great video, this was a quick and easy way to bypass a local account password.

I do run Kaspersky on the machine I used to test this (if that may be relevant).

Best guess is that you didn't overwrite the utilman.exe file. That's the most common problem. The icon points to utilman.exe, so if you replace that with cmd.exe, it will open command prompt. Try again and verify that it asks you to confirm overwriting the file

I thought I addressed it in the end of the video, but maybe not. Jus reverse the original process of renaming. If you backed up utilman.exe to utilman.bak, then you can "copy utilman.bak utilman.exe". Basically you're replacing the utilman.xxx back to its original location. The "new" utilman is actually cmd.exe (command prompt), so we have to put it back to where it was originally

That sometimes happens with typos. Make sure your backslash is \ not /

Also try c:\windows (enter). Then from that prompt, type cd system32. That will definitely take care of your issue. The only time system32 doesn't exist is if Windows isn't working at all :)

@@AskYourComputerGuy I already tried those and it didn't work but fixed the issue with a different way. I got into system image recovery with that flash boot and accessed system files. Then I renamed cmd to "Utilman" so I can access the prompt command from the login screen. Finally I changed the password with that cmd and logged in. For the people who was in the same trouble, you can try this.

Make sure you are in the c:\windows\system32 folder. That is where it is located. You can also do a search on c (type CD.. twice to go back to root of C). To search, type "dir util*.* /s ...that will show you the location of the file if it has been moved for some reason.

Yes, it will. Again, you aren't clearing the Windows login, you are bypassing it to get into the user's profile. Microsoft security is pretty tight. This is the only way to get around it that I have found.

You can bypass it to get in and see the files under that profile, but no way to clear the password. It's attached to Microsoft. However, once you are in and create an admin account, you can absolutely delete the Microsoft account. I've done it hundreds of times.

You'll need to download the Windows installer so can get into a command prompt without password to clear out the password. I made a video on how to download one to USB. You'll need access to a working computer and a clean USB drive. Once you create that and boot to it (or Windows DVD if you have one), then the instructions will work for you and allow you to clear your password and get back into your PC
