Windows 10: I have forgotten my password and PIN for my Windows 10 logon, and cannot access my desktop.

I have forgotten my password and PIN for my Windows 10 logon, and cannot access my desktop. Suggestions have been to type commands in the Command Prompt screen, but I cannot do that. There is nowhere to type a command. When I click on the Command Prompt button in Troubleshoot/Advance Options, it keeps taking me to a password prompt. How can I access a command screen that actually allows me to type the suggested commands to reset my Windows 10 logon password password? I notice many people have asked a similar question, but the answers seem to disregard that no matter what is done, we are taken

Forgotten PIN and expired password

Hi Dyari,

Thanks for your answer.

I tried steps of both links:

• #1: reset PIN code
  
  • I see no link "reset your PIN"on login page --> I can't reset it
    
• #2: change or reset windows password
  
  • My Windows account is not displayed at all on login page.
    
  • I am using a local account
    

If you have any other suggestion, I would be more than happy to try.

Regards,

Guillaume

 

PIN for Logon forgotten

MS Folks,

Have forgotten my Laptop logon PIN. I've made too many attempts to login and now I don't have an option for 'Forgot Password'. I go in a loop, inputting 'A1B2C3' to prove I am not a bot, and then when I fail to input the first attempt correctly I am told to reboot and try again.

Kindly assist.

Thank you, Brandon Buckner
