Good method to change the Windows 8 password. I forgot my Windows 8 password last week. And I don’t know the easy way like the article says. So I use the Anmosoft Windows Password Reset Professional to change my PC. It is also helpful. www.resetwindowspassword.com/reset-windows-8-password.html can help you.

@Vipendra You can Right click on "My Computer" go to "Manage" In that select "Local Users and Groups"> "Users" , there right click on the user account you want to change the password and click "Set Password". It won't ask you for the previous password. You need to be in "Admin" group to do this operation. Hope this helps.. Or you can use tools in "Hiren's Boot CD"(http://www.hiren.info/pages/bootcd) which will allow you to reset password from Dos before booting to windows itself
