Windows 10: OK, man, how to re-enter UEFI without your admin password? I forgot my pwd, tho...

OK, guys, time to get supa serious. My UEFI password, I forgot it. I'm a child too, and I don't dare taking out CMOS, though. Plus, my PC is a Thin GF63 12VE, which, yeah, doesn't have a CPU. So what now? How do I disable UEFI password without removing CMOS?

:)

 

admin password?

You can reset the Admin Password using Windows XP repair; See Here for step by step.

Forgot admin password

Hi,

Thank you for posing your response.

As you are in a state were your account is completely inaccessible, I suggest that you try to access in build admin account and check if you are able to access the desktop.

To access the in built administrator account follow the steps below

Step 1: Follow the steps to enable Built-in Administrator account:

• As you are stuck min Safe Mode, in the sign-in
  screen, press and hold shift key and click on the
  power icon. Here click on Restart and then Restart now.
• Type: net user administrator /active:yes (To enable Built –in Administrator account give the command Active: No).
• Then press ENTER.

Step 2: From Built-in Administrator account give Administrator rights to your user account:

• Press Windows Key + X key and click Control Panel.
• Click on User account.
• Click on Manage another account.
• Click on your user account.
• Click on reset the password.
• Restart the computer and check if you are able to login.

Note: Once done exist the build in admin account by typing the command
net user administrator /active:no

Hope this helps

 

no admin box to enter pwd

to all

I no longer have access to my user account which as the admin right on my laptop. Only one acoutn is accessible

Every time one needs to do a task requiring admin right the box to enter the pwd is not visible/available

tried accessing the users account via the ‘Computer Management’ but I cannot see them. I believe there should be an option ‘Local Users and Groups’

Any idea what is the problem?

Thanks
