Windows 10: Unable to unlock my Laptop after remotely locking it

HI, Need help in unlocking / signing in to my laptop. I had remotely locked it through my Microsoft account on another laptop. Now I am not able to login through my fingerprint or PIN. Its says administrator has to login first but there is only one account on the system, and there is no option for creating or accessing it through another account. I tried Forgot PIN option as well but it takes me back to lock screen. I recently upgraded it to Windows 11. Please suggest how I can log into my laptop by any means possible. I do not wish to format the system, which I guess would be the last resort.

:)

 

Remotely locked my windows 10 laptop, now I cant unlock it

I just locked my laptop remotely. Then my laptop unlocked normally with Windows Hello facial recognition. No change of password required.

@glassyjuice,

Looks like the only way you are going to unlock your laptop is to connect it to the internet and enter your correct Microsoft Account username and password which needs to be an administrator account on the laptop.

 

Unlock device after remotely locked

Hi There,

I am wondering what is the step to do to unlock a Surface Book device that I have locked it remotely? Is the other user can still sign in after I lock it remotely?

I have it with my staff right now, but I need to lock it since his contract is over before he could return it to the office.

Oh yeah no I think this is the root problem I am having. I cant seem to get a stable connection to the internet. My ethernet connection seems to last very little before it goes out (The little ⚠️) and I have to restart the laptop. All my computers work fine.

Yeah no the problem im having now is that my laptop is refusing to have a stable connection. It constantly goes out, and gets the ⚠️Label And i have to keep restarting it. I cant seem to make it work even though every other computer on the network works fine.
