Īfter you have created the PCUnlocker boot disc or flash drive, simply boot your PC from it instead of from the hard drive. PCUnlocker is a downloadable ISO file that you “burn” onto a blank optical disc or USB flash drive (I used a blank DVD-RW disc myself). I’ve used a number of password reset utilities in the past, but the one I now use and recommend is an awesome tool called PCUnlocker. But luckily there are third-party tools that we can use to reset them. In fact, rarely a week goes by without someone asking me how to reset a Windows password that they’ve forgotten.Īs you might imagine, Microsoft doesn’t include an easy way to reset a forgotten password with Windows since that would defeat the purpose of having a password in the first place. Rick’s answer: Don’t be too hard on yourself, Gloria. This is a desktop computer with Windows 10? I can’t believe I forgot the password! Can you tell me how to reset it? Question from Gloria: I tried to log in to my computer for the first time in several months, but it won’t let me log in because I can’t remember the password.
