How to reset windows 10 password without losing data?

I have helped a friend with this method of resetting the password using the built-in administrator account before, and it worked very well. In fact, there is a hidden "Administrator" account in Windows 10, which is disabled by default, but we can activate it through safe mode or command prompt and use it to reset windows 10 password .

1. Press and hold the Shift key on the login screen and click Restart.

2. Go to Troubleshooting > Advanced Options > Command Prompt.

3. Enter the following command to enable the built-in administrator account:

net user administrator /active:yes

4. Restart the computer and select the "Administrator" account to log in.
5. After successful login, go to Control Panel > User Accounts, select your original account and change the password.

6. After resetting windows 10 password password, remember to disable the administrator account again:

net user administrator /active:no

This method solves the problem by enabling the hidden administrator account without affecting the data.
