Windows 10: I have locked myself as administrator in Microsoft account in my pc and locked myself I...

But it is asking to sign in by administrator

Locked out of local administrator account

Window Version 1803

My Windows 10 local account has been locked out on a stand-alone offline computer. It is the administrator account and the only account on the PC. I cannot get back in as the account lockout duration was set to "0" - permanently locked until administrator resets.




This PC is deployed as a server for a plant SCADA system. The customer requested for the following settings:
Account lockout duration: 0
Account lockout threshold: 6 login attempts
Reset account lockout counter after : 99999 minutes

After the wrong password was entered 6 times, the account became permanently locked. There is no other account to login with. There are no security questions as this is a business use account.

I have tried changing the system time in the BIOS but the account lockout status persists. T




How can I unlock my admin account?

 

Device locked from Microsoft Account.

Mr. John D.,
Sorry to say that, I've already followed the steps you suggested me and it didn't work.

When I select the administrator account and click the login button, the pc itself reselects the local user account and you know, any local user cannot be logged in on this stage. Now, I'm getting stuck!

Also, I'm thinking to delete my current windows 10 and set up a new windows 10.

Please, tell me, has the microsoft account lock encrypted my other drives on my pc?
