Finished my PC build finally. It booted into Windows, fully working, and I forgot my password. Fuck. It's only my account on it and, it sucks.

 

Help.

I am no expert on this forums' rules. But I don't know if we're allowed to help with cracking a windows password. I am going to assume no.

if it is a local account and not connected to anything. why not reinstall windows?

 

i think there is a way to reset the password in safe mode. dunno how though

Downloading .iso now. Will keep looking to reset it though.

If you haven't got any valuable data on the drive then a full Windows reinstallation might be the way to go.
