How to Unlock a Device Locked Using Find my Device in the Microsoft Account

Why these steps are not working . I awaiting for your reply. Thanks.

After entering the 1234 password to load hive, an error message popped up stating " cannot load (location): process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.

What's the next step?

Not a software engineer, just a frustrated fellow with too much time on his hands...

1 & 2: Window beside file directory is how I describe the area to the right of the folders you were navigating through. Just the area where files contained within the folder appear, I just can't think of another way to describe it. Open to suggestions. DevicePassword... was an oversight on my part, same thing.

3 & 4: Nothing needed post fix. That value will change depending on the method you've picked to sign into the computer, whether password or pin. Setting it to 0 forces the computer to use microsoft login.

I'm not sure, my apologies. Maybe I should preface the solution with it working on Windows 11. Looks like you are using an older version, 7 perhaps? I wouldn't expect that to make or break the solution, but I'm also not an expert.

Just following up in case anyone encounters the issue again, I was unable to login to my computer after accidentally locking my own desktop as I thought I was locking a suspicious device, I canceled the locking process (thought i did) but a day after I did so the computer was locked with the message I wrote when locking it, when logging in it said, administrator access is required to log in, but I am the administrator of my computer, I changed the sign in option to password instead of my 4 digit pin and it worked and let me in, I had to reset my pin afterwards for it to work again but it did work and I didn't have to reinstall, you need to use your windows password not windows hello/pin
