How to Break Windows Administrator Password from DOS
The administrator user account in Microsoft Windows operating systems is the main root user account that has full access to your computer. You can troubleshoot your system by using administrator account. Sometimes, it happens that you are trying to troubleshoot or changing any specific settings, a pop up window appears to confirm the administrator password to proceed. Moreover, the same password window appears every time you log on to Windows. If you are tired of entering the password again and again, and you want to remove it, you can use Command Prompt utility to disable this feature. The Command Prompt utility uses DOS language to perform all the actions.
