How do I prevent being locked out of logging into my W11 computer when I am off-line?

Today, for the first time, I could not log in to my off-line W11 Dell XPS15 computer. My PIN was rejected; no alternative could work, as only a numerical PIN in acceptable.

 

After much querying of Bing, which was virtually useless (suggesting rebooting and such like, when, as I was locked out, I could not), I realised there was a WiFi logo on the bottom from which I could turn my WiFi on - and logon.

 

However, what happens if I am travelling with no WiFi or my WiFi is down?

 

Anyone know a way of preventing being locked out again please?
