None of these solutions worked for me, I tried multiple of this guys videos as well as some guides elsewhere. I must've been very unlucky, but then all of a sudden I was just allowed to change my pin. Not sure what changed it. Maybe if you're having issues with these solutions try and wait for a few hours and see if it finally allows you to change the pin.

Been wasting 4 hours to watch different vids and troubleshoot my laptop AND this is the only video that help and works on me. Thank you so much
Dude! 2 years. for 2 years I have tried everything hoping it gets resolved... but no luck. Left my laptop packed away and finally came across your video. Worked like a charm and did not lose my old data! thank you so much!

I disabled all background services to launch a game properly but ended up having this problem. Your video was extremely helpful. I did 90% of everything from your video. Only in the last part PIN didn’t work so I had to login with my Microsoft password and it worked. Then I enabled all services and restarted it. I didn’t need to remove my PIN or something. Thank you for the video, you have earned a new subscriber.

Thank you, note to everyone make sure you select the drive to find system 32. Mine was using a tempory drive x so it said it was in use by another process when trying to load the hive.
When I reach the command prompt they ask for the microsoft password! The reason I'm trying to do this is because I forgot it and after an update microsoft decided to disable my pin!
I now have the password option, but it doesn't accept my password, and the forgot password option doesn't work. After clicking on the forgot password, it gives an error saying "The system detected an overrun of a stack-based buffer in this application "

THANK YOU MASTER YOUR ARE TRULY MY SAVIOR OMG IM CRYING
Bro it’s literally 5:14 jus did a bios update and this happened 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️ hopefully this helps me cause I had to update security info for my MS account
First of all when I click on troubleshoot it doesn’t give me the same option it just goes straight to advanced options and then there is no open command prompt there is, “enable safe mode with command prompt” but when I click on it it doesn’t open the command prompt just goes straight back to the Lock Screen.
For anyone still struggling i found workarounds for 2 of the issues i had 1- if msoftware gives you an error when you type it you just have to access the file manually by going to following what he says to get it 2- if your login isnt working and it says your password is wrong then you have to input your microsoft password
I had this problem too. Said another process was using msoftware. I just just retraced my steps over again and did it from scratch. Pretend system32 didn’t show up for you. Use his recommended route for if system32 didn’t show up. This worked for me.
Hi both method not working for me. I can't find the passwordless, and when i used the other method i am prompted that the process can't access the file because it is being used by another process.
This actually is the perfect tutorial for the problem i was having, i was pulling my hair out with stress, as i have all my employee data and important documents on my pc that if lost could result in a large loss of momey, thank you so much! ❤
In case anyone still cant get in after having the password option. I had changed my microsoft login name a while back and needed to change it back to the original alias through the microsoft website on a different pc before it would let me log in with a password. Thanks for showing us this. This was the only thing that helped me.
I was getting an error message when after typing msoftware "The process cannot acces the fule because it is being used by another process" what should i do now ?
Yeah right when you enter the system32 part of the process use the search bar up to change the disk to C: or where you windows was installed there you can find the system32 and proceed
Ran into this issue suddenly after upgrading my CPU and AIO. Microsoft Support basically suggested wiping everything. Thank you for saving all my data! This was super helpful.

This was very helpful. I did have issues getting to my system 32. My "C" drive read "Empty" and I was unable to get anything once selecting "Load Hive". So I believe I went to the "X" Drive where I stumbled across System 32 and followed his directions. Now I am up and running, I am going to disable it this time around. Thank you GREATLY!

@@nasirubarrie1235yes, I had to select the drive of my Windows installation from the file explorer (exactly as shown in the video). Otherwise it will tell you: Cannot Load X:\Windows\System32\config\SOFTWARE: The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.

You are God, I didn't have a recovery email in my Microsoft account, and if I reset the PC I would lose everything, and thanks to your video I was able to log in again, thank you!!!
did not work for me. error Cannot load c:\Windows\System32\config\SOFTWARE: The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.
Wow.. I literally spent all day yesterday trying to correct this issue. Why watch and follow multiple videos with no luck. First thing this morning. I tried your procedure and it worked the first time. Again thank you for your tutorial it made my day!
Thank you so much like literally you don’t understand how much I just want to thank you because it took me over a month I’m gonna start looking at your videos more. Thank you again I’m subbing.
Today i make a mess, i turn of BITS then restart. Then on startup it was imposible to enter the pin. Your video help me to enter system and enable BITS again! You save me from reinstaling Windows, thank you!!! You are great guy!
Wonderful. Ty so much for your detailed explanation. Because in every detail, there are informations that helped me. And saved a lot of time and stress. ♥
Bro I did this but still have the same problem its still giving me the same error....this happened after a downloaded a cracked game from oceanofgames and disabled my windows defender 😭

Thanks, Thanks. I spent an hour trying to log in and was almost close to just installing ubuntu over my drive and removing all my data. But your video really helped me. Thanks a lot, I can now finally go to sleep without thinking about this pin problem all day tomorrow.
This is the clutchest video in the history of videos. Thank you my friend.. I updated my bios and thought I was going to have to fresh install 😂 you’re a life saver … def subbed
Thank you!! In my case microsoft was not sending me the sms verification code, so I was unable to proceed the configure the new PIN step.. with this solution Im now able to login using my password, thanks again!
Hello from the UK. Thank you so much for this tutorial. I've been trying to login for days. Microsoft support is garbage! You helped me within minutes!. Thanks you sir 😊
I dont have passwrodless at all, from both videos. What to do? I want to disable my pin. I cant even enter. Or how do i save everything on my desktop now to a harddrive?
Thank you sm I couldn’t even reset my pin it was asking me to log into my microsoft account and verify my identity with a number I no longer use! And when I added my new number it said I had to wait 30 days before I can log into my account this just saved my life .
You saved my life. I was trying to get rid of some data. BUT Then I had to type my password bc I had to reset. Ty Now I can play what my friends were playing now Heres a like!
Bro the problem with me is different. I have two options : 1. Something happened and your pin isn't available. 2. I Can login with a password. The problem : But when i login nothing on my laptop works for eg no microsoft apps, i have no edge access, and i can't change my pin too. Neither can i factory reset. I can just open my laptop using the password and do nothing. I tried entering safe mode, then deleting nfc folder, tried your prompts, nothing works.
When you reach the CMD section, it might be prudent to type 'd:' (without the quotation marks), as failing to do so could result in the error "The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process". Should the PIN be unavailable upon restarting, you will have the option to log in using your Microsoft email password. Once logged in, simply proceed to rectify the startup issue.
This was the only solution that worked for me. It didn't give me the option to run a console, so I had to boot from a Windows 10 installation USB, from there I followed the steps in this tutorial.
Installed new cpu & had the pin had to be reset error. Dude, my NordVPN was blocking the internet and I only had a pin set. This saved me HOURS IF NOT DAYS!!!

Access it the second way he explained and then try it that's what I had to do.
You started in config most likely not system 32
I got the same too
My one doesn’t have a have passwordless?
I am facing tha same problem.. Did you find tbe solution
Same problem 😢
It's same on me 😢
you are an absolute belter. This absolutely works - if your password isn't working it's because you're putting the wrong password in. THANK FOOOOK FOR THIS VIDEO!!!!
This was very helpful. I did have issues getting to my system 32. My "C" drive read "Empty" and I was unable to get anything once selecting "Load Hive". So I believe I went to the "X" Drive where I stumbled across System 32 and followed his directions. Now I am up and running, I am going to disable it this time around. Thank you GREATLY!
2:18 it tells me "The process cannot access the file because it's being used in another process", what do I do?
Think this might be because you searched cmd in the windows tab and not from holding shift and pressing restart
@@Cayjai2what should I do to fix this problem?
If this is still an issue, find it manually with the method he said, by going into my computer and so on
I didn't find Password Less option😢
Mee too
Me 2
Browse and select from c drive. Sometimes it is auto selected the boot drive
The File 'passwordless' is missing? any other roots to take?
same
When entering "msoftware" I am getting the error: Cannot Load X:\Windows\System32\config\SOFTWARE: The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.
did you ever figure this out?
@@nasirubarrie1235 nope. I reinstalled my whole system. 😵💫😵💫
@@nasirubarrie1235yes, I had to select the drive of my Windows installation from the file explorer (exactly as shown in the video). Otherwise it will tell you: Cannot Load X:\Windows\System32\config\SOFTWARE: The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.
What was your drive installation? As i am also getting same ussue
Holly crap I thought I broke my PC when disabling everything in the msconfig. This video has just saved thousands of dollars. Thank you so much.
I am not getting passwordLess option
What did you do?
Omg!! Me funcionó perfectamente, llevaba 3 meses sin poder usarla intentando diferentes tutorial es y este por fin me ayudó, muchas graciaaaaaaaaaaaas!!
Remember there's always an Indian guy~ 🥹
Mano, muito obrigado, me ajudou demais
Big thumbs up for this tutorial - I had exact this problem....👍
Really good instructions. Well-paced, and very smart to have them listed in a series if one pathway doesn’t work.
Thank you very much for this guide. As many others I did a bios update and couldn't use my pin anymore to login to my Windows. Your method worked!
I had this problem and it's been 3 days since I've been following several videos and nothing worked, nothing, I even formatted my PC twice. Luckily I found your video and it worked, thank you very much.
I've been looking through hundreds of videos and none of them worked for me, that's the only method that worked, thanks so much!!!
I am a CPA ( not a technical person ) this video was amazing. I was able to fix my laptop without any problem.
Holy crap you saved my life bro!! I was having an issue where I didn't have the option to open the command prompt in advanced options, but I was able to boot from a USB drive with the windows media creation tool on it. Worked perfectly and I have access to all my school files for my last 2 months of uni. Again, thank you so much you saved my life 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Thanks, since my PE is broken too I used a mini windows 10 on thumbdrive. Lifesaver, now I can try running sfc and other tools after resetting my PIN.
You are God, I didn't have a recovery email in my Microsoft account, and if I reset the PC I would lose everything, and thanks to your video I was able to log in again, thank you!!!
did not work for me. error Cannot load c:\Windows\System32\config\SOFTWARE: The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.
Mine too what's the solution
You saved me! I had the great idea at 2am in the morning to update bios and then this happened. I had panic attacks, this worked for me! tysm :)
Wow.. I literally spent all day yesterday trying to correct this issue. Why watch and follow multiple videos with no luck. First thing this morning. I tried your procedure and it worked the first time. Again thank you for your tutorial it made my day!
Thank you so much like literally you don’t understand how much I just want to thank you because it took me over a month I’m gonna start looking at your videos more. Thank you again I’m subbing.
Today i make a mess, i turn of BITS then restart.
Then on startup it was imposible to enter the pin.
Your video help me to enter system and enable BITS again!
You save me from reinstaling Windows, thank you!!!
You are great guy!
Wonderful. Ty so much for your detailed explanation. Because in every detail, there are informations that helped me. And saved a lot of time and stress. ♥
Bro I did this but still have the same problem its still giving me the same error....this happened after a downloaded a cracked game from oceanofgames and disabled my windows defender 😭
Hello, I understand the problem of the password being wrong, you must enter the password of your Microsoft account after completing this process, not the password of your computer or laptop. Oh god, no one had mentioned this
If you can't find the desired file or you can't rename it, just choose another name, then that folder will be created and the warning that someone else is using it will not be displayed anymore.
Thanks, Thanks. I spent an hour trying to log in and was almost close to just installing ubuntu over my drive and removing all my data. But your video really helped me. Thanks a lot, I can now finally go to sleep without thinking about this pin problem all day tomorrow.
This is the clutchest video in the history of videos. Thank you my friend.. I updated my bios and thought I was going to have to fresh install 😂 you’re a life saver … def subbed
Wow, this worked. Amazing. Thank you so much.
Great Man, since 8 months i was facing issue with laptop, finally today got solution. Thanks Man
Bro just fixed a reoccurring issue I've been having for 2 years. THANK YOU!!!
Thank you!! In my case microsoft was not sending me the sms verification code, so I was unable to proceed the configure the new PIN step.. with this solution Im now able to login using my password, thanks again!
Best video. I was struggling for whole day to setup my pin and this video saved me
Worked great for me, I had my Windows folder in a different place but found it and used the steps your provide. Thanks for being a lifesaver!
Lets all be honest, we never had these problems 10 years ago. I miss windows 7
Perfectly worked for me, just make sure to go to system 32 manually from This PC and you'll be fine
Huge thanks sir
Underrated. had the issue a few times after using the safeboot. this method is quick and working. Can't believe how broken W11 is.
THANKS A LOT
whenever i put my pin it would say “use a different sign-in option, or keep your device powered on for at least 2 hours”
Hello from the UK. Thank you so much for this tutorial. I've been trying to login for days. Microsoft support is garbage! You helped me within minutes!. Thanks you sir 😊
I dont have passwrodless at all, from both videos. What to do? I want to disable my pin. I cant even enter. Or how do i save everything on my desktop now to a harddrive?
Bro you safed my life, i had this issue, after I updated my bios. But now all work, thanks to you ❤
You're a hero! I've been at this for hours, nothing worked but this worked like a charm. Thank you very much!
Thank you sm I couldn’t even reset my pin it was asking me to log into my microsoft account and verify my identity with a number I no longer use! And when I added my new number it said I had to wait 30 days before I can log into my account this just saved my life .
Sir, thank you for this!!! Worked out as your video!! Excellent
It works, thanks so much after 4 hours you were the only one that successfully managed to work.
You saved my life.
I was trying to get rid of some data. BUT Then I had to type my password bc I had to reset.
Ty Now I can play what my friends were playing now
Heres a like!
It works bro 100% try everyone 2024 issues
I am not getting command prompt option
When I try to login it doesn’t work with my password after I did everything
i cant see lesspasword please help im freaking out
Bro the problem with me is different. I have two options :
1. Something happened and your pin isn't available.
2. I Can login with a password.
The problem :
But when i login nothing on my laptop works for eg no microsoft apps, i have no edge access, and i can't change my pin too. Neither can i factory reset. I can just open my laptop using the password and do nothing. I tried entering safe mode, then deleting nfc folder, tried your prompts, nothing works.
When you reach the CMD section, it might be prudent to type 'd:' (without the quotation marks), as failing to do so could result in the error "The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process". Should the PIN be unavailable upon restarting, you will have the option to log in using your Microsoft email password. Once logged in, simply proceed to rectify the startup issue.
i cannot select the "SOFTWARE" file. it says that the file is been used by another process
Then what did you do
This was the only solution that worked for me. It didn't give me the option to run a console, so I had to boot from a Windows 10 installation USB, from there I followed the steps in this tutorial.
You saved me from resetting my PC for the 210th time. Thank you 😅
You helped me perfect! Thank you bro! Well explained and it worked!
after I'm doing this my network got problem, they're gone? do you know how to fix it? I've tried many way but no one works
Same need help
Same!
Installed new cpu & had the pin had to be reset error. Dude, my NordVPN was blocking the internet and I only had a pin set. This saved me HOURS IF NOT DAYS!!!
