Son of my collegue accidently created new user account in windows 8.1 and set it as admin. He also set password which of course doesn't know now. Is there any chance how to reset this password from guest account? Any software from third part or live linux? Thank you for helping
I tried some commands in cmd, but everything finished of course on admin permissions
visit C:/home windows/system32.
replica cmd.exe and paste it on laptop.
Rename cmd.exe to sethc.exe.
Replica the brand new sethc.exe to gadget 32,while home windows asks for overwriting the report,then click on sure.
Now log off from your guest account and on the user pick out window,press shift key 5 times.
6)In preference to Sticky Key affirmation conversation,command activate with complete administrator privileges will open.
Now kind “ net user ADMINISTRATOR “come 2 learn” where “come 2 learn” can be any password you want and press input.
You’ll see “ The Command finished successfully” after which go out the command set off and login into administrator together with your new password.
Bravo !! Now you have got hacked admin thru guest account.

I'm required at work to use a Mobile Account connected to Active Directory. I also have an Administrator account on my computer (which is a local account).
Whenever I need to use sudo commands from the terminal, logged in as Mobile Account, the password of the Admin account is never recognized.
All the other operations that need a password input (e.g. the authorization to install Applications) work, so I can't explain why inside the terminal it doesn't work.
I've solved it by putting my user in the list of sudoers.
Checkout this link on how to do it.
I tried everything using terminal still can't get anything I can't change it using user setting as it demands the password and admin name I used keychain but still didn't get it
Boot up your Mac and hold CMD + R
which will boot into Recovery Mode.
Go to Utilities and open Terminal. Type in the following:
resetpassword
Close out the Terminal window and behind it you will find the Reset Password utility. All you have to do now is select the user account you want to reset, enter a new password or leave it blank and click Save. Then just simply restart the computer from the Apple menu and login with your new password.
Okay, I think I did something stupid here. I had forgotten my Win10 user account (steph) Password. This is an admin account.
1) Using a Linux-type usb-boot utility, I've been able to blank the password. Upon reboot, I entered a blank password but I still cannot login, it seems that my account physically on the computer now doesn't match my Hotmail credentials -or something- and I'm still locked out.
2) Using the same Linux usb boot utility, I've unlocked the 'Administrator' account. Now I can login using the 'Administrator' account but from the Control Panel, I cannot change my own user account (steph) password, the option for it is just not there (perhaps it's because the password is believed to be blank?)
3) Later I've been able to find the piece of paper on which I wrote my original password for my own account.
Q: Is there's a way to set my original password back to what it was in order to unlock my account?
Thanks.
Many Linux usb boot utilities can work with local account only. I suggest you set up a new Microsoft account on your PC, and point it to your old profile directory. Then remove your original Microsoft account from Control Panel.
Actually it works fine to login, and also when I execute something with sudo. But when I try to change preferences and window with login/password pops up, it says that password is incorrect.
So I actually cannot install anything.
I finally figured out the issue first you have to make another Admin account I did this by following this tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b7awY1KI2s8
DON'T USE THE SAME PASSWORD THAT YOU USED ON YOUR OTHER ACCOUNT I HAD PROBLEMS BECAUSE I DID THAT
If you are experiencing the same issues as me where the password didn't work
follow these steps to change the password
Restart the Mac
During when it's booting up go into recovery mode.
Once in recovery mode open up Terminal.
Enter this and then press enter: resetpassword
Reset password for the admin account that was made.
log into your new admin account and then make your other account an admin user.
Restart computer and then login to your account.
The problem is – input language is not eng, even showing it is. Try delete any other input languages – worked for me.
FWIW - I had a similar issue with DP3 following a restart (I could not login with any account). After shutting down and booting again, I was able to login again.
Had the same problem. Log in with iCloud solved it.
I want to implement a self reset password functionality for Windows 7 users. When the Logon screen prompts the domain users should be presented with a forgot password button which will open the password reset wizard. So the problem is how to add a command button to the standard windows logon screen?
I know about GINA in Windows XP as mentioned here:
Adding command button to Windows Logon screen
But this topic is 3 years old, and with Vista / Windows 7 Microsoft came up with "Microsoft Windows Credential Provider".
Those button are called "Tiles", and they are implemented in a Credential Provider. Anything you read about a Gina will not work in Vista or later.
Those tiles a created by the LogonUI.exe process, itself launched by Winlogon.exe. LogonUI.exe runs with high priviledges. You don't want to run anything there. Besides, any wizard you run will run under the system account. Security issues aside, anything that resets the password of the current user will not work.
But let's assume that you have a solution that can reset a user's password. Like a web site (or a local application) that :
Ask for the user's name
Ask some security questions
Connects to Active Directory to reset the password
Then here is a way to implement the functionality.
Create a user, a domain user if possible. Give it a name and a password easy to remember, like "reset" and "reset". Make shure that everybody knows the password.
Change the shell of that user to Internet Explorer, that you would be running in kiosk mode, pointing to your web application.
Now when someone wants to reset their password, here is what they will do :
Use the standard Windows Credential Provider, like they do every day, but with the user "reset" and the password "reset".
Instead of the normal Windows shell, they will be presented with your password reset web application.
The user resets their password and they are instructed to log off using CTRLATLDEL
They can log in with their own username and brand new password.
This idea can be improved upon if you are ready to write some code:
Instead of Internet Explorer, write a simple web application that wraps the web browser control. if the application is closed, or any other funny business, logoff.
Hack one of the Credential Provider samples to supply the well know password reset username and password, making password reset merely a click away
Change that password reset credential provider's image to reflect the password reset functionnality.
