When resetting Windows 10, get a message "Your PIN is no longer available...", whether TPM is cleared or not.

When resetting Windows 10, get a message "Your PIN is no longer available...", whether TPM is cleared or not. I'm stuck trying to reset Win10 (and delete all files).

Steps followed were: 1) started Win10 reset. 2) at 8% complete, got message asking whether to clear TPM. ( I've tried it both ways and gotten same PIN problem).

3) Get a message: "Your PIN is no longer available due to change in security settings on this device." When I click on change PIN, get a message: "The User Profile Service service failed the sign-in. User profile cannot be loaded."

Any suggestions to complete a reset and disk clean are appreciated.
