Locked out of old PC
Hi,
Some years ago (maybe 3), I built a new rig and kept my old computer only to have it as storage.
Time flew and a move later, I cannot figure out the password anymore.
- I am pretty sure that it is a local account, not a Microsoft account.
- I don't have a password reset disk to solve the issue
- From what I understood, my case would require to enable the built-in admin account, but I am not sure I to proceed.
- Whatever option described in the different tutorials that I tried,
Reset PC (as I just want to recover the files stored thereCommand PromptI always end-up to a screen asking me for the account password. For example, restarting in Command Prompt:Boot in Safe mode
I guess that I am missing a part and would greatly appreciate if someone could support and point me to the right tutorial.
Thank in advance!
Regards
