How can I reset windows 11 password using command prompt

If you can't enter Windows 11 and don't have administrator privileges, you can use Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE) to reset Windows 11 password using command prompt. This method does not require additional tools and relies entirely on the system's built-in functions!

If your computer can still enter advanced startup options, try this:

1. Shift + Restart, enter Troubleshooting → Advanced Options → Command Prompt
2. Enter the following command to replace utilman.exe with CMD:

move c:\windows\system32\utilman.exe c:\windows\system32\utilman.exe.bak

copy c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe c:\windows\system32\utilman.exe

   4. Restart the computer, click Accessibility (the little man icon) on the login screen, and CMD will pop up!

  5. Run this command to change the password:

net user your username new password

After success, restore the original utilman.exe (return to CMD and enter again):

copy c:\windows\system32\utilman.exe.bak c:\windows\system32\utilman.exe

Now you can log in with the new password!
