Need some help to bypass Windows 10 login screen

[haslemis]

My Dell laptop (runs Windows 10 Pro) keeps refusing my password and says it is incorrect. Currently, I am locked out even I input the right password. I don't know how this error pops up. Can I bypass Windows 10 login screen under such circumstance?

Are you using a local or Microsoft Online login?

If it's up to date you probably can't change the password directly via recovery however you can with a windows installer or linux USB.

If you have a windows installer DVD/USB just boot to that and select your language, in the corner there should be a 'repair your PC' button or something like that, click it and click advanced > command prompt

find the drive letter with your windows install on it (this can be done with diskpart or similar, it's probably not C:\ as the USB is probably using C:\.

once you find the letter rename osk.exe to osk.exe.old with this command (replace X with drive letter)

ren X:\Windows\System32\osk.exe osk.exe.old

and copy cmd.exe/rename copy to osk.exe (effectively replacing the On screen keyboard with CMD) (hit f to select file if it asks)

xcopy X:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe X:\Windows\System32\osk.exe

now you can reboot to Windows and select the little ease of access thing in the corner of the login screen

 

Click On-Screen Keyboard, it should open a CMD window.

now you can change the account password by typing: (replace username with the username (if you don't know it there should be a folder in C:\Users\ titled the username) and password with the password you want to set)

net user USERNAME PASSWORD

At this point you should be able to log in with the new password

Be sure the delete the OSK.exe (which is actually CMD) and replace it with the original after you log in.

 

There might be a way to change user passwords via Windows Recovery USBs however every time I've tried it either hasn't worked or requires the existing admin account's login (making it useless)...

If you have other accounts (Working),like Microsoft account and command prompt,they can also be a good method to remove orbypass password for Dell laptop.

To send an email to Microsoft to create a new password and wait for its reply.

And some third-party software is also a good alternative,listing here:
