Good luck waiting!
Had that kind of issue with a client/neighbor of mine. Couldn't log into OneDrive as she didn't know the password to her Microsoft Live account. Didn't even know she had one, as her daughter set up the laptop a couple of years ago, didn't take note of it and doesn't remember.
Went through all those trials and tribulations for two days, including trying to prove that she was really the person she said to be. After two weeks she gets an email from Microsoft that they can verify her identity and thus can't reset the password...
That's why I always set up new computers with a local password, or use a dummy email account account and immediately uninstall OneDrive once I get to the desktop (and set up a local user next, and/or enable the local administrator account and take good note of that password).

I was worried about that so I just kept waiting until I could finally get a reset code successfully sent to me.
I finally did get a reset code and was able to set the password again.
It's a crazy process!

That's a solid idea.

I have an .swf version of this demonstration (same audio and all!) dating back 2012. (My unreliable memory insists that there there were versions several years before that). One of the major reasons why I obtained a standalone .swf player when web browsers dropped support for flash formats was to play 'universe.swf' for friends.

You didn't zoom out far enough.

A year ago this MIMXRT1170-EVK board would have made me cry. Real tears.
As it is, it puts up a heck of a fight. I mentioned some war stories several posts ago and have now progressed to trying to use the board's relatively generous SDRAM, and also write my program to the board's external flash - unlike most ARM Cortex M chips, these boys don't have embedded flash. It's external. It's cool because you can add your own flash to it in whatever size and spec you need, but it makes things complicated.
Somehow writing my previously working program to flash (rather than debug-injecting it directly into SRAM) is causing SPI send errors and is running extremely slow.
I'm trying to copy the contents to SDRAM and run it from there, which should be doable, but the flasher refuses to write my code when I configure it that way, despite it compiling and linking.
In the end I'd like to boot off of microSD which this is capable of but it's black magic.
It's fits and starts with this board. I hit walls, make a bit or even a bunch of progress, and then back to the barriers everywhere i look.
I do not like NXP's documentation.

Take a break and some distance, get busy with something else for a while, relax a bit and you probably will find a hack or a new way to do it as you usually do.

I would go back to a state that really worked and try a new approach.
On Thursday I added automated testing to my cards game (replace the human player with another computer player and later add a simple AI approach). First it seemed to work ok (run > 200 games without any problem).
After one day of writing code and testing it started with ugly Sytem.StackOverFlow error always after 15 games in 32 bit (and 45 games in 64 bit version).
Tried to fix Sytem.StackOverFlow error on Friday and Saturday - but could not solve this challenge.
Then last night I went back to my backup from Thursday (automated testing without AI) and the error is gone.
Now looking for a new AI solution...

I can go back to the state that worked, but that only works by direct injection into memory using a debug probe, which is not practical.
As far as new approaches, that's the problem. Although I've found a lead just now. The issue is getting the program to load off of flash into SDRAM, which I managed, but then it has to execute in place out of the SDRAM, which is not automatic, and the documentation on setting all this up is .. terse, plus it involves a lot of register fiddling and clock timing things. It's nothing straightforward.
Fortunately I just found an example of doing what i need which I can hopefully adapt.
