Windows 10: Unable to get past lock screen - wifi is on and connected but still asks for last password...

I am unable to get past the lock screen. I have reset the password which was successful as I have logged in on a different device.I get the error message:Your device is offline. Please sign in with the last password used on this device.I am however connected to my home wifi. My other device is connected to it also and is working fine.I have tried safe mode but as soon as I press 5 from the blue screen options it takes me to the lock screen.I would be ok with full system reset as nothing on there that I can't replace but it wants me to log in to my account to perform any admin actions. Basicall

How to connect to WiFi without using password?

Yes, you can connect to locked WiFi Without password by using the functionality of WPS (WiFi Protected Set Up). Most of the Routers support WPS function. For this trick, you must have physical access to the Router of WiFi network you want to connect to. If you are on Windows or Android device, then you are lucky, this trick will gonna work for you. Because Apple Ecosystem doesn’t support the WPS function.

You can do this in simple steps:

Step 1: Go to “Settings” in your Smartphone –> “WiFi” –> Go to “More” or “3 Vertical dot icon” and search for “WPS Push Button” option and just Tap on it.

Step 2: Now, Also Tap the “WPS” button on the backside of your Router. Within some seconds these both devices pair up and your device will connect to WiFi network. That’s It!!!

Try it.
