VIDEO: How to reset your password in Windows 8

In this video Benjamin demonstrates a possible way to reset your Windows 8 password within Windows using the command prompt.

Note: In this example, this approach works because you have access to the affected PC when it auto-logged you in. This method requires access to one administrator account on the affected PC. Unfortunately, if you have forgotten your password and can NOT get logged in, then this approach will not work for you.
