How to Reset Admin Password in Windows 10

Forgetting your Windows 10 admin password can happen to anyone, causing frustration and inconvenience. However, there are steps you can take to reset your admin password and regain access to your computer.

Method 1: Use Another Admin Account

If you have another admin account on the same computer, you can use it to reset the password. Simply log in to the other admin account, go to 'Settings,' then 'Accounts,' and select 'Sign-in options.' Under 'Password,' click on 'Change' and follow the prompts to reset the password.

Method 2: Use Password Reset Disk

If you created a password reset disk before forgetting your password, you can use it to reset the admin password. Insert the password reset disk, click 'Reset password,' and follow the instructions to create a new password.

Method 3: Use Safe Mode

You can also reset your admin password using Safe Mode. Restart your computer and press 'F8' repeatedly before the Windows logo appears. Select 'Safe Mode with Command Prompt,' then enter 'net user username newpassword' (replace 'username' with your admin username and 'newpassword' with the new password).

These methods should help you reset your Windows 10 admin password and regain access to your computer. Remember to create a password reset disk or keep track of your passwords to avoid such situations in the future.
