Windows 10: "Something happened and your PIN isn't available. Click to set up your PIN again."...

Turned on my computer, been less than 12 hours since I last used it, now it says "Something happened and your PIN isn't available. Click to set up your PIN again." I click on "Set up new PIN" and nothing happens. All google searches tell me to click on "Sign-in Options" which are nowhere to be found on my screen. I have "Ease of access" and "Power Options." The only other solutions I'm finding involve entering safe mode and messing with Registry, which I am capable of doing, but every single post recommends something different. So I'd rather get official help here if I have to go that r

Problem login in with windows 10 PIN

My computer went with no battery and turned off.

After that I couldn´t login any more.

It says "Somtehing happened and your PIN isn´t available. Click to set up PIN again"

Below that there a Set up my PIN but it is doing nothing when I click on it.

There is no way I can acces to the safe mode either.

I´m using a dell laptop Inspiron 13. 7000 series. Windows 10.

If someone has an answer to that would be very helpful.

Thank you!
