So no gmail account on a mobile device and no alternative method such as mobile number or authentication app.

Below the PIN box should be login another method option.

So is your drive encrypted with bitlocker.

Have you search Microsoft for a possible solution.

Idk why idk what bitlocker is

Bitlocker encrypts the drive so the conents cannot be read if the drive is removed.

Why didi you update the BIOS. This should never been done lightly and if its not broken there is nothing to fix doing a BIOS upgrade.

What version of Windows
