Windows 10: Unable to Perform Auto Repair - No account Password

Hi,

Is there any option to retrieve my Microsoft account password history in order to perform a troubleshooting/recovery of my Windows 10? I forgot my password and after the reset there is no option to use it on the failed PC since it's offline.

If there is no option, I'm in an endless loop - cannot perform the operating system recovery even from the provided recourse DVD,

Thanks,

:)

 

admin password?

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

Win10 stuck on choose your keyboard layout during auto repair

Hi,

Thank you for providing the information.

I understand the inconvenience you are facing in Windows. I appreciate your patience and efforts in trying to resolve the issue.

• As suggested by Sudharshan above, what was the result after performing the Automatic repair?

Performing automatic repair using the media creation tool replaces the corrupted or damaged files from the CD/DVD or USB media. It will not remove or replace your personal files.

Important: It is suggested to use the media creation tool and create the Windows installation media as there might be some files corrupted in the system where these might end up in causing error or failure. Using the Installation media and
performing the auto repair helps to recover the corrupted system files.

Please share us the results performing the above steps using the media creation tool to help you better.
