    So like it says. It was the only active account and I locked it thinking it was something else due to the GPS location not being directly on me. Anyways it's the only account I have. I've logged into command prompt and activated the default admin account but I have nonoption to switch login on the login screen. I'm using windows 10 home. It just asks for my pin and says an administrator has restricted access. I can login to my account online and into my command prompt or safe mode but can't figure out how to get past this pin screen.

    :)

    Device Lock feature in TouchFlo 3D

    Hello,

    I have HTC touch diamond (WM 6.1). I like the touchflo 3d feature but it doesnt give you the option to lock the screen. (i dont want to lock it by pressing hard key). My question is:

    1. Is there a way to add 'Device lock' feature on TouchFlo 3D??

    2. With TF3D DISABLED, I can get it .. but the today screen then doesnt have much options there... So as an alternative.. if i disable TF3D, can i add more shortcuts on today screen??

    I'm skeptic about installing any 3rd party utility... they usually create a lot of mess in windows...

    Looking for suggestions..

    thanks

    Locked out of Win 10 account

    Steve, All you need is a Windows 10 installation USB in order to use the procedure given in post #2. If you do not have one of them then you will need to take your computer to somebody who does. The procedure does not entail any use of the MSAccount reset / old mobile number / email reset. Denis
