Lenovo Windows 10 PC login password lost


Recommended Posts

If this computer is really yours, you can reset your Microsoft account password using the 0crash0 method, or from another computer/phone : https://account.live.com/resetpassword.aspx

It should work if you entered another e-mail address or your phone number in this account.

Even if you didn't, Microsoft will ask you the name of several contacts, the content of some mails you received to check if you are the owner and make you able to reset the password.

If the computer is not yours... Too bad, anti-theft protection worked :D

you would need to reset it using https://account.live.com/resetpassword.aspx . otherwise another way would be to make a recovery disk by downloading the windows 10 media creation tool, copy the contents to a flash drive, boot from the flash drive, go to repair options, go to command prompt, then 

type:

copy c:\windows\system32\sethc.exe c:\     (or whatever the windows directory is)

then type:

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

reboot pc

hit shift key 6 times to bring up cmd window 

type in:

net user Administrator \active:yes

reboot pc

administrator account will be active you can now log on to create new user profiles or changed passwords.


keep in mind this would be to create a local account not to log in using your microsoft email.
