Solved Forgot admin password

I forgot my builtin admin password and somehow my user is a standard user, i cannot do anything.
Is there any way to reset admin password or to change it?
I have tried some programs but no success, cannot do system restore also, everything needs administraitive rights :shock:

Any help?

I'm using Windows 8.1, retail version

Without Admin right, you need to do what shown in this post.

All I need is a Windows 8 disk

No disk, tried to make a bootable USB disk, downloaded this(Create installation media for Windows 8.1 - Windows Help), but i have a retail version and cannot install it -.-

Any thing that you can Boot to Windows PE is fine, download this ISO: Macrium WinPE .iso - OneDrive and use Rufus - Create bootable USB drives the easy way Boot from this USB, ignore the Backup/Restore screen. On the bottom left, there is a Command Prompt icon, click on that should open it then follow the next step.

Thank you, I'll give it a try and see how it goes

Thanks, all good now. I downloaded Windows 8.1 Pro disk and used it to access cmd to change administrators password (followed that tutorial: http://www.eightforums.com/user-acc...nt-win-8-1-update-how-restore.html#post389686 )

OK. Thanks for reporting back
