Login failed on computer

[bapperas]

I can't access my computer after I upgrade it (Win 10),I called Microsoft, but they were convinced it wasn't their fault,They always thought my password was wrong.

I've tried and failed many times .

What issue are you coming across from failing? Incorrect login credentials, an error message you could share?

[xvdoc]

probably case sensitive. did you accidentally use CAPS Lock while entering password?

[bapperas]

I had suspected this before, but I had entered the password carefully, and the result was the same.

Local account, or Microsoft account?

[bapperas]

Local account . (Win 10 , 64 bit)

I assume you have the installation media???? If so, boot from that. Select "repair" instead of install, and then click on "command prompt" (I think it's under 'troubleshooting', or whathaveyou.)

 

At the command prompt, figure out which drive your windows installation is on. (just type in "C:\" and hit enter to switch to C drive. then DIR 'enter' to see what's there. You are looking for the drive that has the windows directory on it.

Once you find it, type in "C:\windows\system32" no quotes though. The command prompt should reflect that you are now in that directory. (be sure and use the correct drive letter for your windows installation.....)

Once there, type in the following commands:

copy utilman.exe utilman.bak

copy cmd.exe utilman.exe

 

confirm the overwrite. exit out, reboot back into your normal windows.

When the login screen comes up, click on the 'accessibility options' button. It will open a command prompt...... :D

in there type in:

net user yourusername 1

you should see confirmation of the command. (yourusername is Your login name. if you just type in 'net user', it will list the accounts on the machine.)

then just type in exit.

 

you should now be able to click on your username, and your password is 1. You can change it to whatever you like once you get logged in.

 

You will have to repeat the process to copy utilman.bak, utilman.exe, can't do it from within windows. It won't let you. :D

I saw a tutorial on "command prompt" on Google. I don't think I can do it because it's really complicated for me ,anyway ,I will try to do as you say .thanks .

Don't upgrade Windows 10 at will ,Unless you're a professional, obviously you're not ,try login into your computer with other account .

Or follow this guide to create a bootable disk to reset the password .

The login password don't work on your Windows 10 computer ?

Try bypassing it to log into it.
