I cannot express how happy I am, I genuinely thought I would have to format my entire PC, and since I didn't do backup in a while, I was afraid I'd lose a lot of my stuff. I hope you get millions of subscribers someday, dude. Thanks.
Wow, it actually worked! I came home from a long family trip and was ready to play some games when I realized I had forgotten my password. Thanks a lot. Saved me a lot of headache.
This is an AWESOME step by step, easy to understand instructional video. This is how EVERY "How To" video should be made. There was no extraneous fluff. The instructor stayed on point the entire video, Thank you so very much!
Absolute lifesaver! Wasted 2 hours watching other videos and trying all sorts of stuff that didn't work, getting increasingly stressed, desperate and frustrated. Then I stumbled on this excellent video - clear instruction, easy to follow, and most importantly of all, WORKED!!! I can't thank you enough 👏👏👏
I am so thankful for this video! I had bene logged out of my account since the oast 2 days, i watched more than 20 videos but they all showed nonesense, but now after watching this i have successfully reseted my password and logged on, im so thankful man thank you so much if i hadnt found you i couldve lost my job
Had to use this method for a client today that was scammed and locked out of the computer. Someone claiming to be from Xfinity took remote control of the client's computer and ended up locking them out. The method described in the video worked to perfection. It saved my client a lot of anxiety after not being able to access their computer. Thanks.
I am having the same issues as well, my girlfriend's laptop can't be accessed because of me trying to get access to her laptop I used the microsoft remote desktop and I have her permission, the reason for doing it is because we have a project on our school which I need a windows to do something since she is far from my home and it was not successful on syncing but the time that the laptop got to sleep and opened it, she immediately panicked since it needs a usb to get into the system. As of now she is eating right now and hope this method will work.
little brother used this vid to enter my pc secretly, my cmd was not working all this time and i was about to format my system being sad. But just found out he just left the vid in the middle and didnt reverse it. thank god... arghh anooying lil broda!!!
This doesn’t work anymore, at least on my version of windows, it asks for a password before going in to the command prompt at 1:18. That being said this is literally an exploit so I’m not surprised they patched it
Thank you!!! Your concise, detailed, and extremely well presented directions on how to resolve the locked out of my pc password issues without a “password backup disc” proved to be a lifesaver for me today. Not only was I able to once again access my desktop but as a bonus I was able to eliminate that bothersome “password and/or PIN” process which is not needed in my situation and I ow go straight to my desktop on powering up or restarting my PC. Thank you again. Simply outstanding!
I followed every single tutorial available. Yours where the only one that fixed the problem. You saved me spending money I don't have to save my laptop. Instant follow and million thanks
Spent the past 3 hrs struggling with this. Figured it out in 9 minutes after watching your video. You're my hero! Thanks Soo much for this. Would have done this 3 hours ago if I knew it was this simple.
I started following the tutorial without watching the whole video. Had a bit of a panic attack around the middle of the process on the umpteenth rewind, and then it all worked as stated. Thank you very much.
DUDE!!!! I am soo happy I found your video! You don’t know the lengths I’ve gone to and how many times this has happened to me! From all my experience watching videos fake and real. This was by FAR the easiest AND real one I’ve seen! 10 out of 10 my man! Thanks again!!
Thanks, Brian. I didn’t need this but I remembered it. A lady friend called because she thinks someone changed her password and I pointed her here. She just called to say it was easy and it worked fine. So you saved her and you saved me half an hour on the phone walking her through the process.
Great video as usual. After seeing this video, I'm glad I'm retired. I used to think it was hard for someone to mess with my PC at work. I remember a few guys being fired over the years for having stuff on their PC. Now I'm convinced that any pc in an office environment is pretty much open season! (Maybe it always was but I didn't realize it.)
does this work in Windows 10 as well ? my experience was that the system forced me to know my local admin password before it would let me get at the command prompt ....
My friends asked me to do something with laptop and forgotten pass on it, I thought to reboot it but in RUclips search I saw you, they fortunately don't have Microsoft account. I reseted password and tomorrow give laptop back. Thanks! ^D^
Thank you!! I agree with all the comments below. You saved me with an on-point, easy to follow set of instructions. From now on, I'm heading to your channel as soon as I have an issue!
Thanks alot dude! In recovery mode, I had no advanced options or reset pc options. Just startup options... Thanks God I had a windows 11 installation DVD layin' around. I inserted the Disc and booted into it, got access to file explorer under install driver option and renamed the files manually. And it worked like a charm!
omg thank you so much. it doesn't work when i hold shift and restart so i just shut down and turn on the pc while holding f8 key. then i just follow your instructions and it works 😭 so grateful thank youuu
Brian! you been reading my little book of tricks, well it's blue but anyway, I can see this trick getting abused by the 'younger' family members, accessing the family PC 😂👍🏻
Can you confirm the Britec account had a password at the start of the video? I can't reproduce this on my PC. Windows asks for the password to start the first command prompt.
Thank you so much !!!!! it works!!! and yes,this is a real comment,not a bot.i was so scared thinking i have to reset everything and risking losing my data but this tutorial really works!!😭 🙏
Thank you very much for the very clear step-by-step instructions. I've been stressing for a whole week not knowing how I was going to access my laptop without a password and you just saved me! Thank you so much!
I tried many options watching other youtube videos but they were all showing to reset the pc but your video came as a magic and it worked for me. Thank you so much 💜
wanna tell u one thing thank u veryy much !!!!! this was my gaming pc i wasnt able to open for 2 years because i forgot the pass word i went searching thousands of videos until i found this video u really deserve a million subs
Thanks so much Sir! You are a lifesaver! After many hours going through other videos on this subject and getting nowhere your video was so easy to understand and follow your directions. I was back into my laptop and reset my password in under 10 minutes. Thanks Again!
This is amazing… in my several years of online help for any software related… all will say stories…this video is awesome and appropriate, to reset the forget password, win 11. Thank you. 🎉
Very well video I did the same and I recovered my password thanks for such amazing videos I like it and am subscribing you ❤❤❤ wish you best of luck for the future
I usually don't comment on videos. But oh man, I just bought a laptop today and set a password which I forgot ( I basically was putting the wrong combination, ik it's dumb but anyway) and freaked myself out because I've already gone through a hell lot mess today and this one really stressed me out. Thanks for the video. Absolutely a lifesaver!
Nah this man is an tech hacker or just was born with the talent considering that no videos of his are fake . Love ypu man u helped me a Lot. I was in a trip and when i came back i forgot the password but thanks to you u helped not reset it ❤ support from me bro
Thank you SO much!….i was in such a panic…did a bios update and the pin was removed….totally blanked out on my password and thought I was locked out….you sir, are a legend
super useful, I thought my local account was done for when I tried to switch the microsoft user of it and forgot the windows password. words alone are not enough to show my appreciation. though for curiosity sake, why is "control userpasswords2" only works properly in the lockscreen? I wanted to check if it works when already logged in and it doesn't
This video fixed my problem. Thank you! I'm using a WinPE to enter the Windows directory to rename the files. The WinPE that I'm using is Sergei Strelec.
God bless you. You have no idea how much you have helped me. I had tried various methods by watching other videos, etc., and they were either too confusing or did not work. Thank you so much. 🌹
the actual resetting password didnt save me but the process did since i cant access accounts in windows, but here i could delete and change a user to admin!! THANKS alot man!!
just a note, you renamed cmd to utilman, but you never made a backup of cmd? not sure if windows would automatically restore cmd, but there is a danger here if you screw up the process somehow that you screw up your cmd.
How this video helps, Drop us a LIKE 👍
are you also the one in coinskid channel?
Access to cmd requires a password. Is it possible to bypass it as well?
Thanks Sir! 🙂
@@HumptyHampi yes it does now. Good question my friend. Personally im gonna try a Linux USB boot to rename the files in question. Fingers crossed.
Thank uhh so much sir⚡💝

Yeah, pretty silly security flaw from Windows.
I tried that on my cousin too. His expression was just priceless 😂
Hello, my cmd says the system cannot find the file specified after I input ren utilman.exe utilman1.exe
May I know what should I do
Same how did you solve this issue?
If you solved please tell me
Yes there is no such file in system32 I'm using windows 11 & I'm unable to unlock Lenovo laptop using fingerprint scanner instead it's asking for pin
Any news how u solved it?
did you try ren utilman1.exe utilman.exe?
if this works it means that utilman name was changed before.
Life saver, i thought i lost my windows just now, but it worked flawlessly thanks a lot
Can you confirm the Britec account had a password at the start of the video?
I can't reproduce this on my PC. Windows asks for the password to start the first command prompt.
Yes, you see the password at the beginning with me trying to login
The same here, Windows asks for the administrator password. Whithout the administrator password it is not possible to open tthe command prompt.
bruh when I do the shift and restart it gives me blue screen and restarts
Same here
