Before resetting Windows 10 password, you need to make a WindowsUnlocker Live USB (or CD drive) using another computer. If you don't have another PC laying around, you can borrow one from your friends or family.
- Download and save the WindowsUnlocker self-extracting Zip file to your desktop, then extract it locally and you'll get a disc image file labeled pcunlocker.iso.
-
Burn the ISO image file to a USB flash drive with the freeware ISO2Disc. Make sure you choose the GPT partition style because most Windows 10 computers come with UEFI secure boot.

Select a local account and then click the Reset Password button. The program will reset your Windows 10 user password, and activate/unlock your account in case it's locked out or disabled.
If you use a Microsoft account as your sign-in option, you'll see your email address displayed under the Description column. Choose the associated local account to proceed, the program will switch your Microsoft account to local account and remove its password quickly.
- Click the Restart button and unplug the USB drive. After rebooting, you can then log on to Windows 10 with your unlocked user account.
