    Unknown devices on my Microsoft account

    Hello Flemmingk, Device unlock issues after disconnect Microsoft account from that device :)

    Could these other devices be from friends that you may have signed in to your Microsoft account on for something?

    Either way, you can remove these devices.

    Afterwards to be safe, I would recommend to change the password of your Microsoft account, and enable two-step verification if you haven't already.

    Hi Md, I'm John D, and I am an independent advisor.

    I'm sorry to hear about the issue you're experiencing with your Windows 10 device. To help you safely log in to your administrator account and avoid any potential data loss, I would suggest trying the following steps:

    > Restart your device and boot into Safe Mode by pressing F8 or Shift + F8 during the startup process. This will start your device with a minimal set of drivers and services, allowing you to access your administrator account.

    > Once you have accessed your administrator account in Safe Mode, you can then try to unlock your device from your Microsoft account. To do this, go to the Settings app > Accounts > Your Info > Sign in with a Microsoft account instead. You should then be prompted to enter your Microsoft account credentials and unlock your device.

    > If the above steps do not work, you may need to consider using a password reset disk or performing a system restore.

    Here's a link that may be helpful in guiding you through these steps: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/account-bil...

    If you're unsure about any of the steps I've suggested or if you need further assistance, please do not hesitate to reach out to me.

    Kind regards,

    John D.
