I forgot my laptop password

Hi! Koushik Bellamkonda,

Welcome to the Microsoft Community!

I realize that you've encountered a problem with Forgot your laptop password and I understand how you feel.

According to your description, you are currently unable to successfully log on to Windows right, please point out if I have misunderstood.

For this problem, you can reset the password in the account you currently forgot your password in by using another administrator user. Considering that you may not have another administrator account, I will first show you how to create a new administrator account using the command line.

1.First try to enter WinRe according to the specific steps below：

Hold down the power button for 10 seconds to turn off your device.

1. Hold down the power button for 10 seconds to turn off your device.
   

1. Press the power button again to turn on your device.
   

1. On the first sign that Windows has started (for example, some devices show the manufacturer’s logo when restarting) hold down the power button for 10 seconds to turn off your device.
   

1. Press the power button again to turn on your device.
   

1. When Windows restarts, hold down the power button for 10 seconds to turn off your device.
   

1. Press the power button again to turn on your device.
   

1. Allow your device to restart into Automatic Repair, and select Advanced options to enter WinRe.
   

On the Choose an option screen, select Troubleshoot > Advanced options.

2.On the "Advanced options" interface, select "Command Prompt",and enter the following commands one by one:

-net user UserName Password /add



-net localgroup administrators UserName /add



("UserName" is the new user account name, and "Password" is the password of the user, you can customize them. )

After completing the above steps, please log in to Windows with your newly created administrator account and go through the following steps to reset your account for which you have previously forgotten your password:

1. Press Win+X and select Computer Management from the list.

2. Click Local User and Groups > Users > select the account you forgot your password for and right click on it > select set Password, reset the password for this account.







Feel free to post back if you need further assistance.

Thank you for your understanding and patience and I look forward to hearing from you.
