Thank you so much... this is Skips grandson. thank you so much for everything... you are da best... looked at other videos, none of them worked except this one.... thanks much

[alcalingasan]

Hold shift while clicking restart and it will directly go to the Advanced options.

[svetsannyasin]

A million thanks, Kirt, for this detailed, step-by-step video! My computer password got weirdly locked and other training videos were useless. You saved me!

As of 16/02/2022, this general process still works on windows 10.

It is true that you no longer can access a system-wide command prompt in the very beginning to rename files like he did in the same way he shows you, but there are still other ways, namely using a usb-stick that has windows installation media on it, then in the BIOS booting your computer through that usb stick. Once your windows is in the boot up menu for windows 10, press shift + f10, and it brings up the command prompt. Then just follow his steps for the rest of the video and it'll work.

Brilliant video 👍 thank you. Worked perfectly to sort out an old laptop which we had forgotten all of the passwords for esp Admin. Followed your instructions and it's sorted. Thank you

[madrabbitoz]

Thank you Kirt! I had some problems towards the end with Trusted Installer/User Permissions to needed to rename utilman file but you solved the problem. I'm a MacOS person working on my mother's WIndows machine—so full credit to your step by step instructions! Grateful for your help. Agree with several other comments about this being THE BEST solution tutorial out there.

[slovenc]

Kirt your solution is very detailed and easy to follow, but I cannot get into the Command Prompt from the Advanced Options Window. When I select Command Prompt, I get two options. Option 1 is to "Choose an account to continue". If I select my account, I am asked for a password. Option 2 says "Forgot your password or don't see your account?". If I select this, it basically says that accounts listed are only admin accounts that have previously signed into this PC. And, you need to be signed in as an admin to use some repair and restore tools. Finally, it says that if you do not have a PW you can try restarting and logging in as an admin.


It's worth noting that when I get to the Advanced Options window, the same options (as shown in your video) are available, but in a slightly different order. I know that should not matter, but I wonder if there was a Windows update that closed this loop hole.






Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hey Kirt, this worked perfectly! I literally had the USB flash drive in my hand to reinstalling windows after my new password didn’t work and trying a few other options out there. Yours was the last I was going to try and I’m so very glad I did. I can’t thank you enough!

[dtmoskar]

15 years in IT and this is the first I've seen this. Genius, scary, but genius! Thanks for the save!

[smoothvocs]

Wow, my man!! Thank you so much. You are so knowledgeable. Take care and keep it coming. You definitely have a new subscriber.

[howieg]

Awesome. Not the changing or updating of the password which a bunch of other do show (great to know), but the adding the current user (yourself) to full authority on System32. When I saw this my mouth dropped open, and I hit the Subscribe Button. I will watch it a few more times just to be sure I get it.
Thanks!

[adammadron]

Thanks for this tutorial. Worked like a charm. I was worried that MS might have patched this over the years since you posted this but they apparently have not so this is still relevant and works. I’ve been locked out of my admin on the pc since windows 10 sort of forced me to create separate access privileges for my admin account a couple of years ago.

[taiwoajibade]

Hey Kirt, this really worked! Having followed your steps. I am so happy!!! 26.05.2021 ☺. From Nigeria! You also gained a follower.

[cyberprompt]

Saved my LIFE! THANK YOU!. Although I combined your access to CMD in Safe Boot with the system32 [ bcdedit /deletevalue {current} safeboot ] method just to get back to regular windows!

[juvvy]

When i go on command prompt it sayis i need to use the password

[TomBowden]

Kirt, you are the man!!! Thank you for your step by step process on removing bad info... thanks again!

[masontorr]

Still works August, 19 2021. Thanks so much for the outstanding tutorial. I finally feel like a real IT guy!

[yanceybarker]

Thank you for a very detailed and thorough video. You have taught me something new and made it fun and personal. Thank you so much.

[ethanf]

Absolutely brilliant thank you! Pity my IT guy set passwords on the menus and can't remember them!

[StallionStudios]

Wow you are a life saver. I changed my password and somehow it was not working when I tried logging back in. I could not even access safe mode or my command prompt since it was the admin account. Using my reboot CD I was able to access command prompt and follow your instructions. Worked like a T :). Thanks man!
