Hacking Windows 10 accounts. MICROSOFT password reset

If the password from Windows 10 is forgotten and recovered, it can be reset. The instruction on reset is no different from the one that we used on older versions operating system Microsoft, with the exception of some features. At the same time, the owners can take advantage of different types accountused to log in.
But before you use the instructions, make sure that the password is entered by unmistakable. You may not have forgotten it, but indicate wrong - upper or lowercase letters, Russian or English alphabet. If it does not help, go to the instruction, performing each step true.

Microsoft Account Password Reset Online

Food you enter the system using an account from Microsoft, you can reset the password in real time. To do this, you need to connect to the network, for example, by clicking on the connection icon, and go to the official resource of the OS manufacturer. And even if your computer is blocked, you can change the password from any other device, up to a tablet or smartphone. Password is reset to log in a few steps and does not represent difficulties even for an unprepared system user.

Copy into the browser address bar: https://account.live.com/resetpassword.aspx. Select the Password Recovery item. System will ask you to specify an email address or phone number. Enter the characters from the picture and perform all instructions step by step. If you do everything right, Microsoft account will be restored.

If the phone and mail attached to the account are not lost, the recovery process occurs quickly. In the last step, you connect to the network and come up with new password from account.

Changing the password for the user using the built-in administrator account

There is another way to change the password. To use them, you must have one of the following drives: operating system with full accessUploaded from a changeable media, distributing OS of any version (from 7 to 10), USB Flash-Drive Recovery. We will show how the password changes using a system recovery disk.

The first thing to be done is to download the operating system from the interchangeable media. When a language selection appears on the monitor, you need to call the command line with the key combination SHIFT + F10.. If the manipulations do not lead to anything, select the "Language" first, and then "OS Restore". We need "additional parameters" that are selected in "troubleshooting". From "Advanced Parameters" go to the "Command Line".

Enter these two commands in the same sequence and press the corresponding key (ENTER):

  • diskpart.
  • list Volume

Commands completed all sections hard disk. Look, in which section the operating system is located. The letter may differ since you boot from command line. To determine the section from the OS, focus on its volume. Where there is more size, there is a system. For example, we have this section d, you can all be different. Therefore, put your letter in the teams.

Write on the command line EXIT. And make it using the ENTER button. Use such commands by changing, if necessary, the letter of the section with the operating system:

  • 1st. mOVE C: \\ Windows \\ System32 \\ Utilman.exe C: \\ Windows \\ System32 \\ Utilman2.exe
  • 2nd. copy C: \\ Windows \\ System32 \\ cmd.exe C: \\ Windows \\ System32 \\ Utilman.exe
  • 3rd. After properly executed commands, you need to reboot. This can be done using the same command line by running: wpeutil reboot.

Now, when booting OS, use a system disk, not a replaceable medium.

If you have not used a disk with a distribution, and something else, you must copy cmd.exe using the command line using the command line, moving to the folder from OS (System32), and then call it another name - utilman.exe.

After the OS booted from the disk on the computer, you must enter the password. But you do not know it, so you need to use "special features." Clicking on the icon, you will go to the command line.

It is here that we will change the password by entering the following command: net User. User_Mae New_Pall. Do not know the name of the user OS? Specify in the Net Users command line and you will see the names (name). If you are not one word in the OS username, each enter into quotes.

The second version of the Windows 10 password reset (with the already running command line, as described above)

There is another way to change forgot password. We can use Windows 10 owners only in two editions - corporate or professional. For home version, this method is not applicable.

In the command prompt, specify depending on the interface language (English or Russian) the following one, the command:

  • net User Administrator / Active: Yes
    or
  • net User Administrator / Active: Yes

At the execution stage of this command or when the computer restarts, you can select a user. Choose an account of the PC administrator and without entering the password, wait for the OS load. This will take some time.

When the system is loaded, enter the menu " Start"And go to" PC Management" Select " Local users"And separately" Usersยป.

Choose that user, password to which you do not remember by clicking on it with the mouse. And specify a new password by clicking on the corresponding menu item. The system will warn about hazards and vulnerabilities. Check out them and continue on.

Now in a special field, enter a new password, after preserving it already reliable.

The second method considered by us just is not suitable for all types of accounts, but only for a local account. If your account from Microsoft, use the other way, the very first. If that method is unrealized for some reason, use this, but taking into account some nuances. To apply it, you need new user PC. Enter the computer administrator and create it.

After a successfully applied second method, again use the command line to disable the built-in PC administrator entry.

And again, in the command prompt, specify depending on the interface language (English or Russian) the following one, the command:

  • net User Administrator / Active: NO
    or
  • net User Administrator / Active: NO

That's not all. You, if you remember, renamed cmd.exe in utilman.exe. The renamed file must be removed from the OS folder (System32). And from the name utilman2.exe Remove the number " 2 "That is, the file should look like this: utilman.exe. The only snag is that these actions are not always realized within the system itself. In this case, again you will have to use the command line by running it in the OS recovery mode. All you returned to initial settings And you can enter win system 10 under any account and with a new password.

Another way to reset Windows 10 password

You can reset the password and the third way. To use them, one of three is also needed. replaceable carriers: Distribution of the system, disk to change the registry or drive with OS recovery tools.

To demonstrate the way, we will use the USB Flash-drive with OS latest version. Perform eight steps:

After a successful executed operation, go out alternately from the registry, command line and the operating system installation program. Load OS C. system Disc. At the time of boot, a command line will appear, where you can reset the password.

Command:

  • net User Name New_pall
    eXIT.

You do not need to change anything in the parameters.

Authorization in Windows 10 by entering a password is one of the mechanisms for protecting a computer and personal data. But having different passwords on each site, the user can easily confuse them and enter the wrong password to enter Windows 10.

If the user has forgotten the password from Windows 10 - this is not a reason to reset or reinstall the operating system. The developers were engaged in several methods by which you can restore the forgotten password from Microsoft account. Immediately note that in Windows 10 there are two types of accounts: local and account in Microsoft.

We get access to Microsoft Account

If you forgot the password from the account, here the Windows 10 developers give the ability to instantly restore access to the computer. But first make sure that you do not use a local account. To do this, we look at the form where you want to enter a password. If the name of the user is indicated emailcarry out the steps below. Otherwise, go to the next section.

Fill in the online form offered by Microsoft to restore access to the problem account. Here we ask the reason why we want to restore access to the account. Next will have to prove the system that it is the user who is the owner of the account, the password from which forgot and tries to recover: enter attached telephone number and email address. Then we enter the code received by mail or as an SMS, after which the form appears with the proposal to set a new password to enter the computer from Windows 10 and confirm it.

If the user pointed out all the data, the form will appear with the proposal to set a new password and repeat it.

There are cases when the user does not have a phone at hand, the ability to gain access to attached mailbox or does not remember additional email address. In this case, it is recommended to fill out another questionnaire, which includes a number secret questions, including your personal data entered during registration.

All actions must be executed from a computer connected to the Internet, or use another device, such as a smartphone or laptop to access the Microsoft account.

In order not to repeat the execution of this time-consuming procedure, forgetting the password once again, Microsoft offer to use one of the alternative authorization methods - the use of a PIN code or graphic key (picture + combination of gestures).

Get access to local account

Here you have to face much more, because the access key is reliably encrypted and for its selection will have to take advantage special utility Or make an attempt to restore access using the Windows 10 setting distribution.

  • Perform booting from removable boot media With the distribution of "dozens".
  • When booting a window with options for the installation language, clamp "SHIFT + F10" to start the command line.

  • We enter the sequence of the following commands:

diskpart.

list Volume.

  • We take note of the letter 10 of the volume label to which Windows 10 is installed.

Usually it is a C: \\.

  • Perform two teams:

Their meaning is: we rename the "utilman32" file in "Utilman2", then create a copy of "cmd.exe" named "Utilman32".

  • If you successfully execute operation, enter "WPeutil Reboot" and click "Enter" to restart the computer.
  • After downloading the OS on the lock screen, click on the "Special Features" link to open the command line.
  • We enter a string of the type "Net User IMYA_POLZOVATELYA PAROL '", where the command parameters are replaced by your own.
  • In order to see a list of computer accounts, enter "Net Users".
  • Immediately after that, you can go to the account using the new password.
