How to Reset Windows 8 Password using Command Prompt

Forgetting your Windows 8 password can be a frustrating experience, but fortunately, there's a way to reset it using Command Prompt. Here's how you can bypass your Windows 8 password:

1. Restart your computer and boot into Safe Mode by pressing F8 before the Windows logo appears.
2. Once in Safe Mode, open Command Prompt by pressing Windows key + X and selecting 'Command Prompt (Admin)’.
3. Next, type 'net user [username] [newpassword]' and press Enter. Replace '[username]' with your actual Windows username and '[newpassword]' with the password you want to set.
4. Close Command Prompt and restart your computer. You should now be able to log in to Windows 8 using the new password.

It's important to note that this method should only be used on your own computer and not to bypass someone else's password without their permission.
