Strong, unique password protects our account in most times, but things get tricky once you forgot your Windows password. How can we retrieve it and open our PC again? In this article, we would concentrate on how to recover forgotten password in Windows 10 on Dell Inspiron/XPS/Alienware/Chromebook/Deals. As we know that most Dell laptop are designed with no optical drive to make it more portable. So to get back your forgotten password with password reset disk does not work. Considering this, I sort out two methods for you on Windows 10/8.1/8/7 Password Recovery on Dell Laptop.
Method1. Recover Windows 10 Forgotten Password on Dell Laptop with Built-in Administrator
If you have enabled the built-in admin account on your laptop, then to reset your passphrase with a default built-in administrator can be a good idea.
Step1. You can see the user account named Administrator on your sign-in screen (on the lower left corner). Select it and tap Sign in to login Windows 10.
Step2. Then it is to change the lost password with Command Prompt. After you access Windows 10, go to settings>> Account >> Other users to view the account you have created. Then press Win + X, choose Command Prompt (Admin), and click Yes to start the Command Prompt. Type command net user rachel abc and press Enter.
The Command Prompt would response with message "The command completed successfully" instantly, which means the user account "rachel" has replaced the password as "abc". The next time you sign in Windows with rachel and new password is workable.
(Note that the default built-in administrator is disabled by default and cannot be seen unless you turn it on when the laptop is still accessible. Type the command net user administrator /active:yes to enable it)
Method2. Crack Windows 10 Lost Password on Dell Laptop with Windows Password Recovery Tool
