How to Access Your Computer if You Have Forgotten the Password

In this tutorial i'm intended to teach how to access your computer when you have forgotten your password. You can use another available administrator, password reset disk, or sign in to Windows without password.

Note:This method only works on a computer with multiple users.

1. On Windows login screen, switch to another available administrator.If your computer has Windows 7 installed, just press "Ctrl + Del + Alt" and click "Switch User" to switch to another user. If your computer has Windows 8 installed, on Windows login screen, just click the arrow on the left of user image, and there will be a list of all users available on Windows 8. Choose one administrator account whose password you remember.

2. Navigate to Control Panel to change other users’ password.For example, on Windows 7 computer, go to Control Panel – User Accounts and Family Safety – User Accounts – Add or remove user accounts.

3. Choose one account whose password you want to change or remove.

4. Click “Change the password” or “Remove the password”.If you choose “Change the password”, type the new password and confirm it. When you choose “Remove the password”, click “Remove Password” again to confirm that you want to remove it.

5. Set new password for this user account.(Optional)

Tips *. You cannot use this method on a computer with only one user.
