I would say that you don't. This is hacker stuff.

Either you are the owner of the computer and you just have to deactivate the feature (Windows setting).
Either you are not the owner and the feature was activated for security reasons. What you want is to get around this security feature, it is hacker stuff.

Solution 1

You have to create windows service for this and use windows credential in your code.

Solution 3

You cannot unlock the workstation from code. Allowing such would be a security risk.

The best you can do is implement the ICredentialProvider[^] interface. This allows you to provide your own credential interface and authentication code but you get no ability to unlock Windows at all.
