It is encouraging that windows helps us create a password-reset disk in case we forget or lose our
login passwords. If you happen to have a previously created password-reset disk in your hand,
you can easily reset your Windows 10 login password. Steps are as follows.
Step 1: First access to your windows 10 login screen
Step 2: Simply type a wrong password, so the “Reset password” appear and you need to click it.
Step3: Then insert your password reset USB flash disk to your computer.
Step 4: The wizardwill guide you to reset your Windows 10 login password.
Method2: ResetWindows10 loginPassword by creating a new user
Few people realize the importance of a reset disk feature in windows 10 or they don’t care it at
all. So what should you do without a reset disk previously created when you forgot Windows 10
login password? In fact, you still have the chance to reset your forgotten windows 10 password
immediately and easily. That’s through creating a new user account on your Windows 10.
Step 1: First, start by booting your Windows 10 installation into the setup by changing the boot
order in your BIOS to take priority with the CD, or use the ISO as a startup disk instead.
Step 2: Once the computer starts up, press “Shift+F10” to bring up a command prompt. From
here, we’re going to use the command prompt to replace the Utility Manager at the login screen
with cmd.exe with the following commands:
move d: windows  system32 utilman . exed: windows system32 utilman. exe. bak
copy d :  windows system32 cmd. exed : windows system32 utilman. exe
Then you can input the command “wpeutil reboot” to restart the machine.
Step 3: Next you will be back at the login screen, click the Ease of Access icon and you should see
a cmd.exelaunch. Type the commands below:
net user <username> /add
net localgroup administrators <username> /add
You can use the name you’d like to replace the <username> above.
Close the prompt ,you can choose to unplug the Windows 10 installation disk, the computer will
boot up to the screen like the image below. Another way, you can also reset the BIO setting to
restart your computer into widows 10 without unplug the disk. Then click on the new account.
Step 4: After entering the new desktop, right click the Start menu, select the “Computer
Management”.
Expand “Local Users and Groups” on the left side, click the” User” folder, find your old account
and right click. Select “Set Password” toreset your login password.
Step 5: Finally, click on the Start menu, choose the account that missed password. Return the
login interface, now you can login with your new password.
Method3: Reset Windows 10 login password by Windows Password Refixer
Read here you may think I don’t have a privileged reset disk and the method 2 is too complex for
you to operate. Just take it easy, we will show you a new method to reset your login password.
No more requirements or skills are needed and beyond that it is also very safe to your computer.
Now thereare some things you need to prepare below:
 A workable computer based on windows OS
 A blank USB device or DVD/CD
Step 1: Download and install Windows Password Refixer on a workable Windows PC.
Step 2: Insert your prepared CD/DVD or USB into the PC, and run the Windows Password Refixer,
select the media type you want to burn.
Step 3: Choose the drive you just insert and click on “Begin burning”, then you click “Yes” to
format. After finishing the process, just eject the drive.
Step 4: Now you can insert the drive into the locked computer and start it. Type “F12” to enter
into BIOS settings. Then choose booting option from USB or CD/DVD.
Step 5: Then select windows 10 system and the login password forgotten account, click “Reset
Password “.
