If TPM was reset and you are signed into Windows with a Microsoft account and have a pin set, you will need to reset that pin, if following the steps to reset the pin on the sign in screen isn't working there should be another option to use the password instead, enter your password for your Microsoft account and once in Windows you should be able to reset the pin. If you forgot your password you can change it on Microsoft.com and try it on the computer again. If that doesn't work you will need to us a password removal tool to remove the password from the computer entirely, they can be pretty expensive and you will need another computer and a flashdrive to create it.

The Problem is the pc isnt even allowing me to enter the Pin it just says „set Pin“ Over and over again 

 Translated that means that security settings changed and the pin isnt available and trying to set a nee one doesnt work

You can try clearing CMOS and trying again, otherwise it looks like you bugged it out. The password will need to be completely removed with a tool or you will need to reinstall Windows.

There should be another password you've set or have for Windows. I'm pretty sure you can't create a "pin" without having a normal password made. This would be a Microsoft password or local account password you made.

 

I cleared my tpm recently when dual booting with linux and had to login using my original account password I just happened to remember. The "pin" and alternative login methods don't work (or anything part of the Windows "Hello" thing).
