Reset Your Forgotten Windows 10 Password with Freeware

[@alexanderginger754]

Oh my god this was so simple, why are all the other guides so complicated? Thank you so much

[@akurenda1985]

Great tool. I've been using a custom linux distro where I can just do it in a few clicks with a GUI. Sometimes the SAM file isn't in the right location and cmd line doesn't work right. I think it should be worth mentioning that if the drive is encrypted, you will fubar the entire thing by doing a SAM file related PW reset. You also cannot unlock accounts that use a Microsoft Account login with any tool that I've used/found.

[@Website-Developer]

Rufus does work well If you are trying to get through to "Windows Password" However if you are locked out at the HDD (hard drive) password that is set by the computer manufacturer, then you must call them to get the master password that is set on the "hard drive" when it was bought.

[@harrytsang1501]

It's funny you made this video today. I was tasked to install something on a work machine with lost admin password. I just booted Kali and used chntpw only to discover the only admin was the Administrator account. We discovered that a previous staff was using Administrator as normal user with her personal Gmail logged in and League of Legends installation files in her download folder. I removed quite a lot of things before proceeding

One tip: if you run Windows 10, be sure to do a "complete" shutdown, by holding 'Shift' when you click on the Shutdown icon. Apparently Windows 10 does some hybrid/partial shutdown by default. Took a while to figure out why normally powering down wasn't doing the trick....

[@artemiskarlatira9200]

I had the exact same problem, it had a message that the Windows is hibernated and it failed. It took me some time to figure it out. I also hold the Shift key while shutting windows down and it worked!

[@aaaagfa]

Thank you mate!

[@jetblast00]

Worked great. Had a locked out 'boot' drive and all the other tricks failed. This came right up and allowed me to reset the computer admin!

[@martsmiscmix]

Thanks Chris, this was really handy to know as I've just "upgraded" my fairly old (2006 vintage) machine from Win7 to Win10. It became apparent that at some point I'd set a password for my default user account, and that I'd totally forgotten that I'd done that, and of course what the password was (I tried everything I could think of, but nothing worked). Anyway, I followed your instructions and apart from a problem I had with the USB thumb drive I was using (it was one of those which converts an SD card to USB in an adapter), and used a "proper" one, it worked exactly as it should. A possible side-effect was that the next time I ran MS Outlook, it seemed to have "forgotten" all the email passwords for my email accounts, and I've had to put them back into the config. Assuming this is NOT a coincidence, I presume Outlook is using the same file for its email account password that the Windows account manager is using? Thanks for your hard work, Chris, and I hope 2020 is a good year for you and yours.

[@kevingarand1426]

Yep..have used this for years, mainly when CD boot was popular, but now on USB is nice.

[@dr5chrome896]

Chris - I see that you enabled the admin, while other login accounts were listed.. Was not this video about resetting forgotten passwords? Is the procedure the same for a regular account [such as Titus]? Will it function the same? thanks. dw

[@swmovan]

Thanks! I just got this to work on an old Dell Optiplex (Vista) machine. It was a little different, and I had to go back a few times, but finally figured it out. It is easier than most other procedures I found, which most wouldn't work on Vista.

Excellent Video, I used it for a computer at work that disconnected from the domain, i enabled the Administrator account reconnected it to the domain and logged in and then turned the Admin Off, Thans Chirs!!

[@rainbowblackout]

This is why you should have a bios password to stop people booting from usb. Also this won't work if the drive has bitlocker enabled. Microsoft know the passwords can be easily reset which is why they advice you use bios passwords and encryption.

[@Co0dy]

@@haydenborst6272 The battery is not for BIOS its for CMOS. But you will have a problem if your System/Mainboard uses NVRAM to store BIOS configuration parameters because there is no separate battery...its in the NVRAM module an you can not pull it out.

[@huzaefak]

THIS WORKS YOUVE TRIED IT ?

[@benriful]

There is a "trick" you could do if all you have is a Windows install media (CD/DVD/USB/etc.). Boot into that, then at the start screen press Shift-F10 to open the command prompt. Then you can rename the file d:\windows\system32\utilman.exe to something else temporarily, whatever you want - just so you can undo this later. Copy d:\windows\system32\cmd.exe as a replacement to the above file. Then reboot the machine without the install media. When asked for login credentials, click the Utility Manager icon (should be bottom left). This now opens a command line window. At which point you can use the NET USER command to rest passwords all you like. Add extra users, set them as administrator, whatever you please. No need to know any password. Been a trick for a long while now, I know it worked in W7, and it still does in W10.

[@joaopatricio8367]

That's exactly the method I use. You can rename any of the Accessibility Tools to be replaced by cmd.exe. Also, later on cmd if you just use the command "net user" it will list all the available usernames, then you pick one and input "net user " and it will change/apply the to the . Sometimes it will output that you don't have permission for that, so you can use the Administrator account instead. Even after changing said account it might not show up, and that's because it's not active, so, again on cmd you input "net user administrator /active:yes" and that account will now show in the login window and you can log in with the password you gave it.

[@handasitko-4392]

I used this too .. it was amazing trick and makes you look like hacker somehow 😂😂😂

[@Angel-xq6px]

Thanks a million bro. You are the best! It did work. Now I just need to know if I can redo the account I forget the password for.

[@leaddevelopukwelys7645]

Thank soooooooo much. You really saved me a lot. I joined my PC to a network and after some months, I had to change the account user name and password from the domain AD for my own reasons. After doing this successfully, I got this error "The trust relationship between this workstation and the primary domain failed " when I tried signing in using the new username and password so the only option was to unjoin it from the network and join it again BUT I had to first login with the local Administrator account which I did not Know and this stressed me a lot but you saved me. Thank You so much. God Bless you for sharing this.

bro, haven't seen this reset in a few years, I used on Hiran Utility CD, man great stuff, I was wondering what I did with that CD lol, thanks again.

[@AzVidsPro]

NIce trick. Unfortunately this will not work if you have secure boot properly setup and a bios password. But I believe that there are just so many security issues in windows that it does not matter anymore. BTW I fully switched to linux on my thinkpad x230 as a daily driver for school with a windows vm for office and closed sourced stuff. Gonna make the switch on the desktop when I get a bit more powerful hardware and when the anti cheat stuff in games are fixed. Cheers!

[@insitakaya1672]

Just curious, but what distro did you switch to??

[@AzVidsPro]

Ali Rahman despite all my failled attempts to install arch... I know I am a brainlet. I am using antergos. I was using Linux mint before that for almost a year. Then I checked out kde neon. Fell in love with kde. But neon was Debian based and I did not want that, so I just installed the plasma desktop on antergos. What about you? What distro are *you* using and if so, how did you end up on it?

[@lucinha21RJ]

Hi Chris, thanks for the video, Following this i have a quick question to ask, how this is going to work if you have your hard drive encrypted (like is it in the most enterprises today)?

[@mintyfresh3152]

Nice, no muss - no fuss. Also complies with my daytime employer/s, "no use of third party software" rule. One more usb drive to put in my quick fix stash.

[@davidg4512]

Linux is just as easy and even easier. Just launch into single use mode from grub and there you go. The only wait you can protect yourself is drive encryption.

[@grabbabitewelfed1641]

Man... Love your videos, you’re awesome ✌🏻

[@jerryferreira8960]

What I mean is that the video doesn't show you resetting the password for Titus, which I would assume would be the account you'd want to reset.

[@NoEgg4u]

That would be more direct, if you did not have administrator access. But if your administrator account is enabled, and you know the password, then your administrator account could reset passwords for other accounts. In this video, he showed how to get administrator access, which once logged in, gives you access to do whatever else you decide to do. The procedure for resetting the other logins would essentially be the same as what we watched for resetting the administrator account.

[@MrVic2491]

Hi Chris I eventually got going but you may like to consider a few providoes. My bios didn't support booting off the USB stick. No worries, I created a bootable CD using the iso file. Unfortunately a used a Windows me laptop. Need Windows xp or above for the program to create the bootable stick. Running the bootable CD worked I reached finding the partition where windows is. It reported that Windows was in hibernate mode and it would not mount the disk. Even asking to ignore this, it still didn't work. Going into Windows and asking to Shut Down did not help. The way around this is when Windows starts up, press the power switch and force it to turn off. After a couple of times of doing this, you get the message repair. Go into options and select Power down PC. Swapping back to the bootable CD you now can mount the the partition. Many thanks for your vidéo

[@bluesunshine420]

After plugging in the usb to the locked computer, all you have to do is reset it? I tried that and nothing happened. I wen the boot menu and secure boot is on idk if that has something to do with it.

[@peterjansen4826]

Chris, I just installed a second SSD. While working on that (partitioning, mounting with fstab, changing permissions) I got this idea: the best protection against ransomware is to use encrypted partitions, the criminals can't encrypt it if you encrypted it yourself, right? Maybe you could look into that and do a video on it. How easy or difficult is it to set up Linux with full encryption for your partitions. Do you get any performance penalty? Is there any risk? How exactly does this encryption work (not the technical process of encryption but the usage of an encrypted system)?

[@AHABNO3]

You definitely can encrypt already encrypted files, i don't know if there is something on OS level that would prevent it, but you can put encryption on top encryption on ordinary files as many times as you want, provided the fact that decrypting them would become more painful the more encryption you have

[@MatthewStinar]

If your encrypted volume is mounted, the ransomware can still encrypt your files. It's common for Linux distros to offer whole disk encryption as a simple checkbox option at install. I've had no trouble with this. With encryption acceleration built into modern CPUs, you shouldn't notice much if any performance impact.

[@peterjansen4826]

So encryption doesn't offer any protection against ransomware. Bummer. Thanks for the explanation. All right, my next attempt. Keeping the partition isolated from the external world with the exception of a particular service (Steam/Battlenet) but having full access to it on your local system. If that works then that would be a great video.

[@mitchelvalentino1569]

Don’t forget to make frequent backups. And test your backups.

[@peterjansen4826]

Chris, I installed the game Life is Strange on Linux (an ext4-partition), the performance was not good so I installed it on Windows too. It seems that playing this game on Linux (probably with OpenGL) costs me around 30-50% FPS while using the same settings, to the point that it makes the game unplayable on Linux while it is pretty well playable on Windows with my hardware (i5-750 and HD 7850) even though there clearly is some stutter because of a CPU-bottleneck. On Windows I could put MSAA on 2x and still the FPS was a lot higher. It seems that this is not one of the games which works well on Linux, unfortunately. The game has native Linux support but the developer and/or AMD put a lot less effor in supporting OpenGL than in supporting DX9 and that is being shown by the system requirements on PCGamingWiki.

[@Phydoux2112]
