If you forgot your Windows 10 password and didn’t create a reset disk, you can try a couple of options:
- Enable the hidden Administrator account: Boot into recovery mode (Shift + Restart → Troubleshoot → Advanced options → Startup Settings → Restart). Then, select Safe Mode with Command Prompt. Once there, use net user administrator /active: yes to enable the hidden admin account. Log in using it, and reset your password.
- Password reset using bootable media: You can use a bootable USB drive (like a Windows installation media) to access the command prompt and reset the password via command-line tools.
Let me know if you'd like further guidance on either of these methods!
