    How to reset Windwos 8 Password?

    Change or reset your Windows password

    • 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.

    Windows doesn`t start. Authomatic repair doesn`t work.

    Thanks again!!

    I`m sorry I had not noticed that the text on the picture was in spanish. It says that windows has replaced some damaged clusters in "name" file and "directory". Then, at the end "an unspecified error occurred (75736e6a726e6c2e 4f6)".

    I`ll do it and I`ll be updating this thread when I have the report.

    I ran SeaTools. These are the results:

    Windows 10 Reset / Cloud download

    10 Pro 21H1
    19043.1023

    This is a general question that's puzzled this old pensioner, I have no problem with a reset.

    When doing a Reset, I click on Recovery / Reset / Remove Everything / Cloud Download./ Wipe the Drive
    There is also the option to reinstall Windows using Local Reinstall.

    My understanding of how this is worded is that Local Reinstall uses Windows already on your machine and
    Cloud Download downloads a new copy of Windows from MS and installs that.

    I always use the Cloud Download but if it is a new download, how come my desktop picture and a couple of
    other things are still there when the Recovery has finished.
    If it was a download I would have expected just Windows ?

    I hope that makes sense.
