If you have forgotten laptop password Windows 10 and do not have a password reset disk or a Microsoft account to reset your password, you can try to enable the built-in administrator account to restore access. This is a hidden account that comes with the Windows system, usually without a password, and has the highest permissions, allowing you to manage the system and reset the password. Here are the detailed steps:
- Enter Recovery Mode: Hold down the Shift key at startup, click Restart, go to **"Troubleshoot"** → "Advanced Options" → "Startup Settings" → select **"Enable Safe Mode"**.
- Enable the built-in Administrator account: In Safe Mode, if the built-in Administrator account has not been disabled, you can enable it by entering the following command through the Command Prompt (Shift + F10):
net user administrator /active: yes
You can then restart the computer and log in with the Administrator account.
