    forgotten my only administrative account password


    ok so i have three usable accounts on my computer but only one of them has administrative privileges. one day i was playing around with command prompt and doing the net user command but i think i typed in the command to change this password beachside the next day i tried to sign in and couldn't. Can someone please help me either reset my password or if there's a way to view all command prompt history then that would help too. Now before anyone replies i don't have admin, plus i cannot use safe mode with networking/command prompt or just normal safe mode ok?plz help soonthanks in advance that'

    Local Accounts Forgotten Passwords

    Administrator should not be listed after that net user Administrator /active:no command was run.

    Just reboot to make sure everything has worked through - and just sign in to one account not more than one. Choose either G3YAQ or VE2KM

    Administrator forgotten password to account

    Hi,

    "What to do if you forget your Windows 8/8.1 password"

    Change or reset your Windows password

    If you've forgotten your Windows password, there are several ways to retrieve or reset it:

    • If your PC is on a domain, your system administrator must reset your password.
    • If you're using a Microsoft account, you can reset your password online. For more info, go to the

      Reset your password       webpage.
    • If you're using a local account, use your password hint as a reminder.
    If you've tried these suggestions and still can't sign in:

    • If you have Windows 8.1, you'll need to reinstall Windows.
    • If you have Windows RT 8.1, you'll need to contact your PC manufacturer.

    Microsoft forbids any assistance being given in these Forums to help you bypass or "crack" lost or forgotten Passwords.
