How to Get into Locked (Win 10/8/7) Computer without Password

We often tend to forget things like email id, user account or password (in particular), especially when it is either your laptop or desktop's login password. Well, this is quite annoying when you come across such password locked issue and can not access your PC. So, in this article, you will get to know about three easy techniques by which you can unlock a computer without a password.

#1 Get into Locked Computer without Password in Safe Mode

It is the primary technique to apply in case you can't unlock an user account. All you have to do is a simple password reset of locked user account. Here are the stepwise instructions of using this method:

Step 1: Switch on your locked PC and hit on "F8" button. Once you get the boot menu, there will be multiple options to boot the system. Click Safe Mode followed by the Enter key.

Note: In case you fail to find the boot menu, switch on the PC. Then decline the Windows boot process by using the reset button as soon as the logo of Windows pop up on screen. As the PC prepares to reboot, turn it off and switch on again. Doing this, will directly move you to the boot menu. Next, click on "Safe Mode".

Step 2: Now the PC will start up in "Safe Mode", which is only admin accessible. For this, you won't require a password by-default. So, you can access the system without any hindrance.

Step 3: Hit the Windows Start button from the taskbar and choose the "Control Panel". A folder named "User Accounts" will be there in it. So, open it to see all the user accounts configured on this PC. Next, pick the desired account that you want to unlock and modify its password to a desirable one.

Step 4: Finally, reboot the PC. Now your login account will pop up, where you have to put the modified password to access your locked PC.

 

Limitation: This method is quite time consuming and complicated.

#2 Get into Locked Computer without Password by Using Password Reset Disk

Assuming that you have a pre-created password reset disk, you can access your locked computer by utilizing the disk.

Step 1: Click on the "Reset password" link that appears on Windows account login screen. You will get this link just below the password dialog just after an unsuccessful account login attempt.

Step 2: Next, put the reset password disk into your locked Windows machine. Hit on "Next" as soon as Reset Password Wizard appears on the screen.

Step 3: Choose the relevant drive to locate the password reset disk. Now, put your new account password along with the password hint and hit "Next".

If the attempt is successful, then you will receive a confirmation message notifying "You have successfully reset the password for this user account". Now you are free to access the locked PC using the new login password that you created.

Limitation: If you didn't make the password reset disk before your Windows system got locked or have lost the disk, this method will not work out.
