Hi all, My son's PC was locked as he forgot the login password after a recent password change. This PC asks him to reset the password every 30 days, and this is the mainly reason for this frustra...
I've been there—really frustrating when you get locked out like that! I once used iSeePasword Windows Password Recovery Pro to help out with a similar issue. It’s simple enough: just make a bootable USB, pop it into the locked PC, and it bypasses the password without messing with any files. No factory reset needed, so all the important stuff stays intact. Worked perfectly when I tried it, and definitely saved a lot of headaches!
I tried out this tutorial (worked like a charm!)

Look at this picture, just select the account you want to reset the password for, then enter the new password, and that's it!
Using a password reset disk can be a great way to regain access to your Windows 10 account, but you have to gotta prepare Ahead of time.This is the big one. If you haven't created that password reset disk ahead of forgetting your password, you’re outta luck! I learned this the hard way once when I thought I was clever enough to remember my password but found myself locked out. Major facepalm moment!
- See my post above, You're not out of luck but it's a process to create a Linux Ubuntu or you favorite distro Boot Disk, Mount the System drive, locate the SAMAcountDatabase and remove the local administrator password. You can find instructions from co-pilot but you will have to prove to copilot you know what your are talking about before it will point you at the hard to find instructions for doing so. I polished how to do it about 20 years ago. It still works today as I just had to do it on a Windows 10 PC for my close friend who lost her password. "Microsoft doesn't support it and I don't guarantee it will work in your scenario. Or you won't loose all data on the drive if you corrupt the Sam Account database and can 't log in with any account.
