Forgot your local user password?

 Recently I forgot my local user password.

I haven't used it in ages, as I use Microsoft Helo as my computer “password”, so forgive me if I lost my local user password.

Instead of pulling your hairs because of it, simply follow these steps:

  1. Open an elevated command prompt.
    • Press Win+R,
    • Type cmd,
    • Press Shift+Ctrl+Enter, and
    • Confirm the UAC warning.
  2. Type the following command:
    net user <user_name> *
  3. Type your new password and press enter.
  4. Retype the password you just typed and press enter.
And you're done.
