    Old Admin locked down pc, lost password cannot reset


    Is there a way to reset an admin password without any admin privileges on a remote pc as everything is virtually locked down without the password someone else added and lost. Tried all the ideas I had but nothing works

    • If you've forgotten your Windows password, there are several ways to retrieve or reset it:
      • If your PC is on a domain, your system administrator must reset your password.
      • If you're using a Microsoft account, you can reset your password online. ...
      • If you're using a local account, use your password hint as a reminder.

    Lost password on an Old Account, any way to merge accounts?

    Site was pwnd not so long ago resulting in a general member password reset
    so unless you reset your password since then your old account password wont work.
    Try contacting one of the admins to see if they can help you out
