Windows 10: PIN & Challenge Phrase.

I need some help. The PIN on my business laptop was typed in incorrectly multiple times and now I’m locked out of my laptop and it’s asking me for a Challenge Phrase, I don’t even remember setting up a challenge phrase! I’m now completely locked out my business laptop and am losing custom, everything I need is on this laptop as I didnt get chance to transfer the data onto my backup pen. Is there anyway of finding out the challenge phrase or bypassing it completely so i can get back onto my laptop?

Hi and thanks for reaching out. My name is Anthony.

I'm Independent Advisor and I'm happy to assist you.

I came across to your post and wanted to assist.I hope we can work together to find a solution for you.

First, "Challenge Phrase" is a new approach taken by Microsoft to thwarting brute force attacks or cyber trespassers. This attack involves a simple process of trying all common or likely PIN codes over and over until the correct code is finally discovered.
When a PIN gets entered incorrectly four times in a row, users are sent to a different screen where they are requires to enter a specific phrase.

May I know what are you trying to do before the challenge phrase prompted?

And what do you mean by nothing happens? Did this mean you where directed to another windows?

Kindly give further details so I can suggest or give you a step by step procedure to fix this.

Thank you and Keep Safe.
