Windows 10: Windows 10 stuck on log in screen / Recently reset but no account created

Hi there, I think the title says it all, I recently reset an hybrid laptop my parents had home and once reset is complete, instead of showing the initial setup information for Win10, it jumps straight away to the Windows log in screen.

Unfortunately, there is no account set up and I can't get past it as it requests a login + password.

I already tried resetting the laptop several times but it always comes back to this screen.

Did I just brick this laptop??

Thanks!

Windows 10 Tweaks

As you may already know, Windows 10 (as well as Windows 8) allow you to log in with a valid Microsoft account, instead of creating a local account that only works on your machine. However, you may prefer to keep a local account for privacy reasons. If you do, though, some Windows 10 features—like Cortana—may not work. Despite the default behavior, the Windows 10 Store is not one of them. You can still log in to your Microsoft account for just the Store without switching to a full Microsoft account. The process, however, is not terribly obvious. To do so, follow these steps:

• Launch the Store from your Start menu.
• Click the user icon next to the search box.
• Click “Sign-in” from the menu that appears.
• Choose “Microsoft account” and log in like normal.
• When the “Make it yours” box appears do not enter your password. Instead, click “Sign in to just this app instead.”

Stuck at log in screen. No accounts.


I have Windows 10 & it just asked to update so I allowed it. Now when my computer restarts, everything seems to work fine, until I get to the sign in screen where it says "please wait" and I get an infinite loading screen.




The only thing that works is ctrl+ alt + delete and it gives me this.


Still no accounts to sign into.

I've tried holding shift + restart but it doesn't seem to do anything. Shift + F8 also does nothing during startup.

I didnt have to create a account. When that part of the install pops up just click create new account and on the new screen at the bottom it says sign in without a MS account. This allows you to create a local user.
