so, what is other ways you know/suggest?

Is there a reason you need to recover your password rather than reset?

ie. Do you have folders/files that are OS encrypted?

No, both are fine for me. Only one drive was encrypted with bitlocker. however, it is not the system drive. I already got this fixed. the burning process failed last time and that is why I am asking for new suggestion.

Thanks

I seem to remember reading that they changed the login mechanism, (when using a password), so that it operates in a secure environment inaccessible to the user thus the normal methods, (Ophcrack, John the Ripper, etc), wouldn't work and that you could really only reset passwords under Windows 10.

Note, this is my understanding/interpretation, quite possibly wrong, based on a half remembered article read over a year ago.

f0dder would definitely know.

In the meantime, this might be what I'm thinking of: Windows 10: Virtualization-based security

Appreciated for the input. Yes, you are correct. MS changed the policy in windows 10. Users can login with MS account.
