Reset Administrator password in Windows 10

Working on a computer with a simple Windows user account is pretty dull, especially if a malicious admin has blocked some important things. For example, launching games or. In such a situation, the easiest way would be to reset the admin password for logging into the system, log in as an admin and hammer in all the bans, but sometimes they can be punished for this. What to do?

There is an exit! Today we'll talk about how to bypass the Windows administrator password to enable locked functions so that the administrator doesn't guess anything.

Rescue Kon-Boot

The password of the Windows account, including the administrator, is far from a barn lock. In terms of strength, it rather resembles a latch: it does not seem to let it go, but if you press a little harder - and it flew off. Fall off! And what kind of protection is this if any “mother's hacker” names offhand a couple of utilities that can bring it down in a few minutes?

Since password protection is so unreliable, it means that it can be bypassed without resetting - the creators of the utility reasoned. Kon-Boot... And they turned out to be right: thanks to their labors, a small application appeared that can disable the password request when logging into the system under any account.

The utility does not delete or change the current password. All it does is modify the data in the computer's RAM so that the operating system "forgets" to verify what the user enters with what is stored in its databases. This only happens when the program is running. After using it, no traces remain in the system.

Kon-Boot supports all editions of Windows x32-64 on desktops and laptops. And not only Windows: there is a modern version of the utility for Mac OS X, and its early releases, which can still be found on the web, support many Linux distributions.

The current Windows version of Kon-Boot at the beginning of 2018 is 2.7, allows you to bypass password requests not only for local, but also for network accounts. The last function does not work in Windows 10 - users of the "dozen" can bypass only local protection. But we will not be upset because of this, because what is available is enough to disable admin locks.

Unfortunately, the utility has a number of limitations to its use. It will not meet your expectations if:

• The disk on which the OS is installed is encrypted.
• Multiple operating systems are installed on the computer.
• The system uses a non-standard bootloader.
• Users are authenticated through the domain.
• The system is on a mobile device or in a virtual machine.

In other cases, success is almost guaranteed. And if you are not embarrassed that the application is paid - a personal license starts at $ 25, go for it. And if it's embarrassing, I'll share a secret: you can find images of BootPass or Hiren's Boot CDs, which include Kon-Boot, on torrent trackers.

How to use the utility

In order for the application to influence the processes that occur when Windows starts, it must start working even earlier. That is, Kon-Boot must be written to a bootable media (USB flash drive, laser disk, etc.) and every time you need to bypass the password, boot the computer from this media.

The program includes 3 sets of files:

• To create a bootable USB drive (with support for UEFI systems).
• To create bootable CDs or DVDs (no UEFI support, BIOS only).
• To create bootable floppy disks (BIOS only).

The last two are outdated versions of the application, which are kept in the distribution for the sake of compatibility with old PCs.

The distribution also includes KonBootInstaller - a tool for creating bootable media.

Before starting to work with the program, unpack it from the archive into a separate folder. Next, connect a clean drive and run KonBootInstaller.exe. All this must be done on a machine where you have an administrator account, since the installer needs elevated rights for further actions.

• If recording is made to a USB flash drive, select it from the list " AvailableUSBdrives"In the main window of the installer. If other USB storage devices are connected to the computer, disconnect them.
• Click on the " Installto... ”corresponding to the media type.

• Confirm your consent to the operation by clicking " Yes"In the next window.

• The progress of further actions will be displayed in the console window. Please note that during the creation of the bootable media, all information on it will be destroyed.

• After successful completion of the installer, you will see the message “ Alldone!»Click OK.

If an error message appears during recording “ Error installing to USB, please check the log file", Open the Kon-Boot folder (where the program was unpacked) \ kon-bootUSB \ USBFILES and rename the file konboot.lst v menu.lst... Then repeat the procedure for creating the media.

Everything is almost ready. It remains to connect the newly created USB flash drive or disk with the utility to the desired computer (UEFI), and voila! Also, if the Secure Boot option is enabled in UEFI, it must be disabled.

After restarting the PC, the Kon-Boot picture will appear on the screen instead of the Windows splash screen. Hooray!! You did it!

Then everything is elementary. Enter any characters in the password entry field for the administrator account. Windows without objection "eats" them and in a few seconds will transfer you to your desktop. Open the group policy reactor (GpEdit.msc) and disable locks or solve your problems right here.

Please be aware that using hacking tools such as Kon-Boot in places where it is not allowed (work, school, etc.) can have negative consequences for you. And all responsibility for following the tips in this article will fall entirely on you. So be careful. And may good luck be with you!
