How to Access Command Prompt in Windows 8 If You've Forgotten Your Password

If you've forgotten your Windows 8 password, don't worry, there is still a way to access the Command Prompt and potentially reset your password. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you navigate through this situation:

1. Restart your computer in Safe Mode by holding the Shift key and clicking on Restart.
2. Once the Advanced Boot Options menu appears, select Troubleshoot, then Advanced Options, followed by Command Prompt.
3. When the Command Prompt window opens, type 'net user' to see a list of user accounts on the system.
4. To reset your password, type 'net user ' replacing with your actual username and with the new password you want to set.
5. Restart your computer and log in with your new password.

It's important to note that this method may not work for Microsoft accounts synced with your Windows 8 login. In such cases, you may need to use a password reset tool or contact Microsoft support for assistance.
