Windows Default Password?

[RelentlessAF]

Hey guys I just did a fresh install of the windows technical preview (to test parts while I wait to buy 8.1) and I chose no password during startup (left the field blank) however if I try to leave it blank to sign in it says my password is incorrect. I'm assuming it set a default password, any ideas?

The default password is no password.

 

If you connected a microsoft account to it then the password is the same as it is for your microsoft account.

Cant help you!! but sounds like you don't have much to loose with a new install again.. GO GO might be faster then waiting.

That's what I was doing

[RelentlessAF]

Click "other user"

Username: "administrator"

No password.

No such option is there

Picture/screenshot please.

Have you tried simply rebooting? Maybe Win10 just derped since it's alpha software..

Already reinstalled so its whatever nows

im kinda curious to see if the oldschool, boot from a win2000 disk trick still works on 10... i know it worked on 8.1(and everything else all the way back to at least win'95)  im just not willing to install 10 until it works properly

I am willing to bet this is correct.

I agree with @TheKDub, he is right, as for default password. The first time you logon Windows, it will let you create a account and password. You think this is the default password? In fact, this is the option. If you forgot Windows login password, just use ophcrack or others like Advaced Windows password recovery tool. Or search others on Google

Try anyways?

Right. Read that. Starting with Windows 8, your Microsoft account password becomes your local login as well.

There is no microsoft account linked to the PC though.

To Windows password recovery, the easy way for me to fix that case is to use a powerful Windows password recovery software on Google.
 Smartkey Windows Password Recovery is such a tool for me.

you dint actually have to link your login to a Microsoft account.

 

I believe on 8 you had to do to it then create a local user once it booted then delete the Microsoft one. That's since changed and in 10 you can just click I dint have an account and then skip, great local account.

Does the "boot to recovery console, replace the accessibility program with cmd.exe, reboot, net user command" hack still work in Windows 10?

Here is a suggestion, try booting from the CD and go to the recovery console. At the console type "Net user" which shows the administrator and guest accounts. Then type again "Net user <accountname> <password>". That will change the password from old to the new one. That is worth trying.

That still works as i just tried it.
