Windows 10: user profile service failed the sign-in

Just did a full wipe of my droves and reinstalled Windows. I can't get into BIOS and my only option is to "Setup my PIN" which leads to the message "The User Profile Service service failed the sign-in. User profile cannot be loaded"OR"Sign-in Options" which shows my fingerprint option which prompts "Your PIN is required to sign in" or my pin which just leads back to "Setup my PIN" and results in same message shown above. I've restarted multiple times, held shift while pressing restart, I can't get past this screen so my laptop is basically bricked until I find a solution. Please help

The User Profile Service service failed the sign-in. User profile cannot be loaded.

Hello,

When attempting to login to my computer, I get the following message:

"The User Profile Service service failed the sign-in.

User profile cannot be loaded."

I referred to this Help article,You receive a "The User Profile Service failed the logon” error
message,

but the only difference is I only have one user profile on this computer. So, I can't login with another user to go through the steps listed in this post.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

User Profile Service Service failed! User profile cannot be loaded.

Brink:
I am using registry editor from command prompt. Drilled down to c:windows\system32\config inside the Load Hive dialog window. Have selected (checked box) the SAM file; clicking on Open opens error message that says:


SAM
This file is in use.
Enter a new name or close the file that's open in another program.

I am at a loss, since I am not running any other program!

Any suggestions?

The SAM file is listed as being 64KB file size.
