"My computer hasn’t been locked yet, but I need to reset admin password. Anyone can help me?"
I usually see the similar problem, in order to help these people, i will share my experience in resetting admin windows password. There are two methods to reset admin password
Method 1: Execute the following operations: right click "My Computer" ->then double click "Manage ->Local Users and Groups ->Users". Then all your computer login users including the built-in super administrator account, administrator account and standard account will be displayed. So you can just choose your administrator account, and set a new password for it without typing a new password.
Method 2: Make a Windows password reset disk to realize administrator password reset.
A. Start -> Control Panel -> User Accounts -> Select the user that needed to set a disk.
B. Choose "Prevent a forgotten password" on the left of Related Tasks.
C. Prepare a blank floppy disk and then do the following operation as the Forgotten Password Wizard.
D. When the progress indicator displays 100% complete, click "Next" and then Finish.
E. Remove the floppy disk from PC and keep it.
F. Insert the disk to your computer. When the window jumps to a login screen, then quickly reset password to a new one.
(Note: Since you make such a reset disk, if you forget your administrator password in the future or you change it again, this disk can still help you reset the password.)
