Windows 10: Overnight update changed security settings?

My computer updated overnight last night, and this morning opened to show a Bitlocker pin number requirement screen. I've never even heard of bitlocker before, and wasn't sure why it wouldn't let me past without finding my pin. Afterwards it took me to my home log in page, but tells me that my security settings have been changed and that my pin no longer works, and I have to set a new pin. I can't set a new pin without internet, which I can't access without a User ID that I have no idea what it could be. What happened to my computer and how do I get it back to normal?
