Forgot your Windows 8.1 Password? Change it Yourself!

Finding yourself in a situation where you forget your Windows 8.1 password is embarrassing, to say the least. Luckily, exiting this hole is much easier than diving in; you could simply ask the other gentleman using the same machine to change your password from his account. And guess who this other guy is? It’s you! 

While majority users may not know this, but every Windows 8.x user with administrative rights can change any other account’s password. It may sound daunting, but the process is rather simple. Following is step-by-step guide to help you recover your forgotten password using the Administrator Account in Control Panel:

  • Enter Start Screen by pressing the Windows key
  • Type Control Panel and click the icon from the search results
  • From the Control Panel window, navigate to User Accounts and Family Safety
  • Click Users Account and choose Manage another account
  • Choose the local account you want to recover the password for and click Change the password
  • On the Change <username>’s password screen, enter a new password where required
  • Save the password changes by clicking the Change password button

Restart your system and try logging into the local account using this new password. Once in, start taking precautionary steps to avoid any future mishaps. One effective way would be to switch to the Microsoft account since that will make it easier for you to receive a new password in future.

  3. Windows password lost is a normal thing nowadays. The important thing is which way you will choose to change the lost password and how do you change it for your computer’s data security. Reset disk can be recommended firstly, because it is quick and easy. If you have no one your second best choice will be reset software. Windows Password Killer can be as an example.
