I forgot my admin password i have it so etched in muscle memory that when i realize what i am writing i forget it OMG and i cannot find it anywhere.

I tried restart by holding shift to safe mode and command prompt:

net user "admin username" 12345

but it throw access denied 5

Also bash net user administrator /active:yes didn't work, but without bash it ran successfuly!

after restart in safe mode/normal mode hidden admin account is not visible

I have also encrypted disk and have to write each time bitlocked code

I didn't create passphrase to reset, i thought i had it noted somewhere foodle!

Could you please help me to recover it, this method worked last time i don't know how to recover it aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Is the password for Microsoft or local user account, and you don't use bash as a command because its not Windows 11 command.

You can always download Kali Linux ISO and use Rufus to create a bootable USB flash drive.

In this video, i will show you a simple method of resetting a forgotten Windows 10 or Windows 11 local user account password, without the need for any third-party tools.

access denied to open Computer Management? so you dont have Admin perms on your account? reboot from windows PE and use command prompt at system level. safe mode wont make a difference if your account doesnt have admin perms

Hmm with disabled drive encryption C:\Windows\System32\net user i don't see my account :/

that replaces ease of access with cmd on the logon screen.... which runs cmd as system. you couldve just done the commands from the PE screen you were at when you replaced utilman with cmd... as mentioned hours ago
