  1. Accidentally 'Locked' my own Dell Laptop


    That's it. I accidentally clicked to lock my own laptop via MS account, thinking it was someone else's laptop.So, there is no unlock button.When I try to put my pin on that laptop, it says that the administrator has to login first. I tried to remove that laptop from MS account, then to register it again. With my laptop series number, it says it doesn't find it.I cannot understand how is it possible that there is a button to lock a device, via Microsoft account, without an unlock button, or a clear message stating that once you did it, there's no way back.I even tried to restore my laptop via B

    :)

    Why Microsoft locked out my new Laptop?


    Certain Dell laptops intended for the business market have a BIOS security lock that can sometimes accidentally activate. If this is the case then you will need to contact Dell directly with the Device ID of the Laptop, and proof of purchase, as the password is automatically generated by the laptop is unique to the device, and the software to unlock the password is only available to Dell staff.

    If it is a password after windows has started this should be listed in the documentation with the laptop, If not, you will need to contact the vendor
