Apologies for my retardation but I dont know what else to do.
So I got a new laptop with Windows 10 preinstalled which I've been using. I just created a Microsoft account to download an app but just button bashed all the info like name and password. Now when I try to log on to my laptop it is asking for the password which I button bashed so don't know. Also the recovery options are out the window as I made up all the details so I'm locked out of my laptop. Is there any way around this or am I looking at a clean OS install?
I know how to reset the password without wiping the data, but I won't tell you. Learn how to Google.

Tried that but all I can see involves keeping my files but still reinstalling windows

Really? I found an article a few months ago that did not involve reinstalling Windows.

Search for something like "how to restore windows passwords using usb" the method is you put a certain version of Linux on a USB dongle and boot from it. It should reset all windows passwords when you are done.

The term is "button mashed", just so you know.

So you stole a laptop and want us to tell you how to hack into it? Just wipe the fucking thing and install a better operating system.
anyone else find it impressive that someone could button mash the same characters twice in a row when confirming a password?
what are the odds?
boot linux live cd
go into system32
mov utilman.exe utilman.exe.old
cp cmd.exe utilman.exe
start windows somewhere there should be a button now that starts cmd.exe
I had the same problem when trying to disable that xbox game dvr, though I used keepass to generated the random password, thankfully I had another account I could log in and open keepass and write down the password.

F8 is your friend famalam, if you don't know how then buy a fucking chromebook
same thing happened to me, I am sorry to hear about your loss, and even more sorry to see the ignorant replies in this thread by users who dont realise how fucked over they are to get by the terrible UI experience the second they decide to install an app

That shit still works lol? Gj Microsoft.
Use kali samdump2/jack the ripper and extract passwords from hashes. Just Google it and you'll find few videos on that.
