GabrielleLee Ultimate BootCD.
It is a free tool to create a bootable media with UBCD and utilizing the tools it provides to reset Windows 10 local account password. This method is particularly useful if your laptop is locked without access and need a reliable way to regain control of your system. UBCD is a comprehensive collection of diagnostic tools and utilities that can assist in various system recovery tasks, including password resets.
When your laptop boots from the UBCD, navigate through the menu to access the appropriate tools for password resetting. Generally, you will select “Parted Magic” from the main menu, which is a Linux-based environment included in UBCD that offers various system recovery utilities.
Once Parted Magic is loaded, open a terminal window. In the terminal, you will need to identify and mount your Windows partition. Run the chntpw (Offline NT Password & Registry Editor) tool by typing 'chntpw -i SAM'. This tool allows you to edit or reset passwords in the SAM file. Follow the on-screen instructions to select the user account and reset the password.
