Windows 10: "This sign-in option is disabled because of failed sign-in attempts or repeated shutdowns"....

I have an older Lenovo laptop from a few years ago that I gave to my family, they forgot the PIN to it and locked themselves out, I have the correct PIN and the password associated with the Microsoft account however I'm unable to login, when booting up I'm met with a challenge phrase since the incorrect login has been put too many times, and I have to enter A1B2C3 and then I can enter the PIN, except no matter what I put the correct, incorrect, or even gibberish into the field I'm met with the error "this sign in option is disabled because of failed sign in attempts or repeated shutdowns, use

"This sign-in option is disabled because of failed sign-in attempts or repeated shutdowns" but why?

"This sign-in option is disabled because of failed sign-in attempts or repeated shutdowns. Use a different sign-in option or keep your device powered on for at least 2 hours and then try again" This message comes up almost everytime laptop is turned on, it hasn't had incorrect pin put in or any failed sign in or repeated shutdowns. The laptop only has pin or fingerprint options to sign in and it won't allow either without waiting 2 hours which is veri impractical. Is there a way to stop this happening?

It's an hp laptop, I think it's windows 11
