Windows 10 recovery mode no admin password

Hello i hope someone can help me out. Run into some trouble/ error when tried to transfer music from o my phone. PC upon restarting did not respond. When it went to the recovery mode anything I try to access asks for Admin Password. I am the only account on this PC and my password was a number PIN code which does not work when prompted to enter administrator password. I tried the command prompt but could not go any further because again asked me for administrator password. Is there any work around this ? Windows 10 was not linked to my Microsoft Account and I don't get why the PIN which I set at the beginning does not allow me to access as Administrator if I'm the only user. Help please !

Hi @AgnieszkaKlak-1475 ,

which version/build of Windows 10 are you running?
Login with PIN in Windows safe mode is introduced with Windows 10 20H1 (if I remember right).

In Windows 10 you started always with a password before you can set a PIN. Do you remember this "start" password?
