    Hello, I am working on security hardening on a window and forgot my password. The reference account is being locked now and I cant login to my admin account too. The account being locked is a Microsoft account and the bit locker recovery key is inside the
    locked account.

    Bit locker is done on C drive, and the reset account lockout counter after is set to 99999 minutes.

    Any suggestion or idea how to solve this?

    Thank You.
