your phone directs me here. None of your previously suggested fixes work. I just want a way to wipe it and start again. Please help.
