How to Use Tenorshare Windows Password Reset Ultimate — Step‑by‑Step Tutorial
What you need
- A separate working PC (Windows or Mac) and a USB flash drive or blank DVD (≥4 GB).
- The locked Windows PC and physical access to it.
- Tenorshare Windows Password Reset Ultimate installer (downloaded on the working PC).
Steps
-
Download & install
- On the working PC, download Tenorshare Windows Password Reset Ultimate from Tenorshare’s official site and install it.
-
Create a bootable reset disk
- Insert your USB drive (or DVD).
- Open the Tenorshare app and choose the USB or CD/DVD option.
- Click Burn to create a bootable password-reset disk. Wait until burning finishes, then safely eject.
-
Boot the locked PC from the disk
- Insert the bootable USB/DVD into the locked PC.
- Power on and enter the boot menu/BIOS (common keys: F2, F12, Esc, Del).
- Select the USB/DVD as the first boot device and boot from it.
-
Select the target Windows installation
- After booting, the Tenorshare interface lists detected Windows installations and user accounts.
- Select the target Windows version and the user account whose password you want to reset.
-
Reset or remove the password
- Choose one action: Remove Password, Reset Password, or Create New Admin (options vary by version).
- Confirm and click Reset or Remove. The tool will perform the operation and report success.
-
Reboot and sign in
- Remove the USB/DVD and restart the PC.
- Sign in to the account: if the password was removed you should be able to log in with a blank password; if reset, use the new password you set.
-
Post‑reset checks
- Verify files and settings are intact.
- Recreate or update passwords and enable account recovery options (Microsoft account, password reset disk) to avoid future lockouts.
Notes & cautions
- Legal & ethical: Only use on machines you own or are authorized to access.
- Data risk: The tool typically preserves user data, but back up important files beforehand if possible.
- Compatibility: Works with many Windows versions (Windows 7/8/10/11); check Tenorshare’s site for exact compatibility and latest instructions.
- If using Microsoft account: Resetting a local password won’t change a Microsoft account password — sign in online to reset a Microsoft account password if required.
