So my computer had a no signal black screen for almost 8-9 maybe 13 years finally got the black screen off and turns out my aunt who I let use my pc put a password on my admin account. So I've looked up all the ways to bring up the CMD on lock screen and no matter how I follow the steps perfectly. In system 32 I can not find the sethc and all my files has DII behind them. I see no sethc.exe or anything close to it. I'm so lost and I don't wanna clean my PC because I'll have to redownload my Vista and anything else. That might be vital to my gaming. So any help will be a big help

This will allow you to use CMD when not logged in (lock screen, logon screen, etc.)
- If the PC's BIOS is password protected, crack it using https://bios-pw.org/
- Burn Ubuntu to a CD or USB. You will need administrative rights to burn the ISO to a USB flash drive; you will not for a CD.
- Boot the computer you need to crack (to Ubuntu, not Windows). Select "Try Ubuntu" so it doesn't install when booting
- Open the Ubuntu file manager and navigate to the Windows disk.
- Browse to
C:\Windows\system32 - Rename
cmd.exetocmdreal.exe - Rename
utilman.exetocmd.exe - Rename
cmdreal.exetoutilman.exe - Reboot into Windows.
- Click the Ease of Access menu in the lower-left hand corner of the logon screen
- Type
net user account passwordwhere account is the username of the account you want to reset the password for and password is the new password - You should be in. You can either run
sfc /scannowin CMD to automatically undo the file changes you made or you can boot back into Ubuntu and rename them.
