Okay so, I'll just try some stuff which might work You can try running lusrmgr.msc in Run and create a new user account From there you can access settings

Can you boot it into safe mode? Okay wait, never mind. What you can do is, install a Windows OS in another USB or DVD, plug it in and change the boot sequence when you start it

I think you'll need to obtain one. I'm not sure about any other method through which we can address it (others here might know). When the OS installs, you can choose to repair your computer on the setup wizard screen iirc

Alrighty, if this is the school's laptop, you need to return it to them and have them do any fixes. We don't help with anything like this because it can easily be us helping someone get around blocks in place or otherwise reset their school's PC, which I can guarantee you are NOT allowed to do. @Zagreus Hades if someone mentions "school pc" and anything like this, don't be helping them in here
