Forgot your Windows login password? In this video we will see several methods to reset it and get you back on track.

If you type an incorrect password, Windows shows you the Password Hint, if you created one while creating your user account. If you remember the password now, try it.

If you created a password reset disk, while creating your user account, you can use it now to reset your login password. Remember to use the disk created for your own user account on this computer.

When you type an incorrect password, Windows also prompts you to reset it. Connect your password reset disk, usually a USB pen drive, and click Reset Password.

Follow the onscreen instructions to reset your password, and create a new one for the future. Click Next. And Finish to close the wizard.

In case there is another administrator user account on this computer, you can logon using that account to reset the password for yours. Let's say there are two users, Jack and Randy, and you have to reset Jack's password.

Logon using Randy's account. Click Start and type "user" in the search box. Go to User Accounts.

Click Manage Other Account. This will show all the users on the system. Click Jack, and now you can change or remove the password for Jack's account.
