There are alot of software (Freeware/Shareware) for reseting Windows 8/7 Admin Password.
But sometime you dont have these tools or they are incompatible with the OS version.
In this article I will talk about how to reset the admin password / or any other password without any tools.
All what you need is windows 8 DVD.
Windows 8
- Boot From the DVD (adjust you BIOS setting for First Boot Device: DVD)
- When the loading completes, select the needed language. Then a window with "Install Now" button will display. Click "Repair your PC".
- Once recovery screen appear, press Shift+F10, then a command window will display. Enter commands below
- copy C:\Windows\System32\Utilman.exe C:\ (this command is to create a backup of the file)
- copy C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe C:\Windows\System32\Utilman.exe
- Confirm "Yes" when there is prompted.
The Utilman.exe is the accessible options for windows 8
Now all what you have to do is press on it, and the CMD will appear, simply write the command
Net user "UserName" "NewPassword"
To Get a list of the current users use the command Net user
and you are done :)
for Windows 7 follow the same steps but in step 4 the file you will copy is sethc.exe
So it will be
- copy C:\Windows\System32\sethc.exe C:\ (this command is to create a backup of the file)
- copy C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe C:\Windows\System32\sethc.exe
Enjoy, and dont forget to restore the file to its original name when you finish
