Thankyou soooo much! Stupidly when tired had to change my password last night. when I woke trying to finish a client project due today i'd forgotten the password. Tried a couple of different solves but they didn't work, so glad I came across this!
So glad to hear it! Thx for your support :)
One thing to remember is that if the account has spaces in the username, you must use quotes around the username only.
Great video!! Thanks!!
That is correct. Excellent point, thank you for bringing that up! And thank you for the compliment
What if you are using a surface and can’t find quotes?
@raymond9143504 you might need to use your on screen keyboard in that case
@@AskYourComputerGuy I was working on my moms friend computer late at night lol. Realized she bought a French keyboard. I am tech support for all of her friends (60+)
@raymond9143504 I wouldn't even know where to start with a French keyboard. Maybe close my eyes and let muscle memory take over? 😂
That did the trick, THANK YOU!! We had an employee leave the company, and we lost access to his laptop. Following your instructions got it sorted out. Cheers!
Excellent! 👍
It worked for me great clear explanation!! You dah man!
Soooo glad to hear that!!!
Worked like a charm with one try. Thanks.
Awesome! Thanks for your sub and your support! Glad the video helped you :)
Thank you! The only up to date tutorial.
Thanks! Hope it was able to help you out!
@@AskYourComputerGuy It sure did, do you also have a tutorial how to get Utilman back to it's default place?
I thought I had mentioned it there, but maybe it was another video. From the C:\ prompt, you can just type copy utilman.exe c:\windows\system32 and say YES when asked to overwrite. Now everything is back to normal again
Thank you so much! You saved me from having to delete all of my files to reinstall windows.
Fantastic!!!
@@AskYourComputerGuy Thanks! 😁
Hello for those of you who get error on command line (something like "filepath not found") its probably becose your .windows folder isnt in C: but most likely in D: fix is to run while on X:\Aources > dir d:\ (or dir e:\) till you found windows folder in answer :)
ya if windows in on another drive or account is not local its online account, then you need to follow the other vid to create another admin account.
Hi I have this error but my windows file in c now what should I do?
I had to just mount it by cd C: or whatever letter then mount the folder cd Windows once your in the directory and then i went one step further and mounted the System32@@Golnaz_Korooni
Wonderful!!!
From that blue screen: "Automatic repair can't......." I will be able to perform that task even thought I don't have that Admin password right?
You know what? I believe it even before performing the task. Your videos are courses IT for me Scott. You don't even Imagine man!!!
great video, this was a quick and easy way to bypass a local account password. One road block I experienced was that the cmd prompt seemed to time out and disappear if I did not execute the commands quick enough. Any comments on this? I do run Kaspersky on the machine I used to test this (if that may be relevant).
Never heard of the command prompt window timing out. To make that happen would require an a Windows function call, which sounds virus-driven. But with Kaspersky, that's not likely. Definitely an odd problem I've never seen
It worked for me. Thanks
So glad to hear it! Thanks for watching :)
Very helpful, thanks. ❤
My pleasure! 💪
your the greatest man. thank you
Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed the video! I appreciate your supporting my channel :)
Thanks. This worked while some others did not. Very clear directions.
Thank you!
Magnifique !!! fast and clear explanation . many thanks ( you won a new follower from france ) cheer up 💪🏻
Merci beaucoup! Je suis content que la vidéo vous ait aidé !
Thankyou for your very helpful reply.
I will give your recommendation a go.
You are most welcome
I had to use this on two different pcs. One was a little stubborn and had to remove the mb battery in order to reset the bios. But everything works now and I like that the cmd prompt if now available for any future snafus! Thank you! ;)
Nice! Well done! 💪
@@AskYourComputerGuy thank you! Your videos are brief and to the point!
@reenieg3019 thanks, I appreciate that!
Great thank you 👍 still works on Windows 11😂
You're actually the Man!! THANK YOU
Glad to help 👍
I have a question. With the windows installation disc. Can I get it on a different computer and then plug the Disc/USB drive into another computerv And the computer that I wanna get into is not mine but it’s families and we need it to stop any subscriptions that is still in the computer. So will this reset to the computer delete any important info or just the password?
Yes absolutely. No, it will not delete any files. You are only bypassing the existing accounts, creating a new one and then using that one to clear the password on the account you can't access. Totally safe, no harm to any files on the computer whatsoever. Great question, thanks!!!
@@AskYourComputerGuy alright thanks man. Have a good day
You too! Make sure to leave a comment after you get it working! Thx
@@AskYourComputerGuy one more question. With the CD BURNER program. Will I need that for USB drive or just download the Windows key and place it into the USB drive?
You only need the CD Burner program for actual CD or DVD. Not for the flash drive
Thanks sir , you did a great job
-------- A huge update -------
first of all thank you for sharing this method with us mr. creators ❤️
i have created a rescue usb disk from another computer and using that usb i followed this tutorial and voila. worked as charm.
Thanks again sir sharing this method.from srilanka ❤️❤️❤️
Fantastic! Thanks for watching from so far away! 👍❤️
it worked for me i’m happy 😁
Super happy to hear this! 👍
Nailed it !
Do I need to revert any of the utilman or cmd files that were copied or changed after I'm able to log in?
You don't have to, as long as you don't need them to perform the way they did before the change 👍
Great video & very clear instructions. However when I click on the DVD box it returns to that page requiring my password; It doesn't go into the windows startup screen. Can you help at all please?
You are still using your Microsoft troubleshooting menus, which are attached to your Microsoft login. Try creating a Microsoft boot disc, that will eliminate the need to use your password. It will require a spare computer and a flash drive but it will work to solve your issue:

You're the Best....around....nothin's gonna ever keep you down!
LOL nice 😂
The version of windows that I have to install on the USB must be the same version as that of the computer that I want to bypass?
The same or higher, yes. If you have W7, then you need at least 7, 10 or even 11. It might work the other way, but I doubt it
Excellent tutorial
Glad you liked it
Thank you so much
You're so welcome!
I went ahead to try and I get to the part for command prompt and i get not recognized as an internal or external command. I believe my issue is TMP or something in the ball security locked me out thinking it was a brood attack so I'm stuck
So you couldn't even enter command prompt?
I haven’t gotten the installation disk yet . I had seen other people show you how to bypass but feel that they are incomplete. I don’t get this command prompt window. I this i see it flash for a second but then goes to blue screen titled command prompt and to select account to continue. Hi has the account name and when selecting, it asks for password to continue. I was given computer from a company that went out of business. Will the command prompt appear if I get the installation disk?
The command prompt will appear, same as the troubleshooting window. From there, you can reset password, reinstall Windows, etc
I know its been a year but I recommend buying a new disk and doing a clean install and later plugging that disk in and formating it, sometimes companies really put a barrier on the os to lock it.
I made a video about exactly this issue - company completely locked the OS setup. Easy workaround, doesn't require a new drive. Just an installer disc:

While I don't encourage theft, and I assume you mean that you got it for a great price because it was locked.....You're welcome :)

I'm seriously hoping you're joking 😂
I know it’s an old video but could really use the help! Got to the final step and when I tried changing my password it says “the system is not authoritative for the specified account…” any solutions?
This might help:

OMG! It worked!
Awesome!
I followed this procedure. When I restart the computer after removing the USB drive, and I press the 'ease of access' button, I do not see the command prompt window. The screen remains unchanged with the user name and password entry line there, as before. Any idea what is going wrong? Thanks.
Best guess is that you didn't overwrite the utilman.exe file. That's the most common problem. The icon points to utilman.exe, so if you replace that with cmd.exe, it will open command prompt. Try again and verify that it asks you to confirm overwriting the file
@@AskYourComputerGuy Success! Thank you.
Glad to hear it!
I spammed it and it worked
I am going to try this, but wanted to ask how to get back the “ease of access” to normal as it was? Thank you.
Once completed and able to get back into windows, you can repeat the process, then from c:\ command prompt, type copy utilman.exe c:\windows\system32 and say YES to overwrite. Super simple
@@AskYourComputerGuy thanks alot, will try this and update you with the result.
My pleasure. Hope it helps you out!
I’ve started the process now with a windows USB connected, after clicking “Use a device” i see many options “USB CD, USB FDD, NVMe0, NVMe1, ATA HDD0, ATA HDD1, ATA HDD2, USB HDD, PXE BOOT” so, would u please advise which option should i use?
@@AskYourComputerGuy i’ve chosen USB HDD, and now in the CMD when i type “cd windows/system32” it says “the system can’t find the path specified” so, what should i do?
It keeps showing "DNS server not authoritative for zone" when i try to change the password
The only time that error occurs is when there is disc corruption OR you are running that command from the wrong location. Run system file checker first..from a command prompt, type SFC /scannow and then try again after the scan
Will this work if I've been locked out? I was cleaning juice from keyboard and I guess it thought I was hacking it. I tried a1b2c3 but when I type it says incorrect that's all, no timer no reason and most of all no log in options. I'm at a loss any suggestions.
Absolutely yes
Thanks it worked great, but can you explain how to reset utilman.exe so the command prompt doesn't display.
I thought I addressed it in the end of the video, but maybe not. Jus reverse the original process of renaming. If you backed up utilman.exe to utilman.bak, then you can "copy utilman.bak utilman.exe". Basically you're replacing the utilman.xxx back to its original location. The "new" utilman is actually cmd.exe (command prompt), so we have to put it back to where it was originally
@@AskYourComputerGuy Thanks
bro this video is god tysm
Thanks for watching, glad it helped!!!
Great! Are there any extra steps so that utilman.exe performs it main function again? Would I need to delete the copy that was made in step one?
If you renamed the file, just delete the copy of cmd and rename the original util file back to its original :)
@@AskYourComputerGuy ayy yoooo that worked thank man!
My pleasure! Thanks for your support :)
does it delete any file in the computer?
It does not delete anything whatsoever. You're safe there!
@@AskYourComputerGuy try message cytro44 on instagram for help
I don't need an expert. I am the expert. Please don't spam my channel
when I clicked us a device and selected the usb, it just normally restarted the computer back to the login screen. I have the windows iso saved on the usb drive. what am I doing wrong?
Probably because it's not bootable, it's just a file on the drive. Use Rufus to take that ISO and make it bootable 💪
Problem is after I copy the cmd.exe to utilman.exe.. It is there immediately after copy but somehow it automatically is deleted. Any ideas as to why this is happening?
Deleted as in "it vanished"? There's no reason for that unless the cmd/utilman file is infected and your antivirus is quarantining it immediately. Only thing that I can imagine that would cause it to just disappear without user intervention
Mine says error 8646 has occured. Stating the system is not authoritative for the specified account
This error occurs when you try to change a Microsoft account password from a net user command. This video is how to reset a local account user. There is another video I made on how to bypass a Microsoft account password, that should help you.
Does it work with pins too
Yes, it will. Again, you aren't clearing the Windows login, you are bypassing it to get into the user's profile. Microsoft security is pretty tight. This is the only way to get around it that I have found.
@Fiddausi Hamman when did bots come. Anyone, don't trust them.

Best bet is to follow the steps to reset your Microsoft password. Once you hwve that and can login and remove S-mode 👍
Doesn't work for me after i click ease of access followed tips to a T
Did you download or use the Windows installer? Hundreds of people have followed my instructions to the T and it works just fine. There is obviously a step that was missed. I would be happy to help if you tell me what happened
when copying the utilman i get "access denied 0 items copied" is there a way to grant access?
You have to run the commands as administrator
@@AskYourComputerGuy Thanks, running as admin allows the copy but I still get access denied when trying to overwrite.
Trying to do it when already logged in, not going through the flash drive boot method, will that be affecting it?
That's likely why, because the file is in use. Try the flash boot method, which will absolutely allow it 👍
What if my administration password as well as microsoft password that I don't know How can I acess it now plz help 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
This video shows you how to clear any local password, including an administrative password. I just made a video two weeks ago with software that shows how to clear a Microsoft password using some specialized software. I also have another video similar to this one you watched that shows you how to access files under your Microsoft account, but won't let you clear the password, just bypass it
Hi, please help me. im stuck right now at 3:37 because it says, "system cant find the file specified." What should i do?
This happened after inputting "copy cmd.exe utilman.exe
That would only happen if the cmd.exe file is not located in the path you are in. Are you at a c:\ prompt or somewhere else?
@@AskYourComputerGuy slr i just finished rebooting windows but thanks anw
Gotcha. Let me know if you have any further problems. I'm pretty sure my instructions were spot on, but I've been known to make mistakes too ;)
Thank you very much for answering my questions :)
I run into some problem. The Windows on my computer is on D drive. I think I followed all the steps. But then when I restarted the computer the ease of access does not do anything when I click it. Before there were some features and they are all disappeared. One more question: when I copy the utilman.exe file or execute other commands do I need to type D:\ in the end? Thanks a lot.
So,you're saying that when you login to Windows, it actually shows your files and Windows folder on D drive, or is that only happening when running a specific utility? That isn't that uncommon as a virtual drive is created to run utilities on C and it has to be free and unlocked to use it
@@AskYourComputerGuy Thank you. Yes, I first tried C driver, but I couldn't copy the file. After switching to D and use dir I saw the windows system is on D. I also took out the drive and connected to another computer and everything seems to be just on one drive.
I was not able to log in and see the structure of the hard drive. Only when I was running the specific utility.
Sounds like your MBR (master boot record) is damaged. Try these steps to repair it: pureinfotech.com/repair-master-boot-record-mbr-windows-10/
Yeah my guess is MBR. If you can repair it, that should put the C drive back as the boot drive. If that doesn't work, you can try a Windows refresh from the troubleshooting menu. After that, I would reinstall Windows to fix it for certain
if u see this can u pls help everytimes im trying to dawonlaod somting pop up and say do you want to allow this app to make shanges to your device RetailAdmin
Go to settings and turn off User Account Control :)
And sometimes you will see that anytime a registry change is attempted. Disabling UAC will help though
@@AskYourComputerGuy how do i do that
I'm actually about to make a video on how to do this. Go to search bar, type UAC and select user account control settings. Bring the slider all the way down to "never notify" and that's it
ok what if the same ting pop up aigain
hi, I tried to change the directory to windows\system32 but I got an error which says "system cannot find the specified path". could u help me plss
That sometimes happens with typos. Make sure your backslash is \ not /
Also try c:\windows (enter). Then from that prompt, type cd system32. That will definitely take care of your issue. The only time system32 doesn't exist is if Windows isn't working at all :)
@@AskYourComputerGuy I already tried those and it didn't work but fixed the issue with a different way. I got into system image recovery with that flash boot and accessed system files. Then I renamed cmd to "Utilman" so I can access the prompt command from the login screen. Finally I changed the password with that cmd and logged in. For the people who was in the same trouble, you can try this.
@@boomi3 how to set back cmd.exe normal because it doesn't work anymore for me in my pc
@@boomi3 glad you were able to reset it!
I just tried to change my password using “net user” and it didn’t say anything about changing the password and it didn’t work?
Did you just type net user or net user followed by username etc?
Managed to do it thank you!!!!
great
Can't we go to cmd prompt directly without the os
Yes, that's how you have to reset the password
Will it work with windows 8 or only on windows 10?
It should also work on Windows 8 no problem!
@@AskYourComputerGuy Thanks man.
Pressing the ease of access now does nothing
You must have missed a step. By default it opens utilman.exe unless you replace it with cmd. Go through the steps and double check
Will this work on windows 11 as well?
Yes. Command line structure hasn't changed from 10 to 11. Go for it!
How to do that on microsoft account
Watch this one instead:
czcams.com/video/EK-rWgRrNHM/video.html
@@AskYourComputerGuy still bo way to bypass auth for microsoft account or remove microsoft ?
You can bypass it to get in and see the files under that profile, but no way to clear the password. It's attached to Microsoft. However, once you are in and create an admin account, you can absolutely delete the Microsoft account. I've done it hundreds of times.
@@AskYourComputerGuy there's no way to get access in the profile, even with a bootable usb ?
Only through the back end. Once you are in the machine under an admin account, you can access all of those files under the Microsoft account. No way to bypass the password. None. But if you just need access to the files, this will work
Do I download the windows 10 tool
Yes. When you download the tool and run it, it will auto create the boot drive you need, either on USB flash or DVD. You should be able to specify during the process which you want to use
Does his mean if my laptop is stolen (which it was today) the thief can access my files?
If they know how to bypass your password, yes.
is it bug on windows or do it in purpose as a secret?
Explain?
@@AskYourComputerGuy that utilman.exe that can be transform as a cmd.
I still have a problem, while clicking command problem, it's still ask for account password
You will probably need to get a Windows installer disc then. You can do that here: How to LEGALLY download Windows 7, 8 or 10 or Office FREE!

@@AskYourComputerGuy thank you. I'll have to get it
Good luck!
Can you tell how to get the old password like remind me the old password
When you try to login and click on the -> if you had set up a reminder when you first created the account, you will see it there. If you left it blank, you won't see one
Can a password change by itself in windows 10
No
So I tried this, but my local login is the administrator one, but when I sign in it says my first name: Beth. I tried every combination I can think of, but nothing works. Help???
The only reason it wouldn't work with this method is if it is a Microsoft account. When you list the users, one of them has to be yours. When you choose the correct account and reset the password, that's the new password. It's all stored locally
@@AskYourComputerGuy I tried the Microsoft account thing, but that isn't it either. When I looked for the users, there were 2. The first one said "Administrator Beth Myers Default User". Under that was one named Guest, which isn't me. When I open to my home screen to enter my password, the user is listed as Beth. So do I tell it to change the password for Administrator, or Beth, or Beth Myers? All of them didn't work.
@bethmyers8070 try "Beth Myers" with quotes. Probably the space between the words
Worst case, change the administrator account. Then you can login to Windows with it and change anything you want
@@AskYourComputerGuythat worked!!! Thank you!!
you da man...
Legendary.
did it work for pin?
It cant find utilman😭
Make sure you are in the c:\windows\system32 folder. That is where it is located. You can also do a search on c (type CD.. twice to go back to root of C). To search, type "dir
util*.* /s ...that will show you the location of the file if it has been moved for some reason.
Just continue troubleshooting and turn off pc
My laptop won't boot, when I try to boot, the automatic repair thing comes up, please help me out😪
Did you do any of the troubleshooting options under advanced mode when the blue screen eventually came up? System restore, uninstall updates, etc?
@@AskYourComputerGuy It locked me out. Everything requires a password.
You'll need to download the Windows installer so can get into a command prompt without password to clear out the password. I made a video on how to download one to USB. You'll need access to a working computer and a clean USB drive. Once you create that and boot to it (or Windows DVD if you have one), then the instructions will work for you and allow you to clear your password and get back into your PC
@@AskYourComputerGuy I have a DVD but it isn't booting to it at all. It's the same disc I've installed Windows with. However when I try to boot, the automatic repair comes up.
Go into your BIOS, change from UEFI to legacy so you can boot to CD/DVD. UEFI uses Windows boot manager and doesn't give you boot options
Bro look at your subs
Yeah, I noticed. A little disconcerting except for the fact that it happens to everyone at some point LOL
@@AskYourComputerGuy yeah true
@@AskYourComputerGuy I'll just uneven it by subscribing 😊
Awesome thanks!
It says disk error how I fix that
At what point are you seeing that? Anytime you see a disc error, that's not good. That means either the drive you are accessing has a problem, or the flash drive you are using does. Regardless, that needs to be addressed first.
Did you figure out the source of the disco error?
@@AskYourComputerGuy i was impatient i just factory reset it
Error Can't find path
Is there a way to bypass a PIN?
Not sure on that. But the system still has a password even if a PIN is used. Bypass the password and you reset the pin as well

Oh wait command propmt is available already under troubleshooting
Yes
The "use a device" option doesnt exist

@Ask Your Computer Guy i have the second thing installed on my usb. Im trying to open an old dell optiplex 390 that runs on windows 10. There is only one user account and for every option I try it keeps telling me to restart and login. Ive tried this but the option just isnt there.
Restart by holding down shift when restarting in Windows. That will give you the troubleshooting menus. If those menus don't help, tap F12 at startup and you can change your boot drive to the flash drive and repair menus will be available there
IF YOU DONT HAVE A WIN10 CD THIS IS USELESS
Most people don't have one. Microsoft preloads most OS on recovery partition. Which is why I also explain how to download the Windows installation disc onto DVD or flash drive for free
Thanks for Nothing. Rename the vid ffs
Please explain. I described exactly how to get around a locked Microsoft password without paying. There is another way to access the account but it cost $20
i make these quick reference notes for these things, faster to fall back on than trying to watch the video.
