He just got out wardrobe to update and I forgot the password its been awhile
Hello grahamoverkill.stringfellow,
Unfortunately, we are not allowed by Microsoft to provide any information on the workaround (hacking) the password of any software.
If you have actually forgotten the user password, then one option is to re - install the operating system.
This forum post is my own opinion and does not necessarily reflect the opinion or the opinion of Microsoft, its employees or other MVPS.

Hello
Try this - use the hidden administrator account to lower your user account (to the lowest level) APPLY/OK
then go back and reset it to the Admin APPLY/OK - this clearly allows corruption. Do this several times.
Then fix the password in your usual account. Do not forget to leave your account administrator if you
wish.Make another Admin account with your password and use it to fix the others if necessary. (just for
repair, don't use regular account, not a safety valve) always keep a spare ADMIN account.DO NOT LEAVE THE ENABLED LSA OR USE DAILY. If it corrupts you are toast!

I have two user accounts, now I forgot the password of an account with administrative privileges, how can I reset or remove this password
I have two user accounts, now I forgot the password of an account with administrative privileges, how can I reset or remove this password
There are a lot of options built into Windows to help you out of this situation:- Restart the computer with your Windows repair CD, then use system restore to set Windows in a few days (only works if you have recently changed the password).
- Log in as administrator mode without failure, then reset the password for your existing account (the password is usually empty).
- Insert your flash drive USB with the password key file (only works if you have taken the time to create such a key file).
- Use the password indicator (works only if you have created a hint and if it's good enough to allow you to guess the password)
- Check your paper files (works only if you threw down the password somewhere)
After solving this problem, plan in advance and create, test and document an alternative admin account, same as you have a spare House key. -

There is absolutely nothing we can do to help you remember your password.
