As my experience tells me, many Windows 10 users, after installing it, disable the login password so as not to constantly enter it when turning on the PC.
After some time, some kind of failure may occur, after which the operating system again begins to request authorization. And the user forgot his account password Windows entries 10! Or he didn’t know him at all - the installation was done by a friend, neighbor or on-call technician. So what should I do? How to log into your computer?! There are two ways out.
First - reinstalling Windows. But at the same time, you may lose data stored on the system partition.
Second - try to reset forgotten password Administrator or the login you use. This is what we will talk about today.
First, let me remind you that in Windows 10 two types of accounts can be used:
1) Local account
2) Microsoft account
I will tell you in detail about password recovery for both cases.
Reset Windows 10 password
To perform this procedure, you will first need a bootable USB flash drive or installation disk, from which you need to boot. After selecting the OS installation language, you should see the following window:
Select the “Diagnostics” section and go to the following menu:
Here you need to select the item “ Extra options" A third menu will appear:
Click on the “Command Line” item. After this, a regular command line with Administrator rights will launch, which will help us reset the password Windows user 10 if he forgot it.
But it’s not so easy to do this from an installation flash drive - the installed OS must be loaded first. But you can’t launch the command line from the Windows authorization menu! What should I do? Here we will resort to a stratagem - we will replace the accessibility utility utilman.exe. To do this, enter the command:
move c:\windows\system32\utilman.exe c:\windows\system32\utilman2.exe
This is what we will do first backup copy this utility file utilman2.exe. He will then allow you to return its functionality back.
Now let's copy executable file cmd.exe to the utilman.exe file with the following command:
copy c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe c:\windows\system32\utilman.exe
Now, when you try to launch the Accessibility Wizard, the console will open with Administrator rights.
We reboot and launch Windows 10 in normal mode.
As soon as the authorization window appears, click on this icon in the lower right corner:
We click on it and, if all previous steps were performed correctly, we get a command line window:
Net user username password
In it, instead of username, you need to enter the name of your account, instead of password - New Password To her. For example, like this:
Net user setos 1234321
Press the Enter key. Now you can close the console window and try to log in to the system.
Comment:
1) If suddenly you forgot not only the password, but also the user name itself, then you can see it in the list of system users. To do this, enter the command net user. All users will appear with a description of the role of each of them.
2) If you need the accessibility tool, then remember to start your PC again with bootable flash drive or disk and return the utilman.exe utility back. To do this you need to enter the following command:
copy c:\windows\system32\utilman2.exe c:\windows\system32\utilman.exe
After this, it should function as before again.
Recovering your Microsoft account password
Now let's discuss what to do when you forgot your Windows 10 password with a Microsoft account. Then you will have to look for another computer with Internet access to access the site login.live.com. There you need to enter your login (this is either an email address or a phone number) and click on the “Next” button.
Now you need to pass verification. The most convenient option is to receive a verification code by email or answer a security question (if you remember the answer, of course).
The most extreme option is to click on “I don’t have this data.” Then you will restore authorization by contacting Microsoft technical support and following their instructions.
In any of these cases, the solution will be a link to the page for changing your password. You will receive a link to change your password. When entering a new one, you will need to meet all the requirements - the length of the key phrase must consist of numbers, letters and no shorter than 8 characters.
And only after all these misadventures will you be able to remove your forgotten password and successfully log into your computer! Good luck!
