HOW TO RESET Administrator PASSWORD and Unlock Computer in Windows 11,10,8.1Without Programs in 2024

➡️Try to use EaseUS Partition Master to reset password in Windows 11 - bit.ly/3UG41N9
Hey!
Today we are going to take a look at a rather simple way to reset forgotten local account password in Windows 11, Windows 10 and Windows 8.1 without programs.
This is actually a big problem when you cannot open your computer.
You are trying to remember your password, but it doesn't work. You can reset your password and come up with a new one, but you haven't created a dedicated password reset flash drive.
Do not worry, look carefully, repeat exactly after me, step by step, and we will succeed!
I hope that what I just said in this video could help you, and if you found it helpful, please share my video with anyone!
Write me a comment, I will answer all your questions and try to help you.
Thank you very much for your attention to my video!
Good luck!

[@hotguywoof]

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! What a great video! It worked on my first time through and that rarely ever happens. About a month ago my computer said it needed to restart so I did and the pin login option had disappeared from my local account. I've been using the pin login since 2017 without a problem. I forgot my password almost immediately after I registered the computer. Microsoft has been pushing for like 2 years to try to get me to sign in with my Microsoft account "to really get the full benefits of Windows." But I know that just means they want all my information to go through them and I prefer to stay in the local account. So reluctantly I signed in with my Microsoft account and it rewrote and reconfigured my computer. The pin option for the local account stayed gone so I became a user on my computer. I no longer had administrative access to a computer anymore. All my previous data that I had saved was now in a folder that I could not access, couldn't even read the properties on it. I couldn't reset or even full reset Windows because I didn't have the password. I couldn't even update a browser. I have been searching for a solution since then with no luck and then I found your magic video! I thank you so much from the bottom of my heart!! What a lifesaver!

Don't forget to remove the USB drive after you do the cmd part or to be exact, don't let windows boot again from the USB drive if you're using one. Otherwise, you won't get to the next cmd part after rebooting like in the video.

[@ipMalik]

If, after rebooting, the PC boots from the USB flash drive, this means that in the BIOS, the boot priority for USB devices is in the first place. It is necessary to change the settings in the BIOS and put the hard disk in the first place in boot priority

[@TeargasHorse]

Yes, I don't know what MS was thinking by switching to the pin code from passwords after making a user create a password. I have many customers who sign on with a password, then have to create a pin, then they eventually lose the password because they only use the pin. It's a silly unfriendly evil.

@Rodrigo Ribeiro Most likely your Windows is running a Microsoft account. Do you know what account you have - local or Microsoft? It is important.

[@ipMalik]

@Rodrigo Ribeiro The fact is that the Microsoft account password is stored on the Microsoft website and is constantly synchronized with the PC, and therefore it is possible to reset such a password on the PC only with the help of special programs. Try to do the following: log in to your outlook profile on the Microsoft website on your phone or from another PC and while logging in, click "Forgot your password" or "Sign in options" and then follow the system recommendations. After you change the forgotten password, you need to turn on the locked PC and enter a new password, the PC must be connected to the Internet: account.microsoft.com/account?lang=en-by If that doesn't help, please let me know and I'll try to help you.

Hi! If we have reset our password and finished with all of this, will the command prompt pop-up again after I restart my PC the next time? And even if that happens, what should I do and what is the way to revert all the changes we have made in the registry editor with the CMD. I would be really glad if you would help me with this question. Thanks in advance!

[@ipMalik]

Hello, After reboot, the Command Prompt appears only once to remove the password. After deleting the password in the registry, nothing else needs to be changed, in the future this will not affect the operation of the PC in any way. The only thing is that after removing the password, the PC remains unprotected, and after entering Windows, I recommend setting a new password. I showed how to set a new password in the last part of the video.

[@abdul_3012]

@@ipMalik Thank you so much for replying early, so do you mean that the command prompt would just appear once and would be gone after that. And that we would not have to do anything to remove it.

[@abdul_3012]

@@ipMalik I had one more question in my mind, if that situation happens again as we forget our password again, so would we have to repeat everything again from the start right? Like we have to do the same steps for the second time too?

@@abdul_3012 Yes, you said everything correctly. This method will work every time you remove the password after setting a new password. This method is universal. It has a limitation - this method is only for a local account, to reset the password for a Microsoft account you need a special program.

All the steps leading up to typing in the cmd commands to reset the password work, however I was getting an issue where cmd would come up, but only stay up for about 10 seconds, then my PC would hit a reboot loop. Was eventually able to get it by using net [user] [new password] "enter key". That quick changes the password.

Yes, you can find out a forgotten password, but only with the help of special programs. If you are worried about deleting a password, then I will say in response that there will be no harm to the PC, because after deleting the password you can enter Windows and immediately create a new password, but all these actions are only for a local account. Resetting a forgotten Microsoft account password requires other steps.

Crazy guy ..... Saved my data

im getting error 8646 im using a usb drive with a copy of partition wizard on a bootable drive. which enables me to go into cmd like a windows drive. i can also use the partition wizard aswell. other than that any other iso i try does not work

[@ipMalik]

Error 8646 indicates that the computer has a Microsoft account whose password, unlike a local account, cannot be reset. The fact is that the Microsoft account password is stored on the Microsoft website and is constantly synchronized with the PC, and therefore it is possible to reset such a password on the PC only with the help of special programs. Try to do the following: log in to your outlook profile on the Microsoft website on your phone or from another PC and while logging in, click "Forgot your password" or "Sign in options" and then follow the system recommendations. After you change the forgotten password, you need to turn on the locked PC and enter a new password, the PC must be connected to the Internet: account.microsoft.com/account?lang=en-by If that doesn't help, let me know.

I need to log in my dad's account or mine because my dad died and he logged into his own account on the PC and me and my family don't know the password or email to the PC. I don't mind losing all the data or OS, just being able to use the PC is good enough

[@ipMalik]

@@moupow7056 If there are no files on this PC that you would not like to lose, you can simply install a new Windows or reset the PC to factory settings: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pJvGgZecea2GZ6M But you have a special case and if you want to access this PC and see everything that is there, write me an email and I will give you full instructions on how to do it. I will say right away - the whole process is not complicated and any user can easily use my method. My e-mail address: [e-mail]
