How to Reset Your Forgotten Windows Password the Easy Way

How to Reset Your Forgotten Windows Password the Easy Way

By 365daysmasti   January 12, 2016   No comments:

Forgetting your password is never any fun, but luckily there’s a really easy way to reset the password. All you need is a copy of the Windows installation disk and one simple command line trick.

Resetting Your Forgotten Windows Password

Boot off the Windows disk and select the “Repair your computer” option from the lower left-hand corner.

Follow through until you get to the option to open the Command Prompt, which you’ll want to select.

First you’ll want to type in the following command to backup the original sticky keys file:

copy c:\windows\system32\sethc.exe c:\

Then you’ll copy the command prompt executable (cmd.exe) over top of the sticky keys executable:

copy c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe c:\windows\system32\sethc.exe

Now you can reboot the PC.

Resetting the Password

Once you get to the login screen, hit the Shift key 5 times, and you’ll see an administrator mode command prompt.

Now to reset the password—just type the following command, replacing the username and password with the combination you want:

net user geek MyNewPassword

That’s all there is to it. Now you can login.

Of course, you’ll probably want to put the original sethc.exe file back, which you can do by rebooting into the installation CD, opening the command prompt, and copying the c:\sethc.exe file back to c:\windows\system32\sethc.exe.

Windows 8 Command Line List and Reference

Windows 8 Command Line List and Reference

By 365daysmasti   January 06, 2016   No comments:

One of the bugs in the beta version seems to be that this entry for the command prompt sometimes gets greyed out. Another route to the command prompt is to place the mouse on the bottom-left corner of the screen and right-click the tile that pops up. The context menu contains an entry both for the regular command line and for the commannd line run as administrator.

Another way to the command prompt will be familiar. Use the keyboard shortcut Winkey+R to open the Run line and then enter "cmd" (without quotes).

Once the command shell is open, it looks pretty similar to previous versions
