Windows 10: Must reset PIN to log in, PIN reset requires internet connection which I am without, but I...

I can't reset my pin without internet connection, but I can use my password to navigate the system commands.I have tried booting it in safe mode, I have tried unlocking the hidden administrator account, I have reset my PC twice, none of the standard solutions work, it only sends me back to the reset PIN prompt. But again, it recognizes my actual password fine, I just can't seem to use it to log in; it only wants me to reset my pin, which I can only do if I have internet, which I currently do not.Two questions: 1. what can I do to log in to my computer offline with my password instead of my pin

Pin Reset

You can't reset a PIN from AD just a password.

So if the user forgets their PIN they would have to login with their AD password.

Then they would be able to reset their pin from their account settings once logged in again.

 

Reset win10 login pin

Is it possible to reset the windows 10 login pin if you've forgotten what it was?

I managed to get it changed (after *much* trial and error), but it appears to require the old pin to change the pin -- even if you know the password. That's just weird. You should be able to reset the pin at any time if you have the full password.
