In window10, the Ease of Access button is on the bottom right corner of the login screen. Through the boot media, you can replace the Ease of Access applications with cmd.exe to open an elevated command prompt without logging in. There is much Ease of access app you can select as per your choice. But here we will show by using two utilities(on-screen keyboard and utility icon).

Click next

In the lower-left corner of windows setup, click on “Repair your computer”.

Now, choose to troubleshoot as an option, to see the advanced options

Click on Advanced options

Crack window10 password via WinGeeker Tool

This method is the most user-friendly approach to hacking a Windows 10 password. It’s highly effective and doesn’t require any expertise to use. The simple three-step process will ensure that any Windows user or admin account is immediately accessible. The most reliable aspect of this utility, called TunesBro WinGeeker, is that it does not touch your data in any way.

 Download TunesBro WinGeeker to a different PC then use the built-in ISO burning utility to burn the ISO file and create a boot disk or boot drive. This is your password reset disk.

 When the disk or drive is ready, remove it and insert it into the locked PC. You will now need to go into the BIOS menu and change the boot priority so the system boots from your password reset disk instead of the Windows installation files that are on your hard drive.

 Once you see the TunesBro WinGeeker interface, you need to select the right Windows version and the user account that is locked. Click on ‘Reset Password’ to hack and blank the Windows 10 password. Now click on ‘Reboot’ and the job is done.
