Removed from domain and now can't log in

Question

Wednesday, February 6, 2019 8:51 PM

I removed a tower from a domain and when asked to log in with original admin password I don't have it. The password is lost and I can't get into safe mode or even command prompt without the password. Any ideas?

Hi,

Please refer to the information in the link below.

Removed pc from domain, local admin password doesn't work

https://community.spiceworks.com/topic/23753-removed-pc-from-domain-local-admin-password-doesn-t-work

As far as I know, boot from a live CD and reset the local administrator password. Then reboot and log in as admin and rename the PC.

What can I do if I forgot my Windows password?
