    Did you already create a Windows 10 installation USB using the tutorials above?

    If so, or when you do, you should be able to do OPTION FOUR as posted below to enable the built-in Administrator account at boot, then sign in to that account to fix your account. *Smile

    only 3 options show up when I boot from flash drive (no "use a device" option). I'm pretty sure I followed how to make a usb windows 10 iso
    not sure what to do now.

    Did you see if OPTION TWO may work to boot the USB from instead?

    What model number is your PC? I'll see if I may be able to look up what key to press for the boot menu.

    It appears that you need to press the Esc key at boot for the boot menu.

    F2 for BIOS. See page 74 in manual for more detail to help. *Smile
