Windows 10: My laptop is locked. Not able to sign in and even internet also not connecting to it

My laptop is locked. It is asking for password but i don't remember the exact password. I am clicking on forgot password but it is again redirecting to same screen to put password. And I can see wifi icon or internet connection also not showing on lock screen.

Cannot sign into laptop without having an internet connection

After recently updating laptop, I can no longer sign in unless I have an internet connection.

I have tried to reset the PIN and the Password to no avail.

Will be going on holiday soon and would like to be able to use my laptop without having an internet connection.

Thanks in advance for any help and/or suggestions!

 

USB Tethering - 'No (internet) Connection' but still able to connect partially?

I'm having the issue where I tether my phone's internet access to my laptop via USB and the icon in the taskbar shows that little yellow triangle - indicating there is no connection.

So far,

1. When I try adding a language in Settings it says that 'You're currently offline'.
2. When I try to sign in to Microsoft Store after logging out, I get 'It doesn't look like you're connected to the internet. Check your connection and try again' and error code 0x800704cf.

Thing is, I'm able to connect to the internet fine on my phone (browsing, accessing website, etc.). What baffles me even further is that I'm also able to do so on my laptop. It's just the Windows services that aren't really connecting from what I've noticed.

To summarise,

• Yellow triangle is present - indicating no connection
• Phone is able to connect to the internet perfectly fine
• Laptop is able to access the internet, but Windows services aren't
