How to Change a Lost Computer Password

When a Windows-based computer is booted in Safe Mode, it is generally necessary to enter the Administrator password for the computer to continue. Unfortunately, the Administrator password is easily fo

rgotten, making it impossible to log into the Windows Administrator account. However, any account with administrative privileges can be used to reset the password of any other account in Windows. Use the Windows command prompt to reset the password for your computer's Administrator account, or any lost password.

Instructions

1)Boot Windows normally. Log in to your computer using any account with administrative privileges.

2)Press the Windows logo and "R" keys on the keyboard simultaneously. The "Run" box appears.

3)Type "cmd" without the quotation marks in the Run box, and hit "Enter." The Windows command prompt appears.

4)Type "net user (user name) (password)" at the command prompt and hit "Enter." For example, if you want to change the Administrator password to "password," type "net user Administrator password." Substitute the username of your choice if you would like to reset a password other than the one for the Administrator account.

5)Restart your computer and log in to Windows using the new password you chose.
