  1. Correct admin password and pin not working


    Hello, Today I tried to log into my Admin account on my PC but 1. The pin prompt shows as unavailable and 2. The password I enter does not work, even though it is 100% correct. I tried changing it from my windows account settings, but it still happens. I am able to log into another account on my computer but it doesn't have admin rights so I don't know how I can even begin to fix this without wiping all my stuff from my computer.I can't use command prompt as an admin nor do a system restore from the recovery environment since that asks for my admin password, which does not work.Any help is app

    :)

    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.
