So I think it is the reason that you cannot reset user password with command while without administrative privileges.<\/p>\n<p>This error reminds us we should open programs with the right way, especially on new Windows operational system. Otherwise, even though you don\u2019t make a mistake, you could not let the program do right for you. For example, command prompt reset windows password with net user command only when it is run with administrator.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related Articles:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.isunshare.com\/windows-10-password\/how-to-bypass-windows-10-password-after-lost.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">How to Bypass Windows 10 Password after Lost or Not<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.isunshare.com\/windows-10-password\/how-to-unlock-windows-10-admin-password.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">How to Unlock Windows 10 Admin Password on PC\/Laptop\/Tablet<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.isunshare.com\/windows-10-password\/reset-windows-10-local-admin-password-using-command-prompt.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Reset Windows 10 Local Admin Password Using Command Prompt<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.isunshare.com\/windows-10-password\/create-new-administrator-without-windows-10-login.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">How to Create New Administrator in Windows 10 When Cannot Sign in<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While you press Win + R to open Run box, type cmd and click OK to run Command&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":126267,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[156],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2951","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-windows-10"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.isunshare.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2951","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.isunshare.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.isunshare.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.isunshare.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.isunshare.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2951"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.isunshare.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2951\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6394,"href":"https:\/\/www.isunshare.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2951\/revisions\/6394"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.isunshare.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/126267"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.isunshare.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2951"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.isunshare.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2951"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.isunshare.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2951"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
