How to Reset Windows 10 Tablet without Password

Resetting a Windows 10 Tablet Without Password

Forgetting your Windows 10 tablet password can be frustrating, but there are solutions to help you regain access without the need for a password reset disk. Follow these steps to reset your Windows 10 tablet without a password:

1. Use Another Admin Account: If you have another admin account on the tablet, you can use it to reset the password of the locked account. Simply log in with the admin account, go to 'Settings' > 'Accounts' > 'Family & other users' and select the locked account. Click on 'Change password' and follow the on-screen instructions.
2. Reset Microsoft Account Password: If your Windows 10 tablet is linked to a Microsoft account, you can reset your Microsoft account password online. Go to the Microsoft account password reset page on a different device, enter your email or phone number, and follow the prompts to reset your password. Once done, use the new password to log in to your tablet.
3. Use Safe Mode: You can also try accessing your tablet in Safe Mode to reset the password. Restart your tablet, press 'Shift + Restart' at the login screen to enter the Advanced Boot Options menu, select 'Troubleshoot' > 'Advanced options' > 'Startup Settings' > 'Restart'. When the tablet restarts, press F4 or 4 to start in Safe Mode. From here, you can change the password through 'Control Panel' > 'User Accounts'.

By following these steps, you can reset your Windows 10 tablet without needing the original password. Remember to create a password reset disk or backup your credentials for future security measures.
