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

I used to open my laptop with my fingerprint but I had some other options - like pin and password. I decided to change my pin because I forgot the old one and so I did. When I tried opening my laptop next time it said "Something happened and your pin isn't available. Click to set up your pin again." and I could use my finger print or password to login. Plus, this setting up pin option isn't working at all when I click on it nothing happens. I am stuck I have university documents, designs, videos, and artworks saved on my laptop I can not just reset it. I have tried a lot of different

:)

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!
