I am follow the steps but now my PC is lock how to disable the local security policy

I have a user account that is an administrator and I cannot clear the password on the account from the administrator account using the net user ( username ) " " or *
It tells me I don't have rights to do this
Is there any way to read the password from that user account ?

Is there a third-party program that will boot the machine and read the usernames and passwords or is there a location where the password is stored in the registry or in a file in the windows directory or the user's directory ?

I remember in the days of Windows XP you could read the encrypted password and using rainbow tables you could decrypt the password

Is this still possible ?

I remember having a CD that had a program that booted the machine and read the user names and it would decode the passwords
It would show the passwords one at a time as it works to decode the encrypted password

I really need to do this

I have the drive out of the laptop so I can read the entire drive if I knew where to look I could get the encrypted password and hopefully somebody would be able to decrypt it

This is pretty much required for schools and business etc. It would be a bit silly if you had to scroll through a giant list of everyone's name in the login screen haha

What if it is already signed out, and you do not want to change the username or password you just want to find out what it is and it’s already signed out. What do you do that?

I guess local security policy is not a thing on my admin computer

(Sorry for bad English)

[samirkahwaji]

I tried it but can’t login because I don’t know the username or password. Is there a way I can remove it without logging into the pc?
