#WIN10 RESET PASSWORD MINI WINDOWS HOW TO#
I'm basically at a loss on how to proceed? Even if I swapped HD, which I don't want to do, I would probably still be stuck at that screen. So not only can I not do a system re-install I also can't run the command line repair to reset the password for a user, etc. I've even tried the only solution that has been reported to work but it didn't work for me. I then tried to do a CD image but that also fails and is stuck on the "Select CD-ROM Boot Type" screen that many people have encountered. In the Control Panel search box, type create password reset. In that case, contact your administrator. If you're using a work device that's on a network, you may not see an option to reset your password or PIN. If you use a PIN instead, see PIN sign-in issues. The USB key is not recognized as a bootable option (using alt on the keyboard). In the search box on the taskbar, type Control Panel, and then choose it from the list of results. Select the Reset password link on the sign-in screen.

No matter what I do I can't reset the password.Īfter guessing I tried to upgrade to Windows 10 since I could do a system re-install, which actually would be nice, but that failed. If they are not on the domain, and its purely a local machine basis the way it was done. It's not on the domain, we can't reset it, and we literally have no access to any of these systems.

I haven't used the computer for about a year and forgot the password (I've exhausted my guessing list). We can't log into it because he doesn't remember the passwords. I have a Mac mini version 3 I believe (not really that important but I suspect people will ask) on which Windows 7 has been installed.
