What if you have forgotten your Windows password?

The Windows login password is one of the most important passwords we have remembered, and if you have lost it, the whole world can simply appear out of reach.

From a security point of view, these messages are really scary. But there are legitimate reasons to use the following tips, and none of them will allow a criminal connection without your knowledge (the password will be changed, not transmitted) or have access to encrypted data.

Reset your Microsoft account password

The fastest and easiest way to return to Windows after losing your password is to reset it online………… but only if you have Windows 10 or Windows 8 and only if you use a Microsoft account to log in. If this does not describe your situation, move on to the next idea.

Because you use your Microsoft account as your Windows 10/8 ID and because Microsoft manages these accounts online, you can reset your lost Windows 10 or Windows 8 password from any browser, computer or device, including your smartphone.

Access the computer as an “administrator”.

On Windows, there is a hidden account called Administrator. In most cases, this account does not have a defined password.

This means that you can start your computer with this account, open the Control Panel to delete or change the password of all users and solve your problem.

It only takes a few steps to get there:

1. Start your computer and immediately press the F8 key until your computer displays the boot menu.
2. Use the arrow keys to select Safe Mode and press Enter.
3. On the Home screen, click Administrator.
4. If you do not have a home screen, type Administrator and leave the Password field blank.
5. Click on the Start menu in the lower left corner, go to the Control Panel, and then you can easily change all user passwords in user accounts.

This method may or may not work depending on the operating system you are using.

Reset the Windows 10 password with MSDaRT

DaRT (Microsoft Diagnostics and Recovery Toolset) is a set of Microsoft tools that helps IT professionals recover computers that have become unusable. Start your computer with the DaRT Recovery CD, then launch the integrated Locksmith Wizard tool, which allows you to reset the Windows 10 password for any local account.

Unfortunately DaRT is not free. This tool is only available for Microsoft Volume clients, TechNet Plus and MSDN subscribers.

CONCLUSION

Of course, all these steps are only necessary if you have not already followed our various instructions to create a backup password reset disk, either from the standard Windows program or via a Ubuntu-based recovery tool installed on a CD or USB stick.
