- To reset a user's password from a Windows 10 installation ISO on a USB drive, you'll need to boot from the ISO, access the command prompt, and then use the net user command to change the password. Here's how:
- 1. Boot from the USB Drive:
- Insert the Windows 10 installation USB into your computer and boot from it.
- 2. Access Command Prompt:
- During the installation process, you'll have the option to open a Command Prompt window.
- 3. Navigate to System32:
- In the Command Prompt, navigate to the System32 folder using the cd command:
- Code
- cd \Windows\System32
- Replace Utilman with CMD: Replace the Utilman.exe file (which is used for the Ease of Access feature) with the CMD.exe file to access the command prompt from the login screen:
- Code
- move Utilman.exe Utilman2.exe
- copy Cmd.exe Utilman.exe
- Reboot: Reboot your computer.
- Access Command Prompt through Ease of Access: At the login screen, click on the Ease of Access icon. This will now open a Command Prompt window.
- Reset the Password: Use the net user command to change the password for the desired user account. Replace <username> with the account name and <newpassword> with the new password.
- Code
- net user <username> <newpassword>
- Reboot: Reboot your computer again.
- Alternative Method (If you can access the system):
- 1. Open Command Prompt as Administrator:
- If you can access the system, open a Command Prompt window as an administrator.
- 2. Use the net user command:
- Use the net user command to change the password for the desired user account:
- Code
- net user <username> <newpassword>
- Reboot: Reboot your computer.
- In essence, you're using the Command Prompt to manipulate the system files and change the password for the user account, whether you're booting from the installation media or accessing the system directly.
