Have you forgotten your password but are already signed in on your computer?

If you are using a Windows computer and have forgotten your password but are currently signed in, you can easily find out your password using the Command Prompt. Here's how:

  1. Press Win + R to open the Run dialog box.
  2. Type cmd and press Enter to open Command Prompt.
  3. In the Command Prompt window, type net user and press Enter. This command will display a list of user accounts on the computer.
  4. To find your password, type net user [your username] (replace [your username] with your actual username) and press Enter.
  5. Look for the line that says Password Last Set to see the last time your password was set or changed.
  6. Alternatively, you can use third-party password recovery tools, but be cautious as some may pose a security risk.

It's important to keep your passwords secure and use a reliable password manager to store them safely.
