If you want to change the user password of Windows in your computer but you don’t know the current password, there is an easy way to do this. First of all, the user that you are on has to be an administrator user. To determine what type of user your are logged in with go to Start > Control Panel > User Accounts. At the bottom of the window you will see the different users that are on your computer. Find your user and under the user name it will say what type of user account you are. Your user needs to be a computer administrator to change the password without knowing the current password.

Let’s get started!

1. Click on the Start button and select “Run”

The Run window will appear. Type into it the text, “cmd” (without the quotes). Click OK

2. The CMD window nd will appear. Type “net user”

A list of all the users that are on the computer will appear.

3.  Type the following: net user *

For example, if the user I want to change passwords for is Mike, I would type in:
net user Mike *

4. Press enter and you will be asked to type in a new password.

Type in your new password. The cursor will not move nore will it seem like anything is happening but your new password will be entered.

5. You will be asked to confirm your new password. Enter it again and press enter.


Hope you have enjoyed this trick:)
