How to Remove Password in Windows 10 without Login
Among the four ways, EaseUS Partition Master is friendly to users with less experience. That's why I put it in the first position. Let's learn how to use this tool.
Way 1. Use EaseUS Partition Master
The best and most efficient way to remove a Windows 10 password without logging in is to use EaseUS Partition Master Professional. It enables you to create a password reset USB on another computer to erase the password of the current computer when it is stuck on the login page (Windows' own tools cannot do this).
- ✔️Create a password reset disk for other computers.
- ✔️Support Windows 11/10/8/7.
- ✔️Unlock a PC without a password.
And it can create a password reset USB with one click, which will greatly improve efficiency. It is very easy to use for beginner users.
Follow the guide to wipe Windows 10 passwords even when you are logged out.
Step 1. Insert the target USB disk into the computer, download and run EaseUS Partition Master, and click "Toolkit" > "Password Reset."
Step 2. A small window will pop up. After reading it carefully, click "Create".
Step 3. Select the correct USB flash drive or external mobile hard disk and click "Create" again. Wait patiently. After the password reset USB flash drive is created, click "Finish."
Step 4. Remove the password reset USB, insert it into the locked PC, and restart. You will be asked to change the boot drive to boot the PC from USB. Once completed, the system will automatically boot from USB.
Step 5. After restarting, find EaseUS Partition Master again and go to "Password Reset." All accounts on the PC will be displayed in the interface; click on the target account and check "Reset & Unlock."
Step 6. When you receive this prompt, click "Confirm" to continue. Your password will be erased.

In addition to allowing you to create a bootable USB on another computer to wipe the password and crack Windows password of the current computer, EaseUS Partition Master can also do the following tasks:

Windows also comes with a tool to create a password reset disk, but it requires you to create it before the computer locks. If your computer is locked, this method will not work. In addition, the password reset disk created with the tools that come with Windows can only be used on the current computer.

Step 1. Plug a USB flash drive into your Windows 10 PC.
Step 2. Type the command: Create Password Reset Disk in the search box on the toolbar, and then select Create Password Reset Disk to pop up the Forgot Password Wizard.
Step 3. In the "Forgot Password" wizard window, select "Next." Select your USB flash drive and select Next.
Step 4. Enter your current password and select Next. When the wizard completes, click Finish.
Step 5. Connect the bootable password reset USB drive to your PC.
Step 6. On the Windows 10 login screen, first, enter the wrong password and then click on the "Reset Password" option to open the password reset wizard.
Step 7. Now, you can set a new password on Windows 10. After entering your new password, click Next. Then, you can log into your Windows 10 computer using your new password.
