How to Reset Admin Password on Dell Computer

How to Reset Admin Password on Dell Computer

Did you spend hours thinking about the perfect password for your brand new Dell laptop before you forgot it? Well, there's no shame in that. Passwords have to be so strong and elaborate these days that you almost expect to forget one.

Do not be afraid. Although it may be difficult, it is entirely possible to regain access to your computer. Windows has a number of vulnerabilities that can be exploited to regain access to your machine if you are smart enough. The purpose of this article is to guide you through the necessary steps. The key is to regain access to the computer without losing any data.

Reset disk to reset the whole machine

Our first method can only be used by those of you who have had the foresight to take a few extra precautions. If you had a password reset disk before you were locked out of your computer, you should be able to reset your machine. You will be able to reset your password as easily as possible.

First, you need to click

"Reset password"

on your computer's login screen. You will see a new setup wizard window appear on your screen. Then simply enter the new password for your user account. After that, you will be able to use your new password to access your computer, while the old password will be erased.

Reset your Microsoft account password

Unfortunately, not everyone has password reset disks needed to perform password reset. If you're one of those people (and you probably are if you're still reading), you use a Microsoft account as your user profile. In this case, you should be able to reset your forgotten password from your Microsoft account. This will automatically reset your computer password if you are using Windows 10. Here is how to do it in detail.

Remark:

this only works if you are not using a local or administrator account. If you skip this step and go to the next one.

First, you need to go to

https://account.live.com/password/reset< /p>

, then press the button

"I forgot my password"

.

Next, you will be asked to enter the email address and phone number associated with your Microsoft account.

Select a method for which you want to get the security code and press

"Following"

. You can use the phone number or email to get the code.

Enter the security code you received in the step above and proceed to the next page.

Enter a new password for your Microsoft account.

This will also be your new Windows password. Use it to enter your user account.

Use a Password Reset Tool to Change Your Dell Computer Password

Since not everyone has a Microsoft account as their default account type, some users will need to try something else. In such scenario, Tunesbro Windows Password Recovery is your best friend. It is a very simple and streamlined tool that is friendly for new users as well as a robust and reliable application that can remove forgotten password from your Dell laptop completely. Basically, you use it if the first two methods don't work for you.

Even better, Tunesbro Windows Password Recovery Tool can be used to change login passwords in any version of modern Windows including Windows 10, 8, XP, 7 and Vista. Another good thing about this app is that it doesn't need an active internet connection to do its magic (other than downloading it, of course) to change the password. The whole process is quick and painless. This should take a few minutes at most. It works on all major brands Dell, HP, Acer, Lenovo, Sony, Samsung, etc. and on any Windows computer.

First, you need to download the app. However, the trick here is to install it on another computer that you can access because obviously you can't do it on the locked computer.

Create a password recovery disk with a USB flash drive or DVD/CD (we'll use USB in this guide).

Insert an empty USB drive into another working computer.

Then run the tool and select

"USB Device"

and choose the name of the USB key you are using.

Press

"Begin Burning"

to save the ISO image file being burned to your USB drive. When the burning is complete, remove the drive.

Insert the USB drive into your locked Dell computer.

For the next step, you need to set USB as the primary boot order in BIOS. You can change the boot sequence in the BIOS by repeatedly pressing a specific key, which varies by machine (for Dell this is

"F2"

) then you will enter the BIOS. Locate your USB drive and move it to the first place using the

"+"

and

"-"

keys.

After that, you have everything you need to reset your password. All you have to do now is insert the USB drive (or CD/DVD if you're using a disc instead) into your locked Dell computer and turn it on.

The Tunesbro Password Recovery Tool will appear on your screen and all you have to do is select the version of Windows you are using and select the locked user profile.

Once you have chosen the correct version of Windows, simply click on

" Reset password"

and watch Tunesbro do its job.

Once the tool is finished, restart your computer and the password should disappear.
