I have Windows 8.1 and I have set a password and pin on my account (administrator). I forgot my password. Logging in only via a pin. I would like to know or change my password. How can I do this without knowing the password?

Run the cmd window with administrator rights and there: net user administrator new password

I do not believe I knew it was possible, but not with one line of code. thanks
