    How do I fix a forgotten local account password?


    I have forgotten my local account password, how can I fix this?I can get into my online account and sign in to my PC using a pin but I can't access my PC with the password.For some reason the online account password is different to the local account password. The only option windows is giving me to recover my password is to use a USB reset disk and to do this I need to know my current password!

    :)

    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
