Can't Login To Windows 11 

Please add a pinned comment and an above the fold update to the description telling people how to disable the administrator account after doing this, as it's a massive security issue just leaving it like that.

Why is windows having issue after issue? I haven't had any issues since 2022 when I made the switch to Linux. With all these "how to fix this issue on Windows 10/11" videos, I am glad I am settled on Linux.

When user connects the xbox live services on his pc, Pc disconnects wifi but after restart he connects to the wifi again its repeatiedly happens ... Whats the problem????

hello Brian, its september 21, and Im having this problem with my dell 7530, i watched your video over an over , but it does not help bring on to the blue screen, can you help please? thank you.

So if i did all the steps but problem is my pc dosent allow me to access the C disk file and only D but D has a recovery file that dosent work what do i do then?

Great stuff Brian another really helpful video mate and personally I do like fixing stuff which is causing problems or even setting up a new configuration using the command prompt and regedit. More please😀

It doesnt open the command prompt when i do this. It brings me to choose account section and asks my password

it didn't work unfortunately. SOS :(

I have been trying for hours, my pc wouldn't let me get past the sign in screen. This helped, thank you so much!

Did everything perfectly well but unfortunately it didn't work for me. When I returned the error was still there, hence I couldn't log in. Any further idea what I could do?

I tried to reset the pin from the website and I wanna know if this changes anything.

After entering msoftware it shows” The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process”- Did any one face this issue

Thank you so much!!! I went to major computer shops to talk with their technicians. They all said it would cost up to several hundreds dollars and took minimum 2 days up to two weeks to fix the computer. But thanks to your precisely-designed video, I fixed my computer myself with all the files perfectly intact by following your step by step instructions!!! Thank you! Danke! *I am computer illiterate and I did it myself! Thank you 🎉

When i click on CMD the screen is turning off and going blank.... Please help me

Great video. One to save. Thanks Brian.

the blue screen isnt working on my device even if i press shift and restart.

I’m hoping for this error, just to able to solve it… great vid

I types net user adminstrator /active:yes and it said The user name could not be found. Plz help? I decided, why not reset my pc? Is that an option?

Very good Brian. Any idea why it happens?

Man god bless! You saved me! Been stuck at this for a month and watch literally 100 videos. Amazing!! Thank you so much!

I have followed all the steps in this video but does not allow me to “unload hive” any suggestions?

Mine just shows "Sign In", not even show me the ENTER YOU PIN message, it wont respond to clicks and nothing helps (cant go into safe mod unplugged / reset does nothing).

what about if i choose command promt i have to choose an account “ACER” and i once click it i have to input my password, pls help

I did the steps exactly the way you did it, but right after i clicked continue, once the pin screen pops up this message, “explorer.exe - System Error The system detected an overrun of a stack-based buffer in this application. This overrun could potentially allow a malicious user to gain control of this application.” popped up also. Please please someone help!

You are a lifesaver bro .......fully understood your every word and even had a chuckle at the ending regarding actually knowing your pin😊

Hold the Shift after after restart does not work in hp pavilion

Bro you’re the best man I’ve been having this problem since 3 months ago and everytime it showed up i have to wait like 2 hours and having the pc on, ty man you’re the best.

hey i ran into this issue except i can’t open up the cmd prompt without the pin. whenever i select it, it asks me to choose an account to continue and a password. i’ve tried my pin and microsoft password however nothing works. pretty sure i need the pin that’s not available and im not sure what to do. any idea how to fix this?

I dont have password less at all. And i cant put in msoftware. It says its being used by another process

Great easy to understand, articulate tutorial. The key here is knowledge and we are all the benefactors. Thank you!

@Britec09 I did not see "passwordless" during the process. Please help

🙂 to avoid this from every happening go to your Sign In Options and turn everything off, that way if ur motherboard gets messed up and the security stuff on the motherboard has to reset and be erased you wont have to worry about Windows complaining that the security stuff on the motherboard does not match the security stuff in Windows. If your wondering its because every time you boot the computer the motherboard has to do a 'handshake' with Windows 11, its suppose to protect u from malware and viruses that mite be lurking somewhere on the motherboard. Alegedly 😄

If I do this way, will it keep my files?

Holding shift key doesn't work, tell me another way.

It still won’t let me enter a pin and it says my password is incorrect every time. Won’t let me reset password or pin.

Can someone help I can’t log in because it’s say my pin doesn’t have the right credentials and I can’t reset my pc in troubleshot what can I do

🙂 do a video on "There is an issue with Trusted Platform Module" and "Your PIN is No Longer Available on Windows 10 11", bios updates are wrecking havoc on laptops and a few desktops, and then when u reset the TPM u can no longer Sign IN and then your SOL 🔥😄🔥

Command prompt wants a password and does not recognise it, when introduced. Any tips?

I don't have the command prompt option listed

i cannot restart like you did? i already tried 2-3 times. help pls?

It didn’t let me enter the pin. Gave me the original error but just an option to enter a password. But I never setup a password.

This error happened to me after trying to boot in safe mode to fix my graphics drivers. Not sure why booting in safe mode would break it like this. But it did. I ended up doing a clean install to fix it. Wish i knew this method at the time. LOL.

What would cause this condition to occur? Bad or corrupted updates?

When i open software and type in msoftware it says that msoftware is "being used by another process

Something that actually works...thank you so much man

Did everything was still unable to enter pin?

why can't I enter the recovery pages I press shift like you did

Great video Brian, many thanks.

Mine just worked. He really did save me. Problem with restore is that i am not sure if it will removed some files or not. Tell me about it

When i request command prompt I'm then requires to enter my admin pin but the usual pin is rejected.

Mine after holding left shift and pressing restart just shows the turn off pc option

Nothing happens after we click “command prompt”. Just black screen and then returns to the log in.

Thanks a lot man I tried for a whole day. And it solved my problem❤

What if there is only default and not the other option

Worked like a charm. Thanks!

When I press the shift key it restarts and is stuck at the Dell logo

You can do that the first time when it happens but the second time?!!

Do you have transcripts of this video?

Something wrong. My password is the same. But now it’s not working. I just used it. In fact if I restore my system from a previous point I’d be able to login with that same password but now it not working.

Dude thank you!!! I was troubleshooting with copilot from my phone and it was driving me nuts, you’re the best 🍻

I can't enter to cmd cause i have 2 account mine is not the admin to get cmd i should enter the forgeten password

It didn’t work for me i cant even get to the f5 screen. It just keeps going back to login

Can you finish one before saying another way? It's confusing.

So is the setting for using Windows Hello being enabled and thereby disabling the use of passwords and PINs and loading the Hive and modifying that key reverses that setting?: You had shown initially that one could unhide the hidden Administrator account. Would doing that allow you to login via that account and fix this setting? You did not explain what taking that route would allow you to do.

Do virus cause that login issue ?

I do not have the option password list, what do I do

Thanks sir, I was about complete reset my computer, you save my life

I will watch this video later, but I have another video wish for you: Could you please make a video about how to check if a website is OK, using a couple of trusted site reviewers.

Finally. I watched so many videos and yours finally helped me. Thank you again

Hallo Britec09 is there anyway I can contact you please...I have a issue with my pc and was wondering if you can help me figure out the problem?

For me when a similar issue happened after resizing the partition where i couldn't log in on my 2011 iMac, i couldn't use any methods from the startup troubleshooter repair options. Every option i tried from resetting PC, system restore, repair startup, all asked for a password. Which it wouldn’t accept. I managed to fix it by booting up my new Linux partition install that originally triggered the partition resize, finding the System32 folder (usually located in the Windows folder in the C drive of your Windows install) in the broken Windows Bootcamp partition, and renaming a couple of files to a different name. I believe the two files were called Utilman and CMD. Initially i got this idea to swap those file names to make it so the accessibility options at the login screen would instead open up the terminal from some advice on an internet search to get around the password requirement, so i could access the terminal and enter the command to hopefully fix it. But instead after restarting from tampering with those files under Linux, it actually triggered Windows 10 to repair itself after a restart, and after that i could log in again. So didn't have to go in to the terminal in the end. So Linux saves a Windows user again lol. But yeah, i can only assume the partition resize from the Linux install must have corrupted something. If similar issues happens to anyone else, booting in to any live Linux distro (i used Fedora) should let you access the Windows/System32 folder if anyone wishes to try the same. Just renaming these files in System32 to anything else will also probably do the trick and trigger a repair. The worst that could happen is you’ll just have to backup your important files that are on Windows with the live Linux distro and do a Windows reinstall if you still want to use Windows if any of these methods fails to work at all.

I got password window active but it doesn’t take my password

This saved me so much headache thanks so much for this

“The process cannot access the file because it’s being used by another process” how to fix

Couldn't find passwordless. Please help

You are the only one that made it worked, thank you so much

Thanks so much . Your video really helped me after so much struggle😊

Hey Brian, got an idea for you for a video. Windows 7 separated devices and removable storage from Harddisks. Windows 10 and 11 clumps everything together. Is there a way to get this divide back ?

But when I goes for troubleshoot it doesn't show me the advance options why?

it then let me enter my password but keeps saying it’s incorrect

Worked for me thank you so much 🙌🏼

But bro my password doesn't match, any solution

I cant able to enter troubleshoot mode by holding shift key

просто вау, огромной спасибо, друг! Я устал уже искать видео на ютубе, чтобы решить эту проблему! сейчас 3 часа ночи и жду пока загрузит систему❤❤❤❤❤

In Kubuntu settings I've found two exactly the same login screens, so I decided to remove one of them. Result? Both login screens disappeared... Luckily I found a command to reinstall it. Linux is fun too! ;)

Awesome Job worked for me. Thank You Again🤗

It lets me use my password now, but my pin does not work still. I have no password.
