作为计算机或计算机网络的管理员很重要。当每个人将自己锁定在计算机之外或需要将新软件添加到他们的帐户中时，您就是每个人都会去找的人。
但是，如果您自己被锁在门外，该怎么办？虽然有点尴尬，但它可能发生在任何人身上。每个人都在某个时候把钥匙放错了地方，这让回到你的车里或家里，真的很痛苦。
你通常做的就是请专业人士来处理这种事情。只要您愿意为服务付费，他们就可以让您重新回到您已将自己拒之门外的任何事物中。
当涉及到让自己被锁定在您的管理员帐户之外时，同样的解决方案是可能的。但是，还有一种方法可以消除让其他人参与进来的需要——以及成本——而只需自己做，而是通过重置密码来完成。
如何重置您的计算机密码(How To Reset Your Computer Password)
“入侵”您的管理员帐户的关键是以对您存储在计算机上的文件和数据几乎没有损害的方式进行操作。该过程也应该尽可能无痛，并且不会引起太多头痛。
我很遗憾地说，在这个世界上没有什么是绝对的保证，在处理计算机数据时尤其如此。每当您尝试暴力恢复时，总是有丢失的可能性。话虽如此，我们已向您提供了有关如何重置已锁定的管理员密码的说明，并尽可能减少复杂性。
请记住，这是为忘记密码或因输入错误密码而被锁定的管理员帐户恢复。如果您的计算机正面临病毒或已被外部实体入侵，则不能使用这些技术。
Windows XP+、MacOS X Snow Leopard、Leopard和Tiger以及MacOS X Lion及更高版本的重新进入方法。
Windows（10、8.1、7、Vista 和 XP）(Windows (10, 8.1, 7, Vista, & XP))
过去，我们专门针对Windows 7 和 8.1(Windows 7 and 8.1)讨论过类似的主题。通过这种新方法，我们将看到免费的实用程序，如Trinity Rescue Kit (TRK) 或MediaCat USB。
我们将在本教程中专注于TRK，因为它是重置管理员密码的最佳实用程序之一。不过，如果您碰巧使用的是Linux而不是Windows，MediaCat USB可以提供帮助。
TRK 不仅可以帮助您恢复计算机的管理员密码。它还可以帮助恢复文件、撤出故障或即将死去的磁盘，并可以扫描 rootkit 恶意软件，以及您可能需要的任何其他灾难恢复任务。
- 您需要将TRK加载到CD/DVD或USB驱动器，因为它需要在Windows加载之前运行。导航(Navigate)到官方网站并下载程序。
- 下载后，将其刻录到CD/DVD或将其移至USB驱动器。如果您的 CD 刻录机中当前有一张空白 CD，TRK将检测到这一点并询问您是否要继续将程序刻录到 CD。
- 在加载TRK之前，请确保您进入计算机的BIOS（或UEFI）并将其设置为从USB/CD/DVD启动。不这样做会导致计算机正常启动并绕过TRK实用程序。
- 进入BIOS通常需要在计算机重新启动时按住F12 之类的键。(F12)您需要参考主板或计算机随附的手册来确定您的设置方式。
- 如果你有 Windows 10，你使用UEFI的机会相当大。一些Windows 8机器也是UEFI，您需要在继续之前确定您的计算机是否这样做。
- 要进入UEFI，请在重启期间按住正确的热键，类似于BIOS。还有其他方法，但它们需要您登录到Windows。鉴于本文的全部目的是您无法访问Windows，此时其他方法将无济于事。
- 启动程序后，您将看到TRK 3.4启动屏幕。选择Run Trinity Rescue Kit 3.4（默认模式，带文本菜单）(Run Trinity Rescue Kit 3.4 (default mode, with text menu))并按Enter。
- 从简单菜单中，向下箭头到Windows 密码重置(Windows password resetting )，然后按Enter。
- 再次向下箭头(Arrow)，直到您突出显示Reset password on built-in Administrator，然后再次按Enter。
- 找到Windows NT/2K/XP部分。在下方，记下Windows(Windows )文件夹旁边的数字。在提示中输入该数字，然后按Enter。
- 在User Edit Menu(User Edit Menu)下输入1，然后按Enter。这将删除为管理员(Administrator)设置的密码。您可以按任意键继续。
- 同样，使用箭头键突出显示Main Menu，然后按Enter。
- 最后一次，使用箭头键突出显示Poweroff computer，然后按Enter。您现在可以弹出您的CD/DVD或USB，以便启动可以恢复正常。
- 允许 Windows(Allow Windows)启动，然后登录管理员(Administrator)帐户，同时将密码(Password)部分留空。
适用于 Mac OS X 10.4 – 10.6（Tiger、Leopard 和 Snow Leopard）(For Mac OS X 10.4 – 10.6 (Tiger, Leopard, and Snow Leopard))
为旧版本的Mac OS X(Mac OS X)重置密码的方法比Windows操作系统简单一些——只要您仍然拥有计算机或OS X升级随附的OS X DVD 。
- 插入(Insert)磁盘并重新启动计算机。
- 在重新启动阶段按住Option键，直到(Option )启动管理器(Startup Manager)出现在屏幕上。
- 双击安装 Mac OS X(Install Mac OS X)图标开始安装程序。
- 加载后，选择Utilities并单击Restart。安装程序将重新加载。
- 安装程序加载后，再次选择实用程序(Utilities)，仅这次单击重置密码(Reset Password)。
- 按照屏幕上的说明重置管理员密码。
For Mac OS X 10.7+ (Lion and Above)
较新的 Mac OS X(Newer Mac OS X)或MacOS甚至比过去的版本更容易。不再需要磁盘，因为操作系统中的所有内容都可以重置您的密码。
- 重新启动计算机并在重新启动开始后按住⌘ + R键。您必须继续按住按键，直到Apple标志出现在屏幕上。
- 启动序列完成后，您应该会在屏幕上显示Recovery HD实用程序窗口。
- 在实用程序中打开终端窗口，然后键入resetpassword，然后按Enter。
How to Reset Your Computer Password If You Lock Yourself Out
Beіng the administrator of a computer or computer network is important. You’re the perѕon whom everyone goeѕ to when they lock themsеlves out of their comрuter or need a new piece of software added to their accounts.
But what can you do if you get locked out yourself? Although a little embarrassing, it can happen to anyone. Everyone has misplaced their keys at some point or another making getting back into your car or home, a real pain.
What you’d normally do is call a professional to handle this sort of thing. They can get you back into whatever you’ve locked yourself out of, as long as you’re willing to pay for the service.
When it comes to getting yourself locked out of your admin account, the same resolution is possible. However, there is also a way to do away with the need for involving someone else – and the cost – and simply do it yourself instead by resetting your password.
How To Reset Your Computer Password
The key to “hacking” your way back into your admin account is doing it in a way that causes little to no harm to your files and data stored on the computer. The process should also be as painless as possible and not cause too much of a headache.
I’m sorry to say that nothing is an absolute guarantee in this world and that is especially true when dealing with computer data. There is always a possibility of loss whenever you attempt to brute-force a restoration. That being said, we’ve provided you with instructions on what you can do to reset an administrator password that has been locked out with the least amount of complications possible.
Remember that this is for administrator account restoration for forgetting your password, or being locked out from an incorrect password input. These are not techniques to be used if your computer is facing a virus or has been hacked by an outside entity.
We’ll cover the re-entry methods for Windows XP+, MacOS X Snow Leopard, Leopard, and Tiger, as well as MacOS X Lion and beyond.
Windows (10, 8.1, 7, Vista, & XP)
In the past, we’ve touched on a similar subject specifically for Windows 7 and 8.1. With this new method, we’ll be looking at free utilities like Trinity Rescue Kit (TRK) or MediaCat USB.
We’ll be focused on TRK for this tutorial as it is one of the best utilities out there to reset your admin password. Though if you happen to be dealing with Linux instead of Windows, MediaCat USB can help with that.
TRK can help you recover more than just the administrator password for your computer. It also provides help in the recovery of files, evacuating a faulty or dying disk, and can scan for rootkit malware, as well as any other disaster recovery tasks you might need.
- You’ll need to load TRK to either a CD/DVD or USB drive as it will need to run prior to Windows loading. Navigate to the official site and download the program.
- Once downloaded, either burn it to CD/DVD or move it over to the USB drive. If you currently have a blank CD in your CD burner, TRK will detect this and ask if you’d like to proceed with burning the program to a CD.
- Prior to loading TRK, ensure that you head into your computer’s BIOS (or UEFI) and have it set to boot from USB/CD/DVD. Not doing so will cause the computer to boot as normal and bypass the TRK utility.
- Getting into your BIOS will usually require holding down a key like F12 while your computer is restarting. You’ll need to refer to the manual that came with the motherboard or computer to determine how yours is set up.
- The chances are rather good that if you have Windows 10, you’re using UEFI. Some Windows 8 machines are also UEFI, and you’ll need to determine if your computer does before proceeding.
- To get into UEFI, hold down the correct hotkey during restart, similar to BIOS. There are other methods, but they will require that you are logged into Windows. Seeing as the whole purpose of this article is you not having access to Windows, those other methods won’t help at this time.
- Once you’ve booted up the program, you’ll be presented with the TRK 3.4 splash screen. Select Run Trinity Rescue Kit 3.4 (default mode, with text menu) and press Enter.
- From the simple menu, arrow down to Windows password resetting and press Enter.
- Arrow down again until you highlight Reset password on built-in Administrator, and press Enter again.
- Locate the section Windows NT/2K/XP. Underneath, make a note of the number found next to the Windows folder. Enter that number into the prompt and press Enter.
- Enter 1 under the User Edit Menu, and press Enter. This will remove the password set for Administrator. You can press any key to continue.
- Again, use the arrow keys to highlight Main Menu, and press Enter.
- For the final time, use the arrow keys to highlight Poweroff computer, and press Enter. You can now eject your CD/DVD or USB so that the boot can return to normal.
- Allow Windows to boot up, then log into the Administrator account while leaving the Password portion blank.
For Mac OS X 10.4 – 10.6 (Tiger, Leopard, and Snow Leopard)
The methods to reset your password for older versions of Mac OS X are a bit simpler than that of the Windows operating system – as long as you still have the OS X DVD that came with the computer or OS X upgrade.
- Insert the disk and restart the computer.
- Hold down the Option key during the restart phase until the Startup Manager appears on-screen.
- Double-click the Install Mac OS X icon to begin the installer.
- Once loaded, select Utilities and click Restart. The installer will reload.
- When the installer loads, select Utilities again, only this time click Reset Password.
- Follow the on-screen instructions to reset the admin password.
For Mac OS X 10.7+ (Lion and Above)
Newer Mac OS X, or MacOS, is even easier than past versions. No more need for a disk as everything is right there in the operating system to reset your password.
- Restart the computer and hold down the ⌘ + R keys once the restart begins. You’ll have to continue holding down the keys until the Apple logo appears on-screen.
- After the startup sequence is completed, you should have the Recovery HD utility window on-screen.
- Open a terminal window while in the utility, and type resetpassword, then press Enter.
- Follow the on-screen instructions to reset the admin password.
