How to Reset Windows 8 / 7 Password without A Disk (CD or USB Drive) or Software

Assuming that you have forgotten your Windows 8 / 7 password and want to know how to reset it without using a disk or USB drive, there are a few methods that you can try. The first method is to use the Kon-Boot software, which is considered to be the best solution for this problem. This software allows you to login into your account without needing a password. Once you have installed the software, all you need to do is boot up your computer and select the Kon-Boot option from the login screen.

Another method that you can try is to use the Safe Mode. To do this, you need to restart your computer and press the F8 key before the Windows logo appears. This will take you to the Advanced Boot Options menu where you can select the Safe Mode option. Once you are in the Safe Mode, you can login into your account without needing a password.

If you don�t want to use any third-party software or the Safe Mode, then you can try to reset your password by using the Command Prompt. To do this, you need to open the Command Prompt by pressing the Windows key + R and then typing �cmd� in the Run dialog box. Once the Command Prompt is open, you need to type the following command and press Enter:

net user /add

Replace with your username and with the new password that you want to set. Once you have done this, you can close the Command Prompt and restart your computer. When you login, you should use the new password that you have set.

If you are still unable to login into your account, then you can try to use the Recovery Console. To do this, you need to insert the Windows installation disc and boot from it. When you are prompted, you need to choose the Repair your computer option. On the next screen, you need to select the Command Prompt option. In the Command Prompt, you need to type the following commands and press Enter after each one:

cd C:\Windows\System32

ren Utilman.exe Utilman.exe.bak

copy cmd.exe Utilman.exe

exit

After you have done this, you can restart your computer and login using the new password that you have set.

If you are still unable to login into your account, then you can try to use the Last Known Good Configuration option. To do this, you need to restart your computer and press the F8 key before the Windows logo appears. This will take you to the Advanced Boot Options menu where you can select the Last Known Good Configuration option. Once you have selected this option, you can login into your account without needing a password.

If you have tried all of the above methods and you are still unable to login into your account, then you can try to use the System Restore option. To do this, you need to insert the Windows installation disc and boot from it. When you are prompted, you need to choose the Repair your computer option. On the next screen, you need to select the Command Prompt option. In the Command Prompt, you need to type the following commands and press Enter after each one:

cd C:\Windows\System32

ren Utilman.exe Utilman.exe.bak

copy cmd.exe Utilman.exe

exit

After you have done this, you can restart your computer and login using the new password that you have set.
