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 ...
Of course. The safest and most reliable method is to use a free bootable tool like Offline NT Password & Registry Editor.
Here’s the short version of what you do:
- On a working computer, download the tool and create a bootable USB drive.
- Boot your locked computer from that USB drive.
- The tool will guide you to clear the local admin password without touching any of your personal files or programs.
- This method is safe and doesn't cause data loss, as it only modifies the password file. Just be sure to follow the on-screen instructions carefully
