Windows 10: Windows will not allow login w/o internet

My internet stopped working last night, and it will be a while before AT&T can come out to troubleshoot. Not a big deal, because I don't need it for work...I tried to log in to my PC this morning to work, but Windows 10 says: "You'll need internet for this. It doesn't look like you are connected to the internet, check your connection and try again."I have to work; how do I get past this, and make sure it does not happen again?

deleting administrator account w/o having password

When it asks non-admin accounts for an admin password to authorise something, it routinely suggests the last admin account used. If you click on More choices, you will see a list of admin accounts and you can just select the one you now have access to. The next time the dialog appears it will suggest that as the admin account to use to give permission to proceed.



Once you have done this and seen it all working, you can either delete her old account [after having checked her user folders to make sure there is nothing there you need] or, assuming it is a local account not an MSAccount, just reset her password then put on a new one** so that the account is available as a spare admin.

** Which you should write down.

W/o program, how to Windows 10 Search Fast (minutes not hours)

W/o program, how to deal with Windows 10 Search ¹ Slow ² AQS doc obsolete w/o notice ³ cmd output to file but not as powerful?

With CMD output to file, I can sometimes but not often, tolerate cmd-Search during off-work but more importantly, CMD is missing:
1. ez support for Unicode
2. file properties such as comments

Following is what I found Windows 10 Search need improvement:

1. AQS parameter names can be replaced w/o Microsoft notice
2. Absence of output to Text file capabilty of CMD
3. Poor support for scripting
4. Combination of Search Terms limited
5. 
   My company PC is 3 year old DELL laptop (16GB Ram, 400GB SSD). Windows 10 File Search is slow (often hours).
