I just built a new PC but I can't log into Windows since I need to change my PIN, which requires an internet connection. I've already tried using the Shift + F10 trick, but nothing happens when I do it. Can anyone suggest a solution to get me past this login issue?

Make sure you're pulling up the command prompt properly. Just hitting Shift + F10 won’t do it alone. You need to type 'OOBEBYPASSNRO' after accessing the command prompt.
Just to note, the OOBE bypass thing only works during installation, so it might not help if Windows is already installed.
You should check your BIOS settings or try troubleshooting the keyboard. Sometimes it might not be responding. Also, try changing the USB port for the keyboard or consider reinstalling Windows, especially if the current version isn't compatible with your new setup.
I can't even get the menu to pop up when I try the shortcut, which is the real issue for me.
