We sometimes encounter the situation of forgetting the Windows 10 login password, or the computer is not logged in after logging in to other accounts. After encountering these issues, we may use some third-party tools to remove existing passwords. However, the safety of these tools has yet to be tested, and it is certainly not as safe as not being used. Today, IT Home introduces a method that can only reset the password using the Windows system U disk/disc (applicable to local accounts, Microsoft account login cannot be modified).
It should be noted that the use of the system U disk and CD should correspond to a good architecture, that is to say 32-bit system to use 32-bit system disk, 64-bit system to use 64-bit system disk. However, the system disk type is quite broad, Win7/Win8.1/Win10 can be used. If you don't have such resources at hand, you can manually download the image and use the soft disk (click to download) U disk to start or burn the CD to make one yourself, no trouble.
The specific steps are as follows:
