Bypassing being FORCED to login with PIN...(which I do not have) [closed]

I cannot readily separate the problems from the rant.

Your login: You would have set up an account - likely a Microsoft Account and less likely local, especially because the machine has a fingerprint reader.

Whichever you set up, there would be a user name and password. You cannot set up Fingerprint reader without user name and password. You can leave PIN out but should not.

Now when you get the login screen requesting PIN, see the line of option icons below that. Click on the password icon and log in with username and password.

I often use the options icon for user name and password. That bypasses PIN. Works fine.

Then if you have a Microsoft Account, you can login to Microsoft Live and see your account. You can use your password to access that.

Can you wipe out the machine and install Linux? Yes, you can do that. You should be sure to use Ubuntu or Fedora which are compatible with UEFI and Secure Boot which I am sure you have. I recommend Ubuntu as a good stable choice.

Before you do that, check Windows Setup Recovery options and you should be able to make a recovery USB Key in case you or someone else wishes to return to Windows.

I believe I have answered you questions. Ranting does not help. I have Windows 10 here, Fingerprint reader, PIN, Microsoft Account, Ubuntu 20.04 and Kali 2021.3 where I am working now.

Good luck with setting up.
