Windows 10: I misplaced my Windows laptop, locked it while searching for it, and now my login screen...

Hello... I recently misplaced my Windows laptop and to be safe while searching for it, I went into my Microsoft account and locked the device. Well shortly after doing so I found the computer, and the device is locked, as it should be. I have two users on the device, from what I think I know lol, one account is the administrator and one is a local account. Not completely 100% about that though.Anyhow, when I attempt to login as I normally would I get this message:AN ADMINISTRATOR HAS RESTRICTED SIGN IN. TO SIGN IN, MAKE SURE YOUR DEVICE IS CONNECTED TO THE INTERNET, AND HAVE YOUR AD

:)

 

Lock vs Login screen screenshot

You can use your own image of any background and just go to settings/personalize/lock screen and click on browse as in the image below. It should make whatever picture you use as the Lock Screen

 

Lock vs Login screen screenshot

Hi Josey -

Thanks for the quick reply. While your suggestion does change the sign in process, it doesn't address the differing screenshot question. Following the steps doesn't make the login screenshot the same as the Lock screenshot. As I mentioned, I can't even find the screenshots being used for both screens.

Still looking a solution to this. Open to any other suggestions you might have to the problem. Thanks!

 

No login prompt at login screen

Check Way 3: Lock computer in Screen Saver Settings.
Step 1: Type lock computer in the search box on taskbar and choose Lock the computer when I leave it alone for a period of time.
Step 2: In the Screen Saver Settings dialog, choose On resume, display logon screen and hit OK.
Is “On resume, display log on screen” checked?
