Windows 10: Need administrator to unlock

Due to potential fraud, I removed my desktop from My Devices in my account as I was away from home.

Later, when I got home and tried to log in, it presented my user the only account, an admin account and prompt for my PIN.

It won't accept my PIN, saying my account needs to be unlocked by an administrator. However, it ONLY gives me a PIN option, and no other sign in option at all, and no way to change the user.

How can I log in using my username and password to try to rectify this?

I have tried all options in the Recovery start up menu, but they just take me back to the PIN prompt. I have found no way of logging in.

I'm locked out of my computer. Any suggestions welcome please.

:)

Settings can't be opened using the built-in administrator account


Hello,
Unfortunately I have the same issue as Dabz from upgrading win7 to win10.
I've tried opening settings using all the suggested methods and it will not load using my account with Administrator access nor the built-in Administrator profile. I also tried other methods not listed such as using Run. Control panel is just a stepping stone to add users in Settings.
I'm also having explorer.exe issues, which I believe is preventing Settings from loading.
Using cmd (Admin) I successfully created a new user profile [and granted admin access also using cmd (Admin)], however win10 will not allow this account to log on. win10 does not list this new user within control panel but it does in the start menu. win10 will not allow to log in or switch to the new account via the start menu either.
I can access settings in Safe Mode but this will not allow me to create a new account.
Any help/suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Cheers

If it is not listed in the Control Panel, or it can't be removed there, move on to step 2. HitmanPro might not be needed.
