Windows 10: Can't connect to Microsoft account after motherboard replacement. Keyboard not working.

Hello,Long story short: I had a problem with the backlight on my Asus TUF laptop, so they replaced the motherboard to fix the problem. All good until I tried to start my laptop and log in into my Microsoft account. It says "Your PIN is no longer available due to a change to the security settings on this device. Click to set up PIN again". After I press that button a window pops-up where I have to enter the password of my personal account. And here is the problem: My keyboard is not working.. but only in this window. I tried to connect to the WIFI and the keyboard worked. I also tried different

Local account to Microsoft account: Swap motherboard & keep win 10?

It looks like you defininately need to link a microsoft account with windows 10 or it says go to the next section (if u didn't) and the next section explains how to purchase a new licence:
"

• Select I changed hardware on this device recently, then select Next.
  
• Enter your connected Microsoft account and password, then select Sign in. The troubleshooter will only work with the connected Microsoft account.
  
• From the list of devices that are linked to your Microsoft account, select the check box next to This is the device I’m using right now.
  
• Select Activate.

If you don’t see the device you’re using in the list of results, make sure that you signed in using the same Microsoft account you associated with the Windows 10 digital license on your device.
If you continue to experience errors while activating, see Get help with Windows activation errors and locate the error you're getting.
If you didn’t link your Microsoft account to the digital license before the hardware change AND you used a product key to upgrade to Windows 10, then continue to next section."
