Change Windows User Password Without Knowing Current Password

You can change your windows password without knowing your current password (Yeah, that's correct). You can always create a password reset disk to reset your password but, this trick does not need that you can reset windows password without any disk or current password. I don't know why Microsoft did that but it is here.  I have tried these tricks on windows 7 and XP and they work on the both versions however I couldn't get them to work on windows 10, You can give them a go and if worked just let me know in the comment section.



Changing Administrator Password From Computer Management

  • Right click on "Computer" and select Manage.
  • Expand System tool > Local User and Group > Users.
  • Right click on the user account whose password you want to change and select "Set Password".
  • A window similar to this will open.
  • Enter the desired password twice and click on OK.
  • Notice that it does not ask for current password.

Changing Administrator Password using Command Prompt

  • Click on "Start Button" and type cmd. Hold ctrl+shift and press enter, click on yes when prompted (This will open command prompt with administration access).
  • Type the following command in the command window and hit enter:
          net user USERNAMEHERE *


  • Type the password twice and it is done.
All right guys I hope you find this trick helpful.
