How to Reset Administrative Password Windows 8.1

Resetting the Administrative Password on Windows 8.1

Forgetting the administrative password on your Windows 8.1 system can be a frustrating experience, but there are several methods you can try to regain access to your account.

Method 1: Using Password Reset Disk

If you created a password reset disk before getting locked out, you can use it to reset your password. Insert the password reset disk and follow the prompts to create a new password.

Method 2: Safe Mode

Restart your computer and press F8 before the Windows logo appears. Select 'Safe Mode' and log in with the built-in Administrator account. Go to Control Panel > User Accounts and change the password for your account.

Method 3: Command Prompt

Boot your computer from a Windows installation disk or USB drive. Select 'Repair your computer' > 'Troubleshoot' > 'Command Prompt'. Use the 'net user' command to reset your password.

Remember to create a password reset disk or set up alternate sign-in options to avoid getting locked out of your account in the future.
