    Admin password reset for Win 10


    Hi

    I was talking to my brother the other day and seems our father is getting some senility as he is over 70 and he seems to have forgotten his win 10 password so he can not get logged into his computer. I know they can use my brothers computer to access any email he might be sent but not 100% as I guess again it depends if he remembers his email password???

    Anyways is there a way I can explain to my brother as to how to help my father recover his password so he can get logged back in again.

    Also should they not be able to get logged into my fathers email for any recovery emails that might be set out is there any other way they can recover it. I do not know if he has any phone numbers added to the account so not sure if a secure text is possible or not so factor that in in any response.

    And I just know it's windows 10 am not sure what version of Win 10.

    Thanks

    :)

    WIN 10 Admin password not working.


    This really helped and the Hibernate problem was put to rest, however the pswd is not reset. I am following the default option in NT and at some point it is just cycling around, until i choose to quite. I can see the admin has been selected and some attempts are made to clear the register. I says the pswd appears to be blank and suggest to log in with blank pswd. Also when quitting, it asked to write the changes to the disk - y. But when tested later, there still is a password.
    The program looks pretty neat though.

    Some steps from me: on the pc is a guest acc, so no password. This is still something, then i achieve to get to the Recovery and restart. Now I have tried various options like run Safe mode with Command prompt and type the bcdedit command, which is access denied. Option 2 to run just the command prompt also failed, because ask for admin password.

    Guys, is there any way to get rid of the Safe mode from the recovery/ troubleshoot/ advanced options without the admin password?????

    I found this whole story to be really, really big safety issue for this windows. If the only option is to log in to safe mode with the password(no pin) why the hell, they do not ask for it when switching it on?! Poor programming from everywhere! Also some restriction are easy to go around - after couple of days playing around on this issue.
