Windows 10: Lock screen log in problem must use forgotten Microsoft account password

To add to my original post since I must have used up the allotment of words for posting a question... I wonder if there is a way to bypass my lock screen so I can get to Start to get to settings so I can get to account user section and deselect needing a password to log in? I have to wait 24 hours perhaps more to hear back from Microsoft to help me get into the account connected to my computer. I guess I might as well give up until I hear from them because hopefully if by changing that accounts password I will be able to log into my own laptop. It isnt like I am not the administrator of my laptop nor are there any other users or accounts that use my laptop, just me. Why must they make something simple like logging into your own one user laptop be so difficult? It's crazy, is there no way for me to bypass the lockscreen so I can change account users and remove needing a password or cant they provide a one time get into your own laptop free one time only option? They cant send a code to a cell phone or another email or both to feel secure allowing me access to my laptop with one user? If I choose from command prompt to uninstall then reinstall Windows will that take away my lock screen and be like starting setup again and wont require a password? I cant even do system restore without the Microsoft account password, unreal. Thanks for any suggestions anyone may have although I think I considered just about all possibilities. With no access to start, pretty much stuck. Win plus X didnt present anything either, lock screen is for real and limited...

• If you've forgotten your Windows password, there are several ways to retrieve or reset it:
  • If your PC is on a domain, your system administrator must reset your password.
  • If you're using a Microsoft account, you can reset your password online. ...
  • If you're using a local account, use your password hint as a reminder.

 

Log in requires password

Since a recent update the PC now requires a password to log in.

I have tried Windows Key - netplwiz and unchecked "users must use password...."

There are no other users shown in the listing.

I use my Windows account as my log in which is also the administrator account.

Also on restart the lock screen shows - pretty picture and no taskbar. I have to press spacebar to release that and then it shows my account and requires a password input.

 

Unable to sign-in to Microsoft account forgotten password

Hi,

Thanks for the Quick response. I will eventually use the suggestions you have given. But for the present I'd like to continue logging into my PC with my PIN. My concern is more with recovering my Widows local user login password, which seems not possible.
However I have a question to ask MS which I personally think as valid: when both a Password and a PIN are equally valid for successfully logging in to Windows local admin account why only the Password is given credence in the matter of resetting of the login
Password or creating a password recovery disc? Will MS please respond? Thank you.
