My bad forgot his login password of Windows 10 computer at home. I did a bit research in Google and found out there are a lot of people recommending Offline NT Password and Registry Editor.

I followed the steps and made a bootable disk. I managed to reset the password via command line but when I reboot the computer, it still asks me for password. What is the problem in here? Any free alternative better than it for beginners? thanks

Thanks, this one was a little more difficult, but this should do, for now.

Code:
takeown /f "%WINDIR%\System32\utilman.exe" /a
icacls "%WINDIR%\System32\utilman.exe" /remove "Administrators" "Authenticated Users" "Users" "System"
takeown /f "%WINDIR%\SysWOW64\utilman.exe" /a
icacls "%WINDIR%\SysWOW64\utilman.exe" /remove "Administrators" "Authenticated Users" "Users" "System"
