No Paul, we can’t use Ctrl+Alt+Del to unlock screen, we need password.
It is just a feature which let user do some operations, but user still need password to verify identity firstly.
If you lost password, try to reset it by answering security questions

If you can’t answer security question, the only way is clean install.
