Before you begin, ensure that you have the following:
Administrative privileges on your Windows computer
Your current username and password (if you’re changing your own password)
The username of the account you want to change (if you’re changing someone else’s password)
Press the Windows key R to open the Run dialog box.
Type cmd and press Enter.
Right-click on the Command Prompt icon and select Run as administrator.
In the Command Prompt window, type the following command and press Enter:
net user USERNAME PASSWORD
Replace USERNAME with the username of the account you want to change and PASSWORD with the new password you want to set.
If you want to change your own password without typing the current password, use the following command:
net user USERNAME *
This will prompt you to enter the new password twice without displaying the characters on the screen.
If the password change is successful, you’ll see a message indicating that the command was completed successfully.
Log out of your current user account or lock the screen.
Try logging in with the new password you set.
If the login is successful, your password has been changed successfully using CMD.
Use a strong and unique password for each account to enhance security.
Consider using a password manager to store and generate secure passwords.
Change your password regularly, especially if you suspect it may have been compromised.
