I need a best Windows 11 password reset/recovery tool - any suggestions?
- Jul 06, 2024
Let me tell you about my experience using iSeePasword Windows Password Recovery Pro tool to reset Windows 11 password.
At that time, one of my computers at home had forgotten the password for some reason and could not log in. I remember searching the Internet for many methods and finally decided to try to solve this problem through iSeePasword Windows Password Recovery Pro because it was considered a valid option in the Windows 11 password recovery tool.
Look, it shows all the accounts in my computer, then just select one user you want to reset.
SofiaRomero There is a free Windows 11 password recovery tool that comes with Windows 11 and Windows 10. It is a simple process to reset Windows 11 password with the net user command. This method is especially useful when you can't access your regular account but have another account that can run commands as an administrator. Here’s how you can reset your password step-by-step.
First, you need to log into an account that has administrative rights. If you do not have another account, you may need to use Safe Mode to access the built-in Administrator account. To do this, restart your computer and press Shift + F8 or F8 before Windows boots. Navigate to "Troubleshoot" > "Advanced options" > "Startup Settings" and then click "Restart." Once the options appear, select "Safe Mode with Command Prompt." This should log you into the built-in Administrator account if it is enabled.
Once logged into an account with administrative privileges or the built-in Administrator account, open the Command Prompt. You can do this by pressing Win + R, typing cmd, and then pressing Ctrl + Shift + Enter to open it with administrative privileges. Alternatively, you can search for cmd in the Start menu, right-click on Command Prompt, and select "Run as administrator."
In the Command Prompt, you can use the net user command to reset the password. Type ‘net user username newpassword’, replacing username with the actual username of the account you want to reset and ‘newpassword’ with the new password you want to set. For example, if the username is John and you want to set the new password to password123, you would type net user John password123 and press Enter. You should see a message indicating that the command completed successfully.
After successfully resetting the password, you can log out of the current account or restart the computer.
