Find Lost Windows Password

If your Windows 10, 8.1 or 7 password is lost, forgotten, you have two ways to re-enter the Windows desktop:

• Resetting the current password;
• Retrieving the original password.

 

Comparing the two methods, resetting the password is the most efficient and stable method. You can reset the Windows password within a few minutes. But if you have important files encrypted by NTFS, you cannot unlock these encrypted files after resetting the password.

Retrieving the original password is a time-consuming operation. The time required may be several hours, days, or even longer, depending on the complexity of the password. In some cases, when you have to find the original Windows password, you can use the following steps. Lazesoft Recovery Suite Professional Edition has a "Find" feature that allows you to find your original password.
