Bypass lock screen after sleep


The Desktop PC has always booted and awakened directly to the desktop. The month-old laptop has always booted to the desktop but not from SLEEP, just as did a now-sold laptop. Neither laptop nor my Desktop PC has a PW.

The "no password required" options mentioned in tutorials did/do not exist on either laptop (HOME) or Desktop (PRO) machines and various registry hacks had failed to alter the laptops' Lock/Sign-In screens after SLEEP.

Seeing no fix, I gave up...until today, when I reviewed articles. Spontaneously, without making any obvious changes, the laptop began to awaken to the desktop. I shall face east and genuflect. ^_^

Locked myself out of my desktop

Hi

Welcome to Microsoft community.

It appears that you've encountered a situation where your desktop has been locked remotely via the "Find My Device" feature on your Microsoft account. Unfortunately, since this is a security measure implemented by Microsoft to protect your device, resolving this issue might require a bit of effort. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you unlock your desktop:

1. Sign In as Administrator:
   
   • You mentioned that you have a laptop as well. If you're signed in as an administrator on that laptop, you can use it to remotely unlock your desktop.
     
2. Connect to the Internet:
   
   • Make sure both your locked desktop and the laptop you're using to unlock it are connected to the internet.
     
3. Microsoft Account:
   
   • On your laptop, go to account.microsoft.com and sign in with the same Microsoft account that you used on the locked desktop.
     
4. Find My Device:
   
   • Navigate to the "Find My Device" section, similar to what you did to lock the device.
     
5. Unlock Your Desktop:
   
   • From the "Find My Device" settings, you should see your locked desktop listed.
     
   • There should be an option to unlock the device. Follow the instructions to unlock it.
     
6. Reboot the Desktop:
   
   • After unlocking the desktop from the Microsoft account settings, reboot the desktop and try signing in.
     
7. Re-Register the Desktop:
   
   • If you've removed your desktop from your devices list, you might need to re-register it after you regain access. You can do this from your Microsoft account settings.
     

Please feel free to let me know if you have any further updates, thanks.
