Very annoying, have to keep my 950 unlocked at all times now to avoid this.
VERY ANTI SECURITY FEATURE.

The permanent lockin feature means you had not unlocked your phone via Microsodt wesite double security check like after a lost or stolen device,

Don't know if this solution is been given here..too long to read...so giving it one more time.

I had this problem and I found out a way...Go to you Find My Phone in Microsoft Account. Lock the phone with a 6 digit code...wait until you get the message on the website says it has been locked...then try to unlock with the new 6 digit code. and wuala...it will unlock your phone to start screen.....

If your phone gets discharged completely, always charge it with the charger that comes with the phone, not with a cable or an alternative. Reason being, the cable charges the phone very slowly. (My lumia 730, and many windows phones i assume, cannot be charged when switched off. So as soon as you plug in the cable, it'll start up.) But this is not a good-enough amount of charge, for the phone to stay switched on. Hence, it switches off immediately. But being plugged in, starts up again and creates a loop. You can use the cable to charge the phone when it has enough charge though. @Sarveshwar: Thanks for posting your solution though. Helps out a lot!

Today morning, my Lumia got fully discharged. So, I connected it to the wall outlet and the screen showed NOKIA logo, then the large battery and then switched off. Again same thing happened. I then plugged in my phone to the laptop but the same thing was repeated. I left the phone connected to the laptop. After about half an hour, I double tapped the screen and it had charged but after I entered the PIN correctly, a note appeared that read "This device has been locked for security reasons. Connect your device to a power source for at least two hours, then try again".

I could access only notification centre by swiping down and everything worked there like flight mode, bluetooth etc. I was able to save screenshots. I could receive a call too. I am not sure why this happened. Does anyone have any idea?

I then left my phone for over two hours connected to power source but nothing happened. It would still not unlock.

Then I headed over to the Microsoft website and locked my device from my account with a 6 digit PIN. Then, I was able to unlock the phone using that PIN.

By the way, I am using Windows 10 Mobile 10536.1004. If anyone faces the issue, you already have the solution.
