How to reset windows 10 password without losing data?
Enabling the hidden administrator account can be a security risk when you reset Windows 10 password, as it creates an additional vulnerability that could be exploited by hackers. Think of it like leaving a spare key under your doormat - it's convenient, but also makes it easier for someone to get in without permission. When you enable the hidden administrator account, you're essentially creating a new account with the same privileges as the original admin account. This means that any changes made to the system configuration or files during the password reset process might not be saved or could be overwritten. So, if you're not careful, you might lose important data or settings.
Safe mode or command prompt can be finicky, and enabling the hidden administrator account might cause system instability or even crashes. If your system is already struggling with performance issues, this could make things worse.
