How to Reset Windows 8 Password If I Forgot the Admin Password

I forgot my laptop password Windows 8, please help!

I have a laptop installed Windows 8 Pro x64bit, last day, my son changed my administrator account password and now he cannot remember it. How can I reset Windows 8 admin password without knowing it? This account is the only one admin and a password reset disk was not created....

I don't want to re-install the system or lose my encrypted files. Is there an easy way for Windows 8 password reset?

If you've forgotten your Windows password, there are several ways to retrieve or reset it:

  • If your PC is on a domain, your system administrator must reset your password.

  • If you're using a Microsoft account, you can reset your password online. For more info, go to the Microsoft account sign-in webpage.

  • Have someone with an administrator account on the PC sign in and change your password for you. (If you have an administrator account and remember the administrator password, you can do this yourself.)

  • If you're using a local account, use your password hint as a reminder.
