Having a dilemna... Trying to reset the admin password on a Windows 10 PC at work so I can remove and re-add to the domain.
So far I am having no luck.
Tried:
Hiren's boot CD - will not even find the Windows partition
chntpw boot CD - same issue
Ubuntu live CD and chntpw - finds and mounts the Windows 10 partition just fine, but says that Windows 10 is in a hibernation state even though it isn't (so it will not remount with r/w access).
I did get chntpw to appear to work 1 time, but it didn't actually do anything.
I have tried booting up Windows and shutting down. Thinking that maybe Windows 10 is using the lame quick-boot .. a.k.a hibernation even though there is no quick-boot option in the BIOS.
HALP!
