Session Password set as a 1 spacebar

Hi D3fman. Welcome to the TenForums @D3fman

First I would just try hitting enter, no spaces.

Next I assume this is a local account and there is no other admin account. (When you get this solved I would create another admin account so you "Have a second set of keys".)

Before proceeding are you using any disc encryption / bitlocker? These processes very well will cause loss of data.

You could use option 4 in this tutorial to enable the built in Administrator account. From there you could reset your password to your local admin account.

I also came across this process. I've seen similar threads on the Internet but I have not followed this process myself ​so it may be better to use tutorial. It looks straight forward enough. If used you need to reset the utilman.exe that it has you overwrite.

The process assumes that when you boot from media your Windows drive letter, on your HDD or SSD, becomes d:.

You can confirm this before you start the process by entering the command diskpart, when diskpart starts enter list volume, confirm your windows drive letter, then enter exit.
