    No Command prompt access to reset password


    Hi, A recent Windows 10 automatic update has me completely locked out of my computer. Half of the keys on my keyboard are dead; no passwords work on the onscreen keyboard, I cannot restore the system to an earlier Restore Point or undo the latest update; it doesn't give me the option of starting in safe mode, no F-button access to Advanced Start options work, and I cannot restart in DOS/command prompt mode because getting there requires a password and it's accepting none. .

    command prompt will not open in safe mode with command prompt

    I am repairing a laptop for a friend and I need to access windows in safe mode and the owner has forgotten the password to the main user. I tried logging on with the administrator profile in safe mode but it is not showing up so I was going to use command prompt in safe mode with command prompt but command prompt will not open when I boot that option. Does anyone have any hints for me to figure this out?

    How to Reset Windows 10 Password with Command Prompt?

    I am having trouble logging into my Windows 10 computer as I have forgotten my password. I have tried several attempts to recall it, but none of them have worked. I have heard that resetting the password using Command Prompt is an effective way to regain access to the system.

    However, I am not sure how to initiate this process. I would appreciate it if someone could explain the steps required to reset Windows 10 password with Command Prompt. Thank you.
