What Is the Most Common Administrator Password?

I found an old laptop in the closet and tried to power it up, but there's a password required on the sign-in screen. I'm not sure whose laptop this is, and I don't know its password. What is the most common administrator password? Can you list some for me so that I can try? Thanks!

Most common administrator passwords usually are very simple, such as:

  • 12345
  • 123456
  • 123
  • password
  • admin123
  • 123456789

Some may use their birthday date or a string of numbers that's meaningful to the owner. If you still can't unlock the laptop after trying these, you can resort to a password removal tool - EaseUS Partition Master Professional.

After installing it on your PC, follow the steps here:

Step 1. Connect a USB drive with a valid computer and open EaseUS Partition Master.

Step 2. Go to "Toolkit" > "Password Reset" and then create a bootable media with your USB drive.

Step 3. After that, insert the bootable USB drive into the locked PC and change the boot drive to USB.

Step 4. Then, launch EaseUS Partition Master after entering the desktop and go to "Password Reset."

Step 5. Apply "Reset & Unlock" for the locked account, and the password will be removed.
