Lost My Administrator Password

To which "this" are you referring?
- If you are following the tutorial Bree suggested in the very first reply to your question then what you need to do at each step is explained in detail. So which step are you at?
- If you are following a different procedure then state what it is and which step you are at. If, for example, you are trying to manually enable the Built-In Admin as suggested in post #11 then that account has no password.

Only have remote desktop sessions password protected

Thank you all for your suggestions.

Turns out there is a solution that does not require to enable the built in vpn-server.

• run "netplwiz"
  
• uncheck "Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer."
  

You now don't need to enter the password and the login screen is bypassed on boot up. If you connect via remote-desktop you'll have to provide the credentials as usual. Just keep in mind that you'll have to reboot the computer after a remote desktop session as otherwise the computer asks the person infront of it for credentials.

 

New computer requiring password?

Hi James,

I suggest you to try the steps below and check if it helps.

Once logged in, press Ctrl + Alt + Del and click "change a password".

- Leave the "current password" box empty.

- Enter the new/preferred password and save the changes.

If you are able to set the password, log in using that password and press Windows key + R.

- Type netplwiz and press enter.

- Check "users must enter a username and password to use this computer" and save the changes.

- Save the changes.

Let us know the result, we will be glad to help if you need further assistance.
