  1. I accidentally locked myself out of my laptop


    I recently got a message on my phone that my microsoft account may be conpromised and when i logged into the website I saw 2 devices logged in.I didn't recgonise one of them so I locked it out and removed it.I actually forgot that my laptop is logged into the same account as my PC, so now the laptop is refusing to let me log in and saying that an administrator locked the device.The problem is that I can't seem to find anyway to unlock the device anywhere on the microsoft website now that I removed the device.Is the issue fixable without new installation media?

    :)

  2. I accidentally locked my Laptop

    I accidentally locked my laptop through find device, when I use my PIN I can’t get into it, and when I use a system reset whilst keeping files it’s still locked, should I use a full system reset with deleting everything? It’s a HP Pavilion

    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
