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.

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 🎉

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😀

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

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.

it didn't work unfortunately. SOS :(

Very good Brian. Any idea why it happens?

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

Great video. One to save. Thanks Brian.

I NEED HELP, when i try to load the hive “SOFTWARE” there is an error because is already used in another process 😢

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

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

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

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.

THANK YOU I was so scared I thought I had to restart my work's pc 💀

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

Great video many thanks I just moved two windows 10 mini pcs to Linux mint had enough off the update error If Linux made it more easy to get a plex server running on my windows 11 laptop It be definitely bye Microsoft from me

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????

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

Awesome Job worked for me. Thank You Again🤗

Great video Brian, many thanks.

🙂 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 🔥😄🔥

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

Worked like a charm. Thanks!

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

🙂 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 😄

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

I need help mine didn’t work

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

Thank you , I used my Microsoft account password 😊

It’s not letting me go into c drive

My cousin Girlfriend have same problem but she forget the password she want the old account and she can't access her files

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

Worked like a charm,, thanks bro

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.

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).

Worked like a charm. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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.

Thank you so much sir! It did work for me! You're the best!

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?

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!

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?

Couldn't find passwordless. Please help

Thank you so much, my system problem is resolved.

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

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.

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❤❤❤❤❤

Thank you so much, that helped a lot.

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

there is no passwordless for me

It works! Thank you!!!

For some reason it wont let me get on the c disk

Thanks a lot for this video, I could finally log into my PC

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

It worked like magic ...thank you 😮 my bums were cracking 😂you there best

It worked well 👌🏼

When i try to type in a website my laptop is just typing random things in the search bar and my cursor gets stuck..why is that?

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

Guys whoever is getting error while saving msoftware file, here's the solution, when you go to load hive check the partition latter mine C drive got converted into D so the C partition size was lot smaller and The D was the actual size of C so check the drive and then same process, it will fix it 1000000 %

Thank

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

I can't find the file password less.

It worked, thanks. I have my metamask and phantom wallet in it. Now i can relax.

Super helpful, thanx.

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

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?
