Depending on what you see, it might be recoverable. If it's just a forgotten password and you made a password reset key you can use that to reset it otherwise you can use this trick (make sure to undo it!): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0gOZoroP... -- if it's just a password, use that loophole. If it's BitLocker and you lost the key, you will need to erase the machine. KonBoot also works, but it might break TPM bound data in Win11, I know it broke TPM bound data when I had to KonBoot a Dell with a bad BIOS I put into another PC we forgot the password on, but that was probably because I switched boards.

If the machine is unrecoverable, use the MCT to write a bootable drive and reload Windows: Windows 10/11 - USB Installation Media Creation (Microsoft MCT)
