  2. Recover administrator password?

    Hi

    Welcome to Microsoft community.

    If you've forgotten the administrator password on a laptop that's been upgraded from Windows 8 to Windows 10 Pro, there are several methods you can try to reset or recover the password. Please note, these methods should only be used on your own computer or with explicit permission from the owner. Here are some approaches:

    1. Password Reset Disk (If Previously Created):
      • If you created a password reset disk at any point, you can use it to reset the password. Just insert the disk or USB flash drive and follow the password reset wizard.
    2. Use Another Administrator Account:
      • If there's another account on the laptop with administrator privileges, log into that account and go to Control Panel > User Accounts > Manage another account. Select the account whose password you wish to change and then change the password.
    3. Windows Recovery Environment:
      • Restart your laptop and enter the Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE) by interrupting the boot process three times in a row (use the power button to turn off your PC as soon as the Windows logo appears).
      • Navigate to Troubleshoot > Advanced options > Startup Settings and click Restart.
      • Once restarted, press 4 or F4 to start your PC in Safe Mode.
      • In Safe Mode, you might be able to log in with the default admin account which might not have a password set. From there, you can access the Control Panel and reset the password for your administrator account.
    4. Reset Your PC:
      • If you're unable to recover the administrator password, consider resetting the PC. This can be done from the Windows Recovery Environment by navigating to Troubleshoot > Reset this PC. This will give you the option to keep your files but will remove apps and settings.
    5. Third-Party Tools:
      • There are third-party bootable tools available that can help you reset a Windows password. However, using third-party tools can come with risks, and it's important to download them from reputable sources.
    6. Microsoft Account:
      • If your administrator account is linked to a Microsoft account, you can reset your password online by visiting the Microsoft password reset page.
    It's important to regularly back up your data and create a password reset disk or recovery options for situations like these.

    Let me know if you need further assistance.

    Best regards
