The first method: enter cmd through the system PE disk to retrieve the password

 3. Select the virtual machine - right click on the single machine - power - enter the firmware when the power is turned on.

4. Enter the BIOS menu ----- move to the Boot menu --- move to the CD-ROM --- press "+" to move the CD to the first item ------

Press F10 to save and exit. (If the restart does not enter the CD, restart the virtual machine again).

 5. Enter the PE system and select Windows Password Management.

6. Enter the program and wait for the scan to complete----select the account----click "Reset/Unlock" in the lower right corner----restart after completion.

(It is recommended to shut down the computer first and adjust the BIOS menu options back to their original settings to avoid errors)

 4. Enter the system disk. (Enter the drive letter to enter. The virtual machine system disk is usually D)

 5. Back up the original program (Utilman.exe), and then copy cmd to overwrite the program Utilman.exe.

copy Utilman.exe Utilman2.exe

copy cmd.exe Utilman2.exe

shutdown -r -t 0
