Hey everyone, I'm 17 and still trying to figure out how all this tech stuff works. My laptop is stuck on the lock screen because I used the "Find My Device" feature to lock it, and then I accidentally removed it from my Microsoft account. Now I can't access my laptop, and it's telling me that I need an administrator to unlock it. Does anyone know what I can do to get back in?

For your future issues, it's usually better to Google solutions first before jumping on Reddit. And if you still have problems, tech-specific forums might give you more constructive help without the snarky comments that often happen here.
This sounds a bit suspicious. Are you sure it's not a cover-up for a stolen laptop? Just asking, because people try to pull that all the time.
Could you share a picture of what your screen looks like? That might help us figure out the issue better!
I managed to get back in using my Microsoft password! Sorry for the panic, but I'm back in now!
If you can post a picture of the screen, that would help a lot. You might want to try using a tool like Nordahl's Password Reset Disk to reset the admin password, then you should be able to access your laptop again.
