Can anyone recommend a Windows 10 password reset tool USB?

I'm having a bit of trouble and I hope everyone here can help me. I recently forgot my Windows 10 computer password and I tried several methods but none of them worked. I heard that I can use some kind of Windows 10 password reset tool to reset my password, but I don't know much about it.

 

If anyone knows of any good Windows 10 password reset / recovery tool USB, please let me know. I'm looking forward to your recommendations, thank you!

 

PS: I really should have made a password reset disk before. I didn't expect to forget my password at that time, so I didn't prepare it in advance, and now I really regret it.

    If you forgot your Windows 10 login password and don't have a password reset disk created, you can try using Microsoft's online password reset feature. This method is applicable if your account is a Microsoft account.

    Hey there! Forgetting your Windows 10 password can be such a headache—I’ve been there! For a solid solution, you might want to check out iSeePasword Windows Password Recovery Tool. It lets you reset your password by creating a bootable USB, which can get you back into your system quickly.

     

    I followed this tutorial: (gain access to my PC successfully)

    Super handy if you didn’t make a password reset disk earlier (I'v all been there). Give it a shot, and hope it works out for you!

    CharlesTaylor Many users sign in Windows 10 with a Microsoft account. If you were the one and still had the recovery email or phone number, then reset Microsoft account password online. 

     

    Open your web browser and go to the Microsoft account password reset page. You will see three options: "I forgot my password," "I know my password, but can't sign in," and "I think someone else is using my Microsoft account." Select "I forgot my password" and click Next.


    Enter the email address associated with your Microsoft account. You can also use your phone number or Skype ID.  Choose the verification method and follow the instructions to receive the code. Enter the security code you received and click Next.


    Once your identity is verified, you will be prompted to create a new password. Enter the new password, confirm it, and click Next. After that, you can now use your new password to sign in to your Microsoft account.

     

    This is the best way to unlock a locked computer without using any Windows 10 password reset tool or USB!

    In my case. The built-in Windows 10 password reset tool is an excellent solution for forgotten passwords, offering a convenient, easy-to-use, and safe way to regain access to your account without compromising your system or data.

    I've also had the bad experience of forgetting my Windows login password before. At that time, I used the login method associated with a Microsoft account, so I tried the Microsoft account password reset method instead of making Windows 10 password reset USB tool.

     

    1. Open a browser on any device and visit the Microsoft password reset page. (https://account.live.com/password/reset )
    2. Enter the Microsoft account email address you use to log in to Windows on the page.
    3. Microsoft will provide several ways to verify your identity, such as receiving a verification code through the associated email or mobile phone number. Choose the most convenient method.
    4. Depending on the verification method you chose, check the verification code (email or SMS), and then enter it on the web page.
    5. After the verification is successful, you will have the opportunity to set a new password. Choose a password that is both secure and easy to remember.
    6. After completing the password reset, return to your Windows device and try to log in with the newly set password.

    The whole process was much simpler and faster than I expected. This method is really convenient, especially when your account is associated with a Microsoft account. As long as you remember your Microsoft account information, you can basically recover your password smoothly.
