Windows 11 administrator problem
I have a zenbook which has a local account registered with Entra in the tenant, I need to setup a local administrator account.
the device has been deleted in the tenant, i have tried to activate the administrator account and although it says it is, it doesn't appear to work.
I have also tried to reload windows 11 but the drive is protected with bitlocker which i can't disable without an administrator account.
Any suggestions will be appreciated
