this is a long problem so bear with me after updating bios and booting into windows i try logging in using my pin but get an error about having to use my password even though i never set one up and trying to reset it does nothing i tried a couple solutions to no avail then i tried hirons cdboot using the tools in it i changed my account to local and everything was fine until but when i tried a couple of things it still registers my account as a microsoft account but i can use any of the features of a microsoft account and trying to play minecraft i keep getting a certain error and i tried creating a new account and logging in with a diffrent microsoft account but it asks for a windows password even though none are setup

- After updating BIOS and booting into Windows, you can't log in with your PIN.
- You get an error prompting for a password, even though you never set one up.
- Attempts to reset the password haven't worked.
- Using Hirons CDBoot tools, you switched your account to a local account, which initially resolved some issues.
- Despite switching, your account still seems to be registered as a Microsoft account.
- You’re unable to use features that require a Microsoft account, and trying to play Minecraft gives an error.
- Creating a new account and logging in with a different Microsoft account still prompts for a Windows password, even though none are set.
