Today I was just surfing the net and I came across Calvyn’s blog. You know how crazy I am about computer tweaks. So, I went to its ‘Tips and Tricks’ category and there I found a new way to clear Window’s login password. I know many other ways but not this one. This is just a simple command prompt commands and it’s not that big trick either. The problem with this is that you have to be logged in to the Windows already. While resetting it won’t asks for the old password though. Here’s how you do it:
- Click Start -> Run -> type cmd (this opens a Command Prompt window)
- Type ‘net user’ (without the quotes)
- You will see the available user in your PC
- To clear that particular user password
- Type ‘net user
’ (e.g. net user admin hello)
(In the e.g. above ‘admin’ is the username and ‘hello’ is the password)
But a slight different that I wanted to give my readers is with the ability to give a blank password using the same command. If you want to have a blank password there has to be brought a little twist with the command. For this:
- Type ‘ net user
* ’ (e.g. net user admin *) - This will ask you to type the password and re-type again to confirm. You can also put a blank password in here.
Enjoy and practice this trick. It is practice that makes a man perfect.
