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

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!

Anything doesn’t work with me that I have tried but this video works but you have to follow all the steps correctly thanks a lot 🙏

I cannot thank you enough. This saved me from having to reset my computer. You are a true PC guru. THANK YOU!

It still worked for me 2024 September, Well Done appreciated

This worked for me 1st try, I just followed the instructions step by step. Thanks for the vid, I’ll subscribe.

Dell wanted me to pay $100 to reset password. This worked the first time! Thank you so much!

I highly recommend this tutorial. I recently have this issue with my pc. This video helps me to solve the problem.

I followed your video and used windows installer USB to go into command prompt. Managed to reset my kid window password. Big thank you to your guide.

The cmd not opening after restart plsss help

Thanks alot. Seriously. Have been trying from months to remove the forgotten password. Have referred various other fake videos and non of them worked. Thanks alot brother.

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.

I am a computer idiot -- and I had to stop and start multiple times - - HOWEVER, I have removed the password and reset a new password. THANK YOU!

Thanks bro I watch many videos but they didn't work but your method is awesome theanks to you bro love you I am form Pakistan

This worked for me. It's just the perfect instructions. Thank you.

This is the real stuff; not all those tutorial teaching people to reinstall OS as a solution 💪

God bless your soul The only video that was so clear in describing what to do and what to press and it worked!!! After 11 years I got into my old laptop 🙏🏽

Thank you very much! I appreciate it!

Awesome Dude!!!! There was one or two slight changes from your description (probably just newer update to windows) but it worked and I got back into my computer! Thanks!

IT DEFINITELY WORKS!!! Thank you!!! 😅 you're a life saver, had to force restart cause it just kept showing the cmd.exe box and loading.🤗🙏

Thanks a lot, for some reason when I restarted my PC today, I had to type in a password instead of my pin code, so I couldn't come in, this helped me a lot 💪❤️

So glad I found out your video man. I just follow step-by-step and Alhamdulillah. I can open administrator

Omg!! Thank you thank you thank you you saved me ..😭😭😭

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!

I try it works. Thank you

Thank you. You saved me a whole lot of stress formatting this pc. Thank you this worked! 💃🏼

Thanks brother 😄😄😄 it worked for me finally i found all my files 😘

Thanks. Was of great help. Keep it up

whaou, this video was very helpfull to me after trying many ways without success. thanks alot

is it possible to know what your forgotten password was instead of removing it? thanks in advance.

It took me twice doing it but it worked, so thank you very much. The best way is your way for sure.

Thank you so much, you saved my life

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.

Has worked. Thanks a lot 👍🏼

Thank You so much.....Absolutely brilliant. Worked like a Charm....Every Repair shop I called told I would have to format it...But this is just next level genius.

Great video and almost worked for me. After unloading the HIVE and closing the command prompt, my laptop did restart but the prompt was gone and it went straight back to the windows login screen I forgot the details for. I followed each step carefully. Any idea what the issue is? Please and thanks

This one helped me. I had a pin-code but forgot the pw. Running cmd in admin mode was enough to successfully use the net user command. Thanks. A message to MSof: why dissatisfy so many users with this complex structure in order to create customer lock-in; while the backdoor is wide open. Everybody loses.

THANK YOU! Can't tell you how helpful this was

Many other videos do not work. Yours does. Thank you

Worked for me. Thanks for saving my time

Many many thanks, I opened my laptop without loosing any data

This why I hate Microsoft!you pay gobs of money for a pc yet you can use it if something happens to your pin. I have had other frustrations with the pc that is not of my own doing . We have bought 5 Macs in the last 10 years that have never given us any nightmares!

Great video! I have to use this method to reset the password as the system keep asking for password when I tried other method. Thank you so much.

Brother! after entered password command showing "the system is not authoritative for the specified account and ......... please help me to solve the issue 🙏🏻

Thank you so much and appreciate your helpful step by step tutorial.

I try but after i restart it it keeps loading and loading!!! Restarting and restarting ? Why?? Please

Thanks it worked. I was only able to log with oline ms acc . now my local account is fixed

My computer started back at the windows logo and the dots keeps circling

Thank you so much! I love this tutorial. It's so clear and you made it very easy.

Cannot thank you enough!!!!

This helped me with a user locked out of Windows 10 21H2, thank you so much.

For method-3: It would be nice to do all the registry hive mods from command line as well, without having to open regedit. Then script it, so you could just run a bat or ps file to do the work.

Awesome2024!works with my windows 10 usb to reset the cmd password prompt. Thank you!

...(sorry)

Sorry, we can't access to the any option when I am in Advanced Options. it requires a PASS. maybe your way is old before the Microsoft is update this trick

Thank G saved my day!!

WAHH THANK YOU SO MUCH I WAS SO CLOSE TO GOING TO THE SHOP TO REPAIR THANK YOU BROO

Thanks very much sir,, is working fir me..🙏🙏🙏🙏

Super sir I almost died with the stress Because of you I opened my pc thanks a lot thank you so much ❤🎉

Excellent! It worked.

Thak you for this!

OMG IT WORKS IN 2022 😭😭😭 Omg 😱😱😱😭😭😭😭😭 IT WORKS,,, OMGGGGG I LOVE U BROTHER,,, 😭😭😭😭😭 U SAVED MY LIFE 😭😭😭😭😭😭 FROM BANGLADESH

Excellent sir , wonderful and useful video

Thanks so much buddy. 👍👍💪Everything works just fine

Very concise video, great job! Question: The "user name: on the pc I am helping a user with is "John Doe", but John Doe does not show when executing net user, only Administrator and Guest. I assume that John Doe is an administrator on this PC but cannot change the "Administrator" password using net user as access is denied. What are my next steps?

You are not a superman but you have super powers🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗love you man

Method #1 not works for me. I tried method #2 but I used Non-Bootable Flash Drive but not working. Should I used Bootable Usb sir??

this worked for me using win 10 USB bootable - thank you so much

On the last step, an error occourd say 8646, any advice?, It says system is not authoritataive for the specified acct

If your "net user" doesn't show your username, try this step: on cmd type: "net user administrator /random" (without the " ) Then it should randomize the password for you. My condition: I never set up admin password before, and one day i need to put password. So, i try this and works

OMG! THANK YOU for this video

I got 2 questions , after this method i can see my files from recycle bin? The next one : this method works if the c partition is fully encrypted by veracrypt?

So will this delete the pin on other systems?

Woah! Thanks a lot! This helped :>
