"I forgot Windows Administrator Password on my laptop, how to reset it without data loss?"
Many users often come to me and raise such questions which annoyed them so much when they need to start their Windows to finish jobs at hand. Worse still, when some users try to get back their Windows 10/8.1/8 passwords by themselves, the approach like reinstalling the system would lead to a complete erasure of hard drive, which is depressing and unpleasant. Considering this, I would like to provide you with some tips on how to reset Windows password without any data loss.
