Windows 10 keeps saying I entered pin wrong too many times Error

Equation · 19 Oct 2023

I've been getting this error for a few days now. Whenever my laptop goes into sleep mode sometimes it restarts randomly, I don't why. When It wakes it says that I tried entering the pin to many times and asks me to put A1B2C3. This also happens when I just restart my laptop.

How to fix?

Can you logon with your password and then reset the pin?

(Ok it's Win 11, but you get the idea- shouldn't be that different)
