Hi there, I have a couple of older computers, but I have already forgotten my admin passwords to most of them. I've been told you can reset those using Linux USB sticks. Now, I have got those down and ready, but I'm completely clueless as to how I find/change the Windows password. I'm a total n00b, so not well versed with terminal.
Do no terminate me pls.
How do I find out / reset my Windows admin password thru the USB live session?
