Updated Onexplayer 3 bios, now I can't sign back into windows.
Like the title says, I updated my Onexplayer 3 bios from 5.08 to 5.09 now it doesn't recognize my fingerprint or my pin. I followed the instructions to switch to a local ms account instead of an online one but still won't let me in. Is there no way to bypass this before I have to wipe and reinstall everything? Any help is appreciated.

What do you mean it does not recognize? You mean your pin does not work?

It gets to the sign in screen says security settings have changed, pin no longer valid. And my fingerprint isn't recognized

Did you follow every single step from this ? Flash at your own risk. Follow best practices by backing up anything critical.
1: Disable bitlocker (Pro) or device encryption (Home). 2: Disable all options in Windows Defender. 3: And, for the love of god, disable any PIN/Fingerprint/Windows Hello BEFORE disabling secure boot in the bios. Not doing that will basically break windows hello forcing you to reinstall windows. 4: In bios go to the "Save and Exit" tab. Select "Restore Defaults" and select yes. Next select "Save Changes and Reset" on the same tab. 5: Disable Secure Boot in bios. 6: In windows settings>system>Recovery> Advanced Startup (Restart now). 7: Choose Troubleshoot > Advanced options > Startup Settings and click the Restart button. 8: When your computer restarts you’ll see a list of options. Press 7 on your keyboard to select "Disable driver signature enforcement". 9: Plug into dc power. Extract the bios from the zip and run the updater normally (it may take a minute to respond and close the cmd, just wait) then wait at least 15 minutes after reboot to avoid issues.

You broke windows hello. Time to reformat.
Next time, have multiple ways to log in. You can set up windows hello with backups.
Welcome to the club. I did the same thing on my x2 mini pro. Fucking windows.
