To crack the Windows 10 password without using any software, you can run certain commands in Command Prompt.
If you don't want to use any software to reset your Windows 10 password, even if it's super easy, there are command lines that can help you with it. Check the steps here to learn how to reset the Windows 10 password without logging in:
Step 1. Restart your PC and press "F11" to enter the Windows RE. (The hotkey may be different on different computers.)
Step 2. Go to "Troubleshoot" > "Advanced options" > "Command Prompt."
Step 3. Enter the commands here one by one:
- c:
- cd windows\system32
- ren sethc.exe sethc.ejm
- copy cmd.exe sethc.exe
Step 4. Enter wpeutil reboot to restart the computer.
Step 5. Press "Shift" at the log-in interface. Then, input net user username password (replace "username" and "password" with your account name and password) and hit "Enter."
Running command lines to reset your Windows 10 password is quite difficult for someone who isn't familiar with the Command Prompt. Hence, I want to recommend EaseUS Partition Master Professional and its Password Reset feature.
This tool can help you bypass and reset the password easily in a short time. If you are interested, read the following article to learn the details.
