Resetting Windows 10 Password without USB: A Simple Guide

Forgetting the password to your Windows 10 computer can be frustrating, but don't worry, there are ways to reset it without using a USB drive. One common method is using the 'netplwiz' command in Command Prompt. Here's how you can do it:

1. Press Windows key + R to open the Run dialog box.
2. Type netplwiz and press Enter to open the User Accounts window.
3. Uncheck the box that says 'Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer'.
4. Click Apply and enter your current password to confirm.
5. Click OK, and you will no longer need to enter a password to log in to your Windows 10 account.

It's important to note that this method will not actually change your password; it simply bypasses the login screen. If you want to change your password, you will need to do so through the Settings app.
