I am unable to set-up a new PIN as it asks for a security code to be sent on a number I no longer have. I just updated my number on microsoft accounts and it says will take 30 days before it takes effect. Now I can't even log into my laptop. No option for password login or to change to a local account. Someone HELP!!!

2025-03-07T20:39:15+00:00 I have a problem. Whenever i go to the Command Prompt, my windows ask's me to enter my password to my account. Problem is that i don't have the password. Is there any way to change my password or find out what my password is. Cus it's not the same password as my actual windows account, cus i changed it and it still said "Password is incorrect".
