Just got my nephew an HP Windows 8.1 laptop and either he can't remember the password that he just created or something is messed up. Is there a way to reset the password or do a hard reset if you can't even get logged in? Thanks.

- You want an offline registry editor.
- Because of the existence of the above, stick to simple passwords you won't forget. Anything more than the name of your cat is just being fancy and silly.
- If he is encrypting, beware. Remember the password.

An offlien registry editor? Is that something that I download, burn onto a disk and reboot the laptop with the disk inserted.
