Administrator Password Reset Issue on Windows 11 (Access Denied)

[dani001]

Hello everyone,

I am experiencing a problem with resetting the administrator password on a Windows 11 computer. Here’s the context:

1. I have two accounts on my PC: an administrator account and a guest account. I have forgotten the password for the administrator account.
2. I tried to access Safe Mode using the F8 key during startup, but that doesn’t work.
3. I also attempted several other methods to reset the password (using the net user command, accessing recovery options, etc.), but each time, I receive an "access denied" message.

I’ve heard about the Offline NT Password & Registry Editor, but before diving into advanced solutions, I would like to know if there are any other reliable ways to bypass this issue. Do you have any suggestions for resetting the password without encountering this access denied message?

Thank you in advance for your help!

I probably should not say this, but without absolute proof its YOUR computer, you might not get help. Otherwise, good luck. Have you thought about resetting it to factory settings?

Thanks for your response and for voicing that concern; it’s completely understandable. This is indeed my personal computer, and I’m genuinely in need of a solution. Unfortunately, I don’t have a way to prove ownership here, but I assure you it’s my machine.

As for the factory reset option you mentioned, I haven’t tried it yet. If possible, could you provide some more details on how I would go about that or any steps to consider before doing it? I want to avoid losing any important files, if that’s possible.

Thank you again !
