How to Reset the Administrator Password on Windows 10

Forgetting the administrator password on Windows 10 can be frustrating, but there are several methods to regain access to your account.

The first method is to use a password reset disk if you had previously created one. Simply insert the disk into your computer and follow the on-screen instructions to reset your password.

If you didn't create a password reset disk, you can still reset the password using another administrator account. Simply login to the other account, search for 'User Accounts' in the Control Panel, and reset the password for the locked account.

Another method involves using the 'net user' command in Command Prompt. You can access Command Prompt by pressing Win + X and choosing 'Command Prompt (Admin)'. Then, you can use the command 'net user username newpassword' to reset the password.

If none of these methods work, you can also use third-party tools like Ophcrack or Offline NT Password & Registry Editor to reset the administrator password.

It's important to note that resetting the administrator password may result in loss of access to encrypted files or stored passwords, so proceed with caution.
