I need to change the admin password on my Windows 8.1 computer. I want to avoid using USB drives or performing a full reset. This should help me install apps without needing extra permissions. Thanks! Edited August 31, 2017 – Cap lock removed from the title.

Check this method for resetting forgotten Windows passwords. It functions on both Windows 8.1 and 10.

Check your system details by opening Command Prompt and entering "systeminfo." Review the output for any clues about permissions or admin rights.

Enable the pre-installed admin account and utilize it to access your PC. After logging in, switch your primary user role to administrator.
