Locked out of my PC—forgot my password! in IT Support · Jun 13, 2015

Hey everyone,
So, I got this new PC and I haven't touched it in like a month, and now I'm totally locked out because I forgot my password. I was checking some stuff on YouTube, and it seems like most people say you should just jump into Safe Mode and use CMD, or maybe grab a Windows installation disc.
The thing is, I found a workaround code, but even Safe Mode is asking me for a password. 😢
And when I tried to just reinstall Windows, it wouldn't even let me in.
I guess if anyone could help me out, that would be awesome.

Thanks!

Anyone still running Windows 7? in Software · Jun 13, 2015

Hey everyone,
So I got this new PC and I haven't touched it in like a month, and now I've totally blanked on my login password. I was checking out some stuff on YouTube, and it seems like most people say you should just boot into Safe Mode and use CMD, or maybe grab a Windows installation disc.
The thing is, I found a workaround, but even Safe Mode is asking me for a password.
And when I tried running a fresh Windows installation, it just wouldn't load.
I'm kinda lost, please help me out.

Thanks
