http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/what-do-forget-Windows-password#1TC=Windows-8
If you have forgotten your Windows password, there are several ways to recover or reset:
If your PC is on a domain, your system administrator must reset your password.
If you use a Microsoft account, you can reset your password online. For more information, see the Web to reset your password page.
If you use a local account, use your index of password as a reminder.
If you've tried these suggestions and still unable to connect:
If you have Windows 8.1, you will need to reinstall Windows.
If you have Windows RT 8.1, you will need to contact the manufacturer of your PC.

Need to change the administrator password
Hi I have a hp laptop with fingerprint digital digital persona. I have an administrator account and a standard user account. I guess I forgot my password. IM able to login as an administrator with my mark, but I don't remember the actual password. Is that what I can do to change the password?
Here you go:
- Connect with your fingerprint reader.
- Click the start planet.
- Type cmd.exe in the search box.
- Press Ctrl + Shift + Enter
- Click on "Run as Administrator".
- Type the following command and press ENTER:
NET user "user %%nom" 123456
(This will set your password to 123456) - Plan ahead a little and create, test, and document an alternative admin account, even though you have a spare House key. Have a single administrator account is high-risk stuff.

I have a Dell Inspiron 3542 and there a lock screen and I use my windows live email and password, and now I don't remember the password I used someone can help? For now, I use my Dell Inspiron 1545 to my back upwards
If the computer is on an Internet connection, you can reset the password on the Windows Password Reset site. If the PC is not online right now if that won't work because it doesn't 'knows' the new password.
If there is another user account on the computer that has admin access, you can use it to reset your own password from the control panel.
If there is no other user accounts, there are a built-in backup Administrator account, but for security reasons, you can only get to Safe Mode.
I wrote a blog where I explain how to make each of these options: http://cmdrkeene.com/reset-forgotten-windows-password

How can I change the password on the computer when I don't remember the original?
Original title: How can I change my password if I don't remember but don't know the pin code and I know the password to my e-mail attached?
I don't remember the password to my computer as an administrator, but I don't know the pin code. I know my connected Hotmail account information and also the password but I don't remember the password so cannot download certain applications.
So I would like to know how to change the password.
Any assistance would be much appreciated!
Thank you.
You need the password to another one administrator-level account, or to the real real 'administrator' account?
If you use an administrator level account, you can enable the built-in true ' administrator' account, connect on it (she has no default password because it is disabled by default) and reset the password of another account from there.
To do this:
- Press + X to display the context menu, and then click computer management.
- On the left, click local users and groups, and then select the users folder.
On the right, you will see the account named Administrator. There must be an arrow down to this topic icon, indicating that the account is disabled. - Double-click the administrator account, and then uncheck the "account is disabled". Click OK to save your changes.
- Close the computer and connection to the administrator account.
- Back to the same page of user management. Right-click on the account with the unknown password and choose set password to set a new.
- Open log on to the administrator account and your regular account.
- Go back once more on behalf of users and disable the administrator account. You want to book it only in an emergency - if something had to get changed or broken in the administrator account, you have a downturn in the future to use.
I hope this helps!

Go to https://getsupport.apple.com . Click on "see all of the products and services ', then 'More', then 'Apple ID', then 'other Apple ID subjects' then 'security issues forgotten Apple ID". If you have problems with this test of this form: https://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html

Last year, I bought my laptop and I tried to create a second user account but I placed it somehow this account as the Admin user. I don't remember the password and my file vault is of course.
What password? You can change a password for the account, but if you do not know the FileVault password, you are in a bind. You need to call Apple directly if you their sent an emergency password when configuring the FV.
For a user account:
You forgot your password
Lion or later version
Reset a password in Mac OS X 10.7 Lion
OS X Lion mountain - reset a login password,
OS X Mavericks-solve password problems,.
OS X Lion-Apple ID can be used to reset your password for the user account.
