my laptop is bricked for 30 days because my old email got deleted.
i changed my secondary email today because my old one was deleted due it it being for an organisation that i am no longer a part of. i open my laptop and it gives me an error saying that i have to reset my pin??? which would be fine if i didnt have to access my microsoft account security info to do that which is now locked for 30 days due to the secondary email change. after slamming my head into a wall i decide that my work is probably online somewhere and go ahead and attempt to factory reset my device. it asks me for a bitlocker encryption code, which i cannot access FOR 30 DAYS BECAUSE I CHANGED MY SECONDARY EMAIL, MY LAPTOP IS A PAPERWEIGHT FOR THE NEXT 30 DAYS. next week i have exams, they are primarily online and i do not have the money to buy a new laptop. im so fed up with microsoft they really just turned my laptop into useless scrap
Edit: i ended up doing a data wipe in the dell bios and am now installing linux as i should have earlier haha
