HP 14-dq0000 Laptop PC (56Z60AV)

My computer restarted and has an account called New User that's password protected. No matter what I try, I can't seem to bypass this account.

@Shamar2000, Welcome to HP Support Community,

 

Thank you for posting your query; I’m here to help by guiding you through steps to resolve this issue

 

Use Microsoft Account Recovery Options: If you use a Microsoft account to log in, visit the Microsoft password recovery page and follow the instructions to reset your password.

Use Password Reset Disk: If you've created a password reset disk previously, you can use it to reset your password by following these steps:

  • Insert the password reset disk into your laptop.
  • Click on 'Reset password' on the login screen.
  • Follow the instructions provided in the wizard.

Also, you may refer to this guide: HP PCs - Change or reset the computer password in Windows 10 | HP® Support

 

I hope this helps.

Please feel free to reply here if you have any questions or if you need further clarification on any of the steps. 

 

Take care and have a good day.
