    Shift+Restart not working, how can I get into my computer?


    I have a desktop computer with windows 11 on it. The other day my PIN stopped working. I’ve used the same one for 2 years and now it doesn’t work. I also can not remember the password. I’ve tried to restart the computer while holding shift and the tower restarts but the monitor stays a black screen and nothing happens when trying the keyboard. Been locked out for days. Don’t necessarily want to lose the files I have on the computer. Any ideas?

    :)

    The tutorials provided are just a list of troubleshooting steps. Use only the steps which apply to you.

    Since none of the troubleshooting steps here worked, I'd suggest you do a Clean install.

    Intel Speed Shift Technology Skylake

    You just need a Skylake CPU and ThrottleStop, once turned on speed shift you can exit the software as unclewebb said above.
