How can we remove or reset Windows passwords in Windows 8, without logging in to windows first?
In Windows 7, I used Hirens but it is not working for Windows 8.
I am talking about local user account password not Microsoft online accounts like @hotmail.com
or domain accounts those can be reset.
The scenario is a computer running Windows 8 with a local only user and the client forgot the password to the only active account. Is there a way to remove or reset that password?
It seems you will have to wait for a tool like Hirens to be updated. of course its my understanding its already been updated. The process should be exactly the same. Are we talking about
Windows 8 Professional
orWindows 8

Try ntoffline. A crafty little utility you can use to reset any account password on the system as well as enable the local admin account – Scandalist – 2013-08-25T02:01:59.310
