Windows 10 admin password forgot

Hi sivakesava574,

If you forget the administrator password and don't have a password reset disk or another administrator account, you won't be able to reset the password. If there are no other user accounts on the computer, you won't be able to log on to Windows and will need to re-install Windows. However you can try out the steps offered in the link below.

Hi sivakesava574! Nowadays most Windows 10 computers use UEFI firmware and you have to format your USB drive with FAT32 & GPT partition scheme. You can use Rufus to burn your Windows 10 ISO image to your USB drive and then follow this method to reset your password:

Good luck!

To boot your Dell laptop from the USB drive:

First, make sure the USB is bootable, and the USB is connected to the Dell laptop.

Then, restart your Dell laptop, when power on, press F12 key repeatedly until the Boot Menu opens.

On the UEFI firmware settings, you should select the "UEFI: USB name" option, and then press Enter to boot your Dell laptop from the USB drive.

P.S it is UEFI boot issue and reset it successfully with this blog post.
