Password reset

[hpsait]

Please advise how to get into Windows 8 if I have forgotten my password. Windows 8 came pre-installed and I have no recovery discs.

I'm trying to sort this out for a friend. Not sure if Admin or not.

FYI - Posting requests for password resets is frowned up on at TT. (as per your thread title, and this will draw attention to yourself, and get your thread removed)

However - a useful set of tools to have in your Admin toolbox is Hiren's Boot CD ( and also search for Hirens Boot CD Restored)

Should work for Windows 8
