    Hello, i need help! My sister changed my Windows 8 password on my pc! She typed it in for me but she forgot the password. So does anybody here know a good free password recovery tool or a way to change the password with command prompt?
    Thanks!

    If you have forgotten your password, if you have another user account with administrative privileges you can log into that account and change your original user account's password from the User Accounts applet in Control Panel. If you don't have another account like this set up or don't have the password to it, you'll need to log into the built-in Administrator account and reset Windows 8.

    In windows 8 Home, boot the computer into Safe Mode. Do this by repeatedly tapping the F8 key as the computer is starting up. This will get you to the right menu. Navigate using your Up arrow key; the mouse will not work here. Once in Safe Mode, you will see the normally hidden Administrator account. The default password is a blank.
