Situatie

If you are in this unfortunate situation where all your data and files are inaccessible, then we recommend using iToolab UnlockGo to reset the account password. Not only does it ensure you don’t have to reinstall Windows, but it also works for Local Admin and Microsoft Domain account passwords.

Follow these steps to recover your Windows account.

1. Create a bootable USB Drive
2. Boot from USB Drive
3. Change or Remove Windows account password
4. Get access to your Windows PC

1] Create a bootable USB Drive

Get access to another Windows PC, download, and install this Windows 10 Password Recovery Tool. Then connect a USB drive, and ensure it’s empty as the drive will be formatted. The next step is to launch the software and click on the Start button. You can choose between a CD/DVD or USB drive on the next screen. Select USB, and then click on the Next button. Click next, confirm the prompts, and let the software create the reset disk.

2]  Boot from USB Drive

Once done, the application will display a list of keyboard keys to press to boot into the BIOS instead of Windows. Most laptops and PCs are set to boot from the storage, so we will have to change to boot from the USB. It can be done via UEFI or BIOS. Look for the Boot section, and you can change the order of the boot from there. Some modern motherboards can detect the connected USB drive as you change the option. Save the change, and restart.

3] Change or Remove Windows account password

• Once you restart, you should now see the iToolab UnlockGo Recovery screen. Select the Windows version your Account is on and click Next. It will then display the list of accounts on the Windows PC. The list will include a list of Microsoft Account status, Admin account status, and so on.
• Select the Account you want to reset, and choose from one o the option. The options allow you to Remove, Reset, Delete accounts and create a new account.
• Select Reset, and then type the password. And click the Reset button.
• If you do not want to change the password using this tool, you can create a new admin account. Once done, restart the PC and then use that Account to change your Account password from Windows.

I would suggest creating another admin account even if you don’t need it. If you ever need it, you will have it right away; otherwise, you will have to reuse the software and create it again.

4] Get access to your Windows PC

Make sure to note the password before you leave the recovery. If not, reset once again and record it on paper or your phone. Next, remove the USB drive and reboot the PC using the reset button. Removing the USB ensures the PC does not boot into the recovery mode. Once the PC reboots, login with the new password, or if you choose to create a new account, and then login.
