How to Recover Your Windows Password

Posted on August 25th, 2009 by Urbain


Did you know that according to PC Magazine, the most common username and password is:

  • Username:  Password
  • Password:  123456

If your Windows password isn’t quite that simple and you forgot what it is, there’s good news:  You can recover it.  As shown in the video below, one of the easiest ways to get in is to log in as Administrator and leave the password blank.  There are easy and advanced steps, depending on your system setup.  You might need your operating system CD and/or a USB drive to proceed.

The video may take a few seconds to load, but is well worth the wait…especially if you’re borrowing someone’s computer, quietly sitting in a panic and wondering how you can access your own PC!

    Great tip! I wasn’t aware this was even possible. Fortunately, I haven’t had to go down this road. Hopefully I never will.
