How To Remove a Computer Password on Windows 7, 8, and 10

This article can be extremely useful if you or one of your customers forgets there Windows password.   Removing a password on Windows 10 can be tricky.  Some of the Windows 10 laptops have security built into the motherboard which makes it much tougher to remove the password by CD or USB.

With Windows 7 and 8 it is very simple to remove your password.  I use a program called Spotmau Bootsuite.  All that you have to do is insert the spotmau boot disk and boot to the CD.  Once inside the control panel for Spotmau you can remove passwords from any of the local accounts including Administrator.

The way to get around this problem is to remove the hard drive from the windows 10 computer and hook it up to an older tower of laptop and then it will allow you to run spotmau to remove the passwords.

In my opinion the spotmau works much better and is much more reliable than the PCunlocker.  The only times spotmau has failed me is when I can’t find the disk or when its scratched.
