Hey you and welcome! I'm Mr. Berry and in this whole video I'm going to show you how to change, reset, or
even remove a windows password all with a simple utility let's check it out you and I come on
hey here we are inside a windows login screen now what i'm going to do is I'm going to click
in there and attempt to put in the password oops it looks like I've forgotten the password
though now maybe this has happened to you with a computer that you haven't used in a while or maybe
even within an account within a computer that you haven't used in a while and you've forgotten the
password what i'm going to do is i'm going to show you how to actually uh download and use a utility
out on the internet and we're going to be putting it onto a thumb drive and the utility is called
pass fab for win key and i'm gonna have a link to that webpage down in the description of this video
now once you're at the website you notice it opens up and you have different choices for
the app there i'm going to be using the ultimate choice there and installing it onto a thumb drive
now you notice that all the versions there allow you to reset or remove a windows login password
the ultimate version also allows you to work with a microsoft account and resetting that as
well now for a quick disclaimer is it legal yes it is legal to reset or remove your own windows
password especially if you've forgotten it now next question is why am i promoting this product
well it's an easy to use product it basically you just download their utility onto a flash drive
and you plug it into the locked windows computer and you unlock it which is great to have
in my classroom i do teach or instruct other ways to do this but you have to have a windows cd or
you have to have a windows onto a thumb drive have the law steps and you actually get into the code
and change things manually so you have to know a lot about coding and doing that if
you want to do it the other way this way really forgoes all of that and just a few clicks away
hey you unlock the windows password and i think this is an easy way
to do it saves you a lot of time so that's why i'm promoting this product
now once you've purchased and downloaded the app and opened it you'll see this screen here
and on this screen here it says thanks for using pass fab for win key the program supports the
operations such as removing account passwords resetting account passwords deleting accounts
and even creating new account functions without reinstalling the windows computer system
before using this feature you should insert one disk which can be a cd or dvd or even a usb
thumb drive and that will be for burning the windows boot disk
so go ahead and do that now as i'm going to do that and then select the choice that you want
whether it be a cd or if you want to burn it into a usb flash drive now if you are putting
into a flash drive the flash drive should be larger than 16 gigs which is pretty common
and you have to remember that all the data on that drive will be erased so you want to use an
extra usb thumb drive so plug the drive into the usb port of your computer and
you notice you'll see the letter there and then select that drive by clicking on it
and then click on next now it gives you a warning it says all your data in that drive will be erased
during the burning process are you sure you wish to continue go ahead and click on next
and you'll see it burning the information now
to the drive and actually what it's doing is it's creating a windows boot drive
now after the burning is done you'll see this window come up here where it says burning
successful please follow the instructions below to continue so we want to insert the usb thumb drive
that you've created into the locked computer and then restart that locked computer then
immediately and repeatedly you'll be pressing the boot key until the bios setup utility appears now
depending on the brand of your computer it could be different keys that you press but many times
right when the computer is booting up if you look at that screen it'll actually say press the f2 or
press the f11 or press the f12 it will save one of those keys there to enter into the boot menu there
and here are some suggestions that they actually have on this screen so they're saying such
as press the f12 key if you have one of those computers there or the escape key the f9 or the
f key the f8 key if you have one of those other brands now like i said earlier it should say it
on that first screen and after you do that then you enter into a the boot menu and you'll select
the usb thumb drive to boot from now this is just a temporary change we don't want to make it as a
permanent change we just want to do it one time so we can be booting up from the thumb drive so that
we can boot up from the operating system here and with that utility and change that password
go ahead and click on next on this window now it shows you sample screens of what you might
see on your computer when you actually get into the boot menu and so it might be uh one
of these here the very first one there is an older style and basically you use your
keys on your keyboard so you use the down arrow key to select the usb drive and if you have a
newer computer you'll have one of these screens here as you see now go ahead and press next
and now you'll see this screen here once you have access to the lock pc from the bootable disk
choose the target windows system and features last select your locked account to unlock the computer
so now let's go over to my locked computer and let's unlock it with this utility
so take that usb that you've created and plug it into that locked computer and then turn it
on as you turn it on you'll notice that it'll have a small text in there saying
the boot menu as we talked about earlier go ahead and press that key in this case for me
it's the f12 key for the boot options and boom hey there's the boot options i'm going to scroll down
and choose the usb drive hit the enter key and now it attempts to boot up from the usb drive
there it is it's loading and you'll see the windows logo as well
after a moment or two you'll see this screen here now my computer has multiple operating systems on
yours you probably only have one but in this case i want to choose the windows 10 and i'm going to
go down and then click on windows 10. now click next after that you'll see the users and their
accounts names there go ahead and click on the one that you want in this case i'm going to click on
the very first one there called the administrator and now we have other options i'm going to choose
reset password go ahead and i'm clicking that now and now click next then you'll see this
window open up this allows you to key in the new password i'm going to choose something simple like
one two three four five so i'm going to key that in and then we'll click on reset
after that you'll see this coming up where it says resetting the password and then click on reboot
now the machine will come up and it will be starting up windows normally
and you should notice okay on mine i have multiple operating systems
so this is my boot menu so i'm going to choose windows 10 there
comes up you'll see the windows logo
now you see this message coming up saying congratulations you've resetted the
password there so go ahead and click on ok or done on that and let's try it out so i'm gonna
get into my account here and it works so now you see i'm inside of the desktop
