How to reset windows 10 password without losing data?
Hey everyone, Windows 10 asks me changing the password a couple of time sin one year. Unfortunately, I've forgotten the login password to my admin account since last change and currently locked ...
Forgetting your Windows 10 password is a real headache, especially when you're worried about losing your data. But don't worry, there are ways to safely reset your password in many cases without affecting the files or apps on your C drive.
Reset your password using "password hint questions" If you have set a password hint question, follow these steps:
- After entering the wrong password several times on the login screen, you will be prompted to reset your password. Click the "Reset Password" button.
- You need to answer the password hint question you set before. If you answer correctly, you can reset your new password.
- After entering your new password, log in again.
However, many people may not take the password hint question seriously when setting it up, so this method does not work for everyone.
