I'm having a tough time accessing my HP Envy laptop since I've lost admin access, and I can't reset it through the settings. I tried the shift method but to no avail. I don't care about saving any files; I just need a way to wipe the machine and get it working again by tomorrow. I would appreciate any software suggestions or steps to take to do this. Plus, there's a weird issue with it not charging, so if you could help me find a quick solution, that would be great!

Just a heads up, if you want to move fast, you can use Rufus to set up the bootable USB. Get the Windows ISO and use Rufus to transfer it to your flash drive. Boot your laptop from the USB and wipe everything by deleting the old partitions. This should help you get Windows 11 back up by tomorrow!
I hear you! It sounds stressful, but you can create a bootable USB to reinstall Windows 11. You'll need another computer for this. Just download the Windows 11 media creation tool and a USB drive. Use that to make the bootable USB. Once it's ready, boot your HP laptop from the USB and follow the prompts to install Windows. Make sure to delete any old partitions when prompted so that the new installation goes smoothly.
I get it, you're in a bind. While you're working on the bootable USB, try checking your charger. Sometimes it just needs a little adjustment or to be plugged in at a different angle. It might even be worth borrowing a charger just to be safe while you get the installation sorted.
