Thank you. Genius!
You’re welcome! Happy to hear this helped.
Brother, will this reset my original account files? Need solution ASAP
Sultan Wadood If you are asking if will you lose your files, for 99% of folks the answer is no. If you went out of your way to encrypt your account or files, then I think windows will tell you up front that your actions will result in file loss. If you never see the warning message you should be good.
Hey, I got to the part where I do the thing with local users and groups but it gives me the message "This snapin may not be used with this edition of Windows 10. To manage user accounts for this computer, use the User Accounts tool in the Control Panel." I wasnt given many options by the panel either. Am I running on top early or to late a version of Windows 10?
Shift+Restart from the Login screen brings up the repair menus. You can get to cmd from there. If the admin account does not display in the login screen, you can edit the registry from cmd.
Thx
I HAVE USED THAT MOVE, ITS BEST AND SIMPLE!!! THANX FOR THE HEADS UP AGAIN..
@@raphaelmahumane1648how exactly
Thing is I can’t find cmd there
But how?
dude i could fucking kiss you. this has been making me tear my hair out for over 18 months (i've picked it up, got frustrated and basically had a very expensive rock sitting in my study for that long). for those who had my issue where windows wanted me to put my password in before i could go into command prompts (ugh) the only way i finally got it to work was to have the windows installation on a usb, boot into that but then go repair my pc, then troubleshoot and command prompts, then follow above for copying command prompts instead of ease of access. and following the rest of the tutorial from there.
just omg, I really didnt want to lose all my files and you've saved me from that im so grateful
Thank you so much for the comment! I'm very glad to hear that this was a help!
Hey Robert Mayer ,
I just want to say thank you so much for this tool ! I locked myself out of my computer of course and searched on TH-cam for what to do I tried a couple different videos of other users and nothing worked so I called around and went to a couple places asking if they could do it and got quoted 300$ +
I ended up coming back home thinking I was going to have to remember the password regardless of how long it took. I ended up looking on TH-cam again and came across your video .
It worked . I’m logged into my user . I added the second user and switched the settings on mine to not be admin and then changed the password in control panel so a couple extra steps just to save my account . Again thank you so much because I did not think I’d be back on it right now .
I appreciate that you have this information out for people to download free . I think it’s crazy that you offer this and help people out and yet companies charge crazy money . Unless that’s only where I’m from in ottawa Ont. regardless , thank you and I hope me subscribing to your Chanel helps you out !
Stay safe
You saved my butt! I had to call Microsloth to figure out where my BL Key was but once I got that I was able to follow all the steps and boom I am back into my local account. I appreciate!
Glad you're back into your computer, that's great! Thanks so much for the comment, I really appreciate it!
When im in advanced options it askes for my password to use command prompt pls halp
honestly a life saver. I was really scared after I tried every single password and could not get in. Thank you so much Robert.
You’re most welcome! Thank you for the comment!
What if the pc has an administration password?
Robert, this video saved my life. Thanks so much man. Content like these are the real super hero henceforth must be appreciated by everyone and i am doing my bit.
That's great to hear! Thanks for much for your feedback, I truly appreciate the kind words.
@Robert Mayer, your tool was amazing! I am very grateful that you took the time to create it.🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
Well thank you very much for the comment, I really appreciate it!
STUNNING.. best video i've seen on recovery ever.!
Thank you so much for the positive and encouraging comment! I really appreciate it! I’m also glad this video was helpful to you.
Thanks man 👍🏻👍🏻! I was gifted a old Toshiba c-55a with windows 8 from a family member who forgot the password and no longer had any use for it. Backdooring the system32 to run “net user administrator /active:yes” then restart was perfect. I was then able to login under the new “administrator” account and make changes to the pc. I was even able to access said family members files through the hard drive “users” folder and ultimately delete the account all together and make the PC all mine. Cheers🍻
Thank you very much. It really helped out to resolving this issue I had...
Thanks so much for this video! I was locked out of using stuff on my PC period. Sound wasn't working, Windows key wasn't responding, couldn't open file explorer and because my PC was tricked into thinking I wasn't an admin, I couldn't reset my PC . But thanks to you showing off the command to enable built in admin I was able to do so and restore my pc
You’re very welcome! I’m really glad to hear that it worked for you.
Holy shit dude. Thank you so much! You literally saved all my local files and everything. Was so close to just fabric reset my pc. Worked on Win11 Pro. I was locked out of my own pc when i disabled admin account without doing my user local account to admin first🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️Thank you again!!! I guess i have learned from my laughable mistake
Many thanks. You saved my a lot of work rebuilding a PC! I did have a late version of Windows 10 Pro and I was still able to do it without any hitches.
That’s awesome, I’m really glad to hear that!
Hey i just wanted to say rhat i spent 2 days looking for something to work and ur video was the only one that has. God bless you, i love tou man keep up the work
Sir I am giving 1000 of thanks to you....because I am straggling last 2weeks for this problem but there is no solution....finally got the solution from your end. Thank you Thank you very much.....
That's great to hear, and thank you! I'm very glad I was able to help you with this!
Thank you a very much. It was a very helpful. I've searched the decision a lot but couldn't find anything like this. It is working on the latest Windows 10. Thanx)))
That's awesome! I know this is hit or miss with the newer Windows 10 builds, but I'm very glad to hear that it worked for you! Thanks so much for leaving a comment!
U saved my ass on windows 10 home, what i did was, I followed your instructions up until your instructions talk about restoring the account. I only have windows 10 HOME. so what i did was once i was in the administer account i pressed shift+restart, selected system restore, restored to 3 days prior to my screw up deleting a user account, my computer restarted and restored successfully. and my user was restored with everything back to normal!!!
That’s great! I’m glad to hear that, and thank you for leaving a comment here as well! Have a great day!
Thank you Rob: A quick comment for Windows Home (per your comment - I was helping a friend) the Snap-In pswd change doesn't work ... The error prompt says to use the Control Panel, which does work! This was the 4th TH-cam technique I was attempting & this worked!
Hey Robery Mayer - your vid saved me of skipping a reformat; worked like a charm in ver 1903. thumbs up!
That's great to hear! Thanks for your comment!
Perfect and simple..... Just followed the instructions and it worked wonderfully
That's awesome, glad to hear that!
Awesome video bro,
Thank you so much!
Robert Mayer yeah, I was trying to add an account in settings but somehow I changed my local account to Microsoft and ended up changing my password to something unknown. But that process and syntax was a life saver, lucky me I had a bootable usb from side jobs and had everything I needed right in front of me. Lol
This works on the latest version of Windows 10 builds. Cheers brother.
Oh really... that’s good to know! Thanks for leaving a comment, I appreciate it!
How did you open command prompt without windows asking for your password??
@@willemmichielssen2527 originally I couldn't open command prompt so had to do it through windows 10 disk to activate the command prompt on login screen. When that was done it never asked for the password when opening the command prompt on login screen.. Then i added the code to activate admin. Cheers again.
Thank you very much mah dude. Love from brazil!
You’re very welcome, and thank you so much for your comment! Much appreciated!

Dear Rob, thankyou so much for your video and help. I am slowly getting used to windows 10, but I find it very different from 98 or xp!
You have solved my problem and I appreciate it. :)

Awesome!! You’re very welcome!
I just used this, and it worked great! Thanks, Robert! [Windows 10]
I am very glad to hear that, and you’re very welcome!
I tried to do a reset on my computer which has Windows 10 and it's been giving me the "User failed to sign in" error so now I can't even sign in to Windows. I followed everything in this tutorial, but I still don't see an option anywhere in the screen to login to the Administrator account. It only shows my original one (which gives me that error) yet on CMD it says it is active. Please help :(
This help me a lot, thanks for sharing!!!
You're welcome
@@RMTechCentral Delivery and the rest are you doing this with my family is a great time with
Thank you! I just used this and it worked perfectly.
I’m glad to hear that; you are very welcome!
As of may 2021 and in the latest Windows 10 update release 20H2 it works perfectly (my config is Windows 10 Pro ) Great hack ! Many thanks !!!
Do not listen to Robet's comment, it still works with windows 10 1905 as both the installed os version and the setup one, i've just done that a few hours ago and had to do e: instead of d: or c: in the cmd part of the setup
Extremely helpful! I had tried to activate the admin account from the cmd prompt inside the repair tool, but that never actually did anything. This one worked to unlock the local admin account that I had actually created during installation! This was on Win10 Pro, on a domain-joined PC. I booted to the USB drive I had created using the Media Creation Tool, and it worked great!
CatatonicBug Thanks for your comment! Yeah, a lot of people try to do it from the repair tool, and the reason that doesn’t work is because none of the files that Windows needs to make account changes to are loaded at that point. So when you replace utilman.exe with cmd.exe what you have is the option to open the command prompt window with Windows fully booted up, which runs with system privileges, and then you can basically make any system changes you would like. Anyway, thanks again for leaving a comment and I’m glad to hear that this worked for you!
@RMTechCentral help pls I locked my laptop using Microsoft ac now I can't enable it

I accidentally lock out my desktop on my Microsoft account.
Of course, there's no unlock button on MS account page. When I try to access my pc, it says an administrator needs to log in first. Any ideas? Im the only user, how is this happening? MS is horrible.
After this i am stuck at administration lock screen and its asking for a password,
What should i do?
saved my butt with this video and the other one you posted about msDART
Glad to hear this was a help. Thanks for the comment!
Nice! thank you

How do I put the file on the thumb drive if I’m locked out of my pc?
thank you so much Rob....
You are very welcome! Thanks for the comment!
good stuff!
Yay it worked!
Thanks sir !
Thanks a lot✌️
You’re welcome!
Mine is doing something totally different. the option to put in a password is not coming up. Like it normally does. When the image and date screen load up. Normally all I have to do is click space bar to get the password fillout to show up. But all it does when I click space bar is reload up the screen. When I click Esc above I see my sign in in the background but it goes away the second I click off of esc ?! And no option for the keyboard on the screen down below either. I've done a chdsk scan. And nothing. Still shows up. Before this problem happened. I was doing a defrag scan which was taking 4 days just to get to 16%. And I opened a folder up which locked the screen. So I shut down. And this new problem started up.
Thank you so much❤
You're very welcome!
Hi I have a question for you I hope that you can help me I've got a windows 10 computer that was given to me and I was in it but I accidently signed out of the other persons account and I don't know the password to get back in how do I get in?
Can anybody help pls :/ It is not working for me when I try to overwrite I press yes but is says access is denied.What can I do ? Thank you
I think the best way to go is this right here - th-cam.com/video/law8u__C7Ho/w-d-xo.html
This video will be 2 years old this April and a lot has changed in Windows 10 since then. The only reason I keep it up here on TH-cam is because it get quite a few views, so it is a more efficient way to direct people to the other video showing a better method, rather than just taking it down entirely and hoping people find the new video on their own, so I did my best to update the description the best I could.
Give that link a try, and let me know if you need help. It is a program that I created to automate everything in this video, and also patch some of the things that no longer work in this video as well. It is free for personal use.
Good luck!
Hi Robert
I deleted administrator account and can't anything else to do Please let me know how to restore and repair Windows 10
*how the hell did you manage to delete the admin account!?*
Hey Rob, thanks for uploading this. Just wondering if you have a video showing how to revert the settings once we've reset the password?
Any response for this?
You're very welcome! I'm going to be honest with you - it's been so long since I made this video that I don't quite remember the exact steps... or should I say the way that I had shown the steps in this video. With that being said, the process should be to rename or copy utilman.exe to utilman.bak first before overwriting it with cmd.exe. Afterwards, you would then copy or rename utilman.bak back to utilman.exe. If you didn't do this, then you could just delete utilman.exe entirely, which of course would totally disable the ease of access center, but stop it from opening up the command prompt. Lastly, if you give me the build number of your Windows 10 install, I could try to get you the correct file.
Thank you so much!
Why won't cmd appear when i type in the navigator button after i've been following your steps process?
I am locked out of Microsoft acc as my school email is cancelled. I did not create a local acc. How do I unlock the screen under Microsoft acc not local acc. Is the last method to reformat the laptop and reinstalled Window 10. I have games inside. I would like to keep it. Pls advise. Thank you ❤
I unfortunately don't have the power option in the log in menu, so is there any other way of doing this?
Hi Robert. You saved my bacon Thanks so much. Just one question how do i get rid of the Administrators part on the account screen?
Please
That’s great! I’m really happy to hear that! If you want to get rid of the Administrator account you can use the same method you used to enable it, except type - net user administrator /active:no
Thanks so much Rob!
Windows 10 Home user here. You got me almost there! Here is the trick for Windows Home users:
1. In the Administrator account start command line as an administrator
2. Enter 'net user
3. Log in as the local account
Thanks again, Rob! hope you can edit that in :o)
Excellent. Thanks for that info! I will definitely be adding this in. I’m glad my video was helpful, and thank you for your comment!
I am staked with unknown domain credentials and I also check that my existing local account is not as administrator so, I am getting so much problem. How to resolve it???
I did it!! Probably wouldn't remember how to do it again to save my life. I didn't lose anything nor did I use a flash drive. I just did the F button and shift then I finally did it right where I got to that screen but I didn't have to type all of that command prompt etc stuff. It was my windows Dell desktop and I've been locked out forever. I would go to Microsoft live on my phone and laptop and change it there but it never worked. Maybe it was a fluke?
Which F button?
What is the f button please tell me.I am despret to know :(
I changed my pw and it's not recognising the new pw.
thanks alot sir.
You’re welcome!
I tried this but couldn’t do it. The cmd prompt said “not enough memory to perform actions” or something of the sort.
i locked my laptop from my desktop in microsoft just to see how it works, but they don't provide an unlock. WTH is wrong with them? so i'm locked out.
This device is lock by an administrator..have any of the administrator sign in and unlock it--- how to unlock this pls help
😭😭😭😭😭Thank you you saved my life
You're very welcome. Glad to hear this was a help!
when I get to Command prompt, it still asks me to choose the administrator name and password

We're locked out of the Login as we use Microsoft and I unfortunately changed my phone number which is the recovery tool. I can't get the code to sign in. We were using a pin but are locked out of that option and don't have our password.
Email me, I might be able to help you out. rmayer0428@gmail.com
