Change windows password without knowing current password

Can’t remember windows password ??. Every one knows that without knowing the current password we are unable to change Windows password.It’s very common that the current password slips out of your mind, then in such a case there is nothing to worry about. One can change such forgotten password by following methods:

Reset Windows Password from Command Prompt

This is an especially handy trick if you want to change a password on an account but you’ve forgotten the old password (going through the Control Panel can require confirmation of the old password). You need to have admin access to perform this change from the command line.

1. Open an elevated Command Prompt. Click on Start button, go to All Programs -> Accessories and right click on Command Prompt and select “Run as Administrator” from context menu. In Windows 8, you can do this by simply pressing Windows Key + X + A.
2. You can use the net user command to change Windows password easily, without supplying the old password:

net user username  new password

Replace username with your Windows account name, and new password with your desired new password.

If you’re totally locked out of Windows, you’re unable to run any program such as command line tool to change your password. In this situation, you need to use a bootable media to reset your Windows password.

Reset Windows Password with PCUnlocker
PCUnlocker is a bootable utility that can reset the password of any Windows user account. It works with all versions of Windows, including Windows 8.1 and Windows Server 2012. Follow these steps and you can change Windows password without knowing the old password:
