Windows 10: Unable to start system....PIN in unavailable

I have a window surface laptop. I usually log in with face ID. That would not work this morning so the computer said to use my pin. When I tried I get a message that says "something happened and your pin isn't available. Click to setup your pin again. If I click "setup my pin" nothing happens. If I click "sign in options" I see a smiley that gives an error that the camera could not be turned on and a box with 10 dots that does nothing. After a few minutes I sometimes get another errorExplorer.exe system error - the system detected an overrun of a stack based buffer in this application.
