Windows 10: Pressed Win + L, Pin disappeared, cant set it up. Also cant sign into my microsoft account...

I mistakingly pressed Win + L instead of Win + I. It removed my pin, and now when I try to set it, it says it doesn't work. I tried signing in back onto my windows account, but it is forcing me in my other accounts. And when it looks like I signed in, pressuring my profile puts me back on the wrong one. And it says we are having trouble signing you out when I try to leave it.

PIN sign in for Microsoft Account

I am using the Microsoft account page under family members. In this section where it shows my Grand Daughters Account details there is no option to have a Pin Code, However on my page, as Administrator, I can create a Pin.
