  1. How to recover the system administrator password (not the Microsoft Account Password) in...


    I changed the computer name to remove spaces from its title (via user accounts). This has resulted in the sign-on screen only allowing access to "Administrator" and "another_user". I did not set any passwords during the installation and "upgrade" to Windows 10 home (from bought version), but blank spaces do not work to gain access (to Admin profile). I can access the computer (PB 1xtreme M5850) via the account on the other user's profile, but can't access anything where "administrator" privileges are required (e.g. toggling to WindowsPowerShell (admin), or running as admin on command prompt. Please help.

    :)

      • If you're using a local account, use your password hint as a reminder.
