Windows 10: I forgot my Windows 10 login password and secret questions. I'm trying to reset the...

I need to reset my computer from the Login screen since I accidentally deleted my PIN and I apparently don't remember the password or secret questions. I press Rese, hold shift > Troubleshoot > Reset the PC > Remove Everything.The computer screen goes blank, but the PC does not power off. The screen stays blank, nothing ever happens. I've waited hours and overnight, nothing. I power the PC off and back on, and the PC acts like I've done nothing as far as Reset. What am I doing wrong? How can I reset my PC?

Forgot Windows 10 password...

For future reference, there have been reports that this was patched out several weeks back. I found an alternative method doing some registry diving.

Forgot Windows 10 password...

Just for future reference, you don't need ntpasswordreset to do this. You just have to boot off the Windows install media(it can even be a Win8 media). Then hit shift+f10 to get a command prompt. Use the command prompt to rename c:/windows/system32/utilman.exe to utilman.bak, then copy cmd.exe to utilman.exe. Reboot into Windows and hit the little easy of access button on the login screen. Enjoy your command prompt with admin level access. You can now use the net user command to reset your password.

This work on UEFI or legacy installs.
