Windows 11 Sign Issues with Challenge Phrase

Hi,

I am trying to sign into my laptop as normal, but it says my password has been entered incorrectly so I have to enter the challenge phrase A1B2C3 and then my password. I know my password is correct but it keeps locking me out saying it is incorrect. I've followed Windows 11 tutorials to fix login issues but none mention the challenge phrase, which seems to be our issue.

    Keep it up Microsoft! You have done a wonderful job on how to make the user frustrated and go crazy. Never expected this feature and before making it live should have tested completely. Because of this sh*t feature I am resetting my PC. Now I need to install all my softwares once again.
