How to Change Windows 8/7/Vista/XP Password without Administrator Privileges

If you're like most people, you probably have a computer that you use every day. And if you're like most people, that computer probably has a password that you use to protect it from unauthorized access. But what happens if you forget that password? Or what if you need to change your password for some reason but don't have administrator privileges?

Luckily, there are a few ways that you can change your Windows password without administrator privileges. In this article, we'll show you how to do it using a few different methods.

One of the easiest ways to change your Windows password without administrator privileges is to use a program called Kon-Boot. Kon-Boot is a program that allows you to bypass the password authentication process and login to your computer without entering a password.

Once you've downloaded and installed Kon-Boot, simply restart your computer and boot from the Kon-Boot CD or USB drive. Kon-Boot will then allow you to login to your account without entering a password.

Once you're logged in, you can change your password by going to the Control Panel and selecting "User Accounts". From there, you can change your password without having to enter your old password.

Another way to change your Windows password without administrator privileges is to use a program called Offline NT Password & Registry Editor. This program allows you to reset your password by editing the registry offline.

Once you've downloaded and extracted the Offline NT Password & Registry Editor program, you'll need to burn it to a CD or USB drive. Then, boot from the CD or USB drive and follow the prompts to reset your password.

If you're looking for a more permanent solution, you can also change your Windows password by changing the way that your computer stores passwords. This method requires you to have access to the administrator account, but it doesn't require you to know the current password.

To do this, open the Registry Editor by going to Start and typing "regedit" into the search bar. Then, navigate to the following key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

In the right pane, double-click on the "DefaultPassword" value and enter a new password in the Value data field. Then, click "OK" and close the Registry Editor.

Reboot your computer and you should now be able to login with the new password.

If you're still having trouble changing your password, you can always contact Microsoft support for help.

Changing your Windows password is a pretty simple process, but if you forget your password, it can be a real pain. If you don't have administrator privileges, there are still a few ways that you can change your password.
