You lost the password for Windows RT 8.1? Here are some options to recover it.
Hey everyone. I made a big error a few weeks back. I upgraded my Surface RT to Windows 8.1 RT (was it Windows RT.1?). I had to create a live account and gave up any chance of using this tablet for personal tasks—it's now family-owned with the family computer. You'd think I'd set security questions and personal details while creating the account, but I didn't. It happened around 5 AM after nearly 48 hours awake and I wasn't thinking clearly. I lost my password, used a recovery email that might not exist, and entered an old landline number as the recovery phone. So... can I reset the tablet without logging in? I know this sounds suspicious, but it's tied to my name on the device. If it's that big of a problem, I guess I could post it for verification but prefer not to. Thanks.

It looks uncertain. If you intend to use this, make sure to save all your crucial files on an external hard drive or USB using the Live CD version of Ubuntu to retrieve them.
Password reset disk functions only with local accounts, not live ones.
