If you've forgotten your Windows 11 password or PIN, there are a few ways you can reset it. Here are 5 methods to reset forgotten Windows 11 password / PIN for Administrator or Microsoft Account:

1. Use Kon-Boot

Kon-Boot is one of the best solutions to reset forgotten Windows passwords. It's a piece of software that allows you to bypass the password login screen and access your account without having to enter your password.

Once you've downloaded and installed Kon-Boot, simply boot up your computer from the Kon-Boot CD or USB drive and follow the prompts. Kon-Boot will automatically bypass the password login screen and log you into your account.

2. Use a Password Reset Disk

If you've created a password reset disk in the past, you can use it to reset your forgotten password. To create a password reset disk, you'll need a blank USB drive and a working computer with your password set up.

Once you have a blank USB drive, insert it into your computer and open the Control Panel. In the Control Panel, click on "User Accounts" and then "Create a Password Reset Disk".

Follow the prompts to create your password reset disk. Once you've created the disk, you can use it to reset your forgotten password by booting up your computer and following the prompts.

If you're comfortable using the Command Prompt, you can use it to reset your forgotten password. To do this, you'll need to boot up your computer from a Windows installation disc or USB drive.

Once you've booted up from the installation disc or USB drive, select "Repair your computer" from the menu. In the "Choose an option" screen, select "Command Prompt".

In the Command Prompt, type the following command and press Enter:

Replace with your username and with your new password. Once you've entered the command, you'll be able to log into your account with your new password.

4. Use a Third-Party Password Reset Tool
