i've 3 accounts, two are admin, and the other one a standard account.
i was changing the password of one of the admin account using
net user * command.
after the changes, i couldn't access both admin accounts. i tried both the old and new passwords without success. unfortunately i don't have a password reset disk

i have access to the user account instead.

Did you enable the hidden admin account? If you don't know, then you probably did not.

You could boot into safe mode, log in to the hidden admin account and fix the other two accounts that way.

Two reset tools listed in step 2. You need another computer to download and burn the ISO.

I have a similar situation and have tried to reset the password through the CMD prompt using the 'net user' command.

The only two accounts that show up are Administrator and Guest. When I enter a new password for Administrator, I get 'The command completed successfully' then go to enter the new password on the log in screen and still says 'The username or password is incorrect' I've tried it a few times and I get the same results.

Any help is appreciated.

How do we know anyone on this forum owns the computer they are using?

 

Yes, I noticed your childish comment.

Don't like the rules? We aren't keeping you here.

Anyway, closed.
