Forgetting an account password on logon screen of computer is a common occurrence regardless of which platform you're running. If you've accidentally lost the admin password on ASUS laptop & desktop PC with Windows 8/ 8.1 system, there are ways to reset the password and gain access to your ASUS Windows again. Here's how to get started.
Microsoft provides two types of account - Microsoft Account and Local Account for users to log into a Windows 8/ 8.1. If you're using an email address of Windows Live ID as user name to log into your ASUS computer, it's a Microsoft Account. In that case, resetting the password on ASUS with Windows 8/ 8.1 can be relatively quick and easy. You just follow online account recovery page.
If you instead are using a Local Account as you did in earlier Windows 7, the first thing you should always do is see if you have a pre-made Windows 8 password reset disk placed somewhere in your room. You can use it to reset the forgotten password instantly and regain access to the ASUS computer without any data loss. See this.
However, in a worst case scenario, what if you don't have a reset disk ready nor resort to installing the system?
