Finally decided to use a gift card that I've had for a few years... so of course I can't find it.

Asking this here as I'm fairly sure some of you do this sort of stuff for a living and for the life of me I can't find a fix...

spoiler

Windows 11 popped up with this two days ago. Was from a fresh boot and the computer sits unused for days so there had been no multiple log in attempts. My pin won't let me in, and the use other sign in option does not come up as an option. To be honest, I can even think whether there is a password set, might just be the pin. I can log into my kids profile, not using their pin, I get the same message, but with their password backup.

The leave for 2 hours does jack. I still get this screen after multiple attempts trying to do this....

Is there a way I can log into my admin account from my kids account and fix this? Or another way to fix this...?

Ouch. Sorry my solution to this was to change to linux ๐Ÿง

[โ€“] calhoon2005@aussie.zone 4 points 5 days ago

Yeah, I was thinking that too. No real need for windows that I can think of. I used to run Linux and ran into issues every now and then hence changing back....

Hayfever has been really bad lately so I bought a Vicks inhaler. Do I try and stick it all the way up my nostrils cos mine ain't that big and I don't want to burn the entrance? Help please.
