4 Ways to Find Current Windows Password One Last Time

This section of the guide covers four ways with step-by-step guides. The four ways offer different complexities for finding current Windows or Microsoft passwords.

 I highly recommend using the EaseUS Key Finder tool as it is beginner-friendly and offers many features to keep your password safe. That said, follow the way you're most comfortable with.

Way 1. Find the Current Windows Password via EaseUS Key Finder

One of the easiest methods to find the current Windows password is by using EaseUS Key Finder. The application has a user-friendly interface and lets you recover your Windows password without changing it. 

Just download the EaseUS Key Finder and follow the steps below to get started:

Step 1. Launch EaseUS Key Finder, and click "Windows Credentials" on the left pane.

Step 2. Now, you can check all available Windows Credential addresses with respective user names, and passwords.

You can click "Copy", "Print", or "Save" these Windows Credentials' accounts and passwords at one time. 

Once you're done recovering your password, you can also use the app for the following:

• Recover Adobe/Office product keys
• Recover saved passwords from web browsers (Microsoft account password)
• Find WiFi passwords
• Backup activation keys
• Find your Twitter password without resetting
• Recover keys from dead OS or drive

Rather than making the recovery process harder, Key Finder makes finding Windows passwords and other credentials much easier. So, if you're a beginner or just want to get your current Windows password quickly, give EaseUS Key Finder a shot.

Way 2. Find the Current Windows Password via Credential Manager

Credential Manager is a built-in tool on Windows OS. It saves the login information based on different accounts and can be used to find your current Windows password. Moreover, it also helps you save your Web passwords and recover them quickly.

Follow the steps below to find the password without running into issues:

Step 1. Launch the "Control Panel" app using the "Search" bar on your Windows OS. I used my Windows 11 laptop, but you can also do this on Windows 10. 

Step 2. Click on the "User Accounts" tab to access the administrator details for your PC.

Step 3. Now, select the "Windows Credentials" button, and you should see all your credentials listed below. 

Note: If your "Windows Credentials" section is empty, click on the "Add a Windows credential" button and save your login information for future use.

Way 3. Find Current Windows Password via Registry Editor

Another way of finding the current Windows password is by using the built-in "Registry Editor" tool. However, this should be done with caution, as messing around with the registry can lead to a lot of issues. 

So, I only recommend pros follow the steps below and beginners choose the other ways listed above:

💡Note: Make sure you create a backup of your files if anything goes wrong with the registry edits. 

Step 1. First, type "regedit" in the "Windows Search Box" and run the "Registry Editor" app.

Step 2. Navigate to the following location by copying and pasting it into the "Registry Editor" window. 

• Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

Step 3. Look for the "DefaultPassword" file in the Winlogon folder and open it to show your passwords stored on your Windows PC.

Way 4. Find the Current Windows Password via CMD

Finally, the last way that you can use to find your current Windows password is by using CMD(Command Prompt). Windows 10/11 users can also use Windows PowerShell. The process is a bit technical and is not recommended for beginners.

Here are the steps you should follow:

Step 1. Look for "CMD" or "PowerShell" in the "Windows Search" bar and run them as administrator.

Step 2. Type the commands below and hit the "Enter" key. 

• rundll32.exe keymgr.dll,KRShowKeyMgr

Step 3. A window should now open up with all the passwords and usernames saved on your device. Just select your account, and your credentials should be visible to you.
