Is it a local machine account or a microsoft account?
If its local machine. No idea.
If its microsoft. Try logging into any microsoft service in browser and click "forgot my password"
There's, like, 6 different ways to do it, depending on what you've done with the system.
Zeroeth question (already been asked): local account or Microsoft account?
First question: is this your personal account, or the system Administrator account?
Second question: do you have any other admin accounts?
Third question: have you put a password on the actual system Adminstrator account (and/or do you remember it)?
One simple way is to use Safe Mode - a little harder to get to than before, but still possible - and reset the password using the built-in Admin account.

Look up the instructions for booting Win8 into Safe Mode, log in using the local Admin account, and use the "Local Users and Groups" management console to reset the password.
Alternatively, use the recovery tools (present either on the Windows install disk or possibly in the recovery partition) to launch a "recovery console" command prompt. It requires that you are able to log into at least one account on the machine, though; the local Admin may or may not work. If it does, you'll get a command prompt; follow the instructions here: http://www.ehow.com/how_8089008_reset-windows-password-cmd.html
Assuming you haven't set up BitLocker, you could also boot off a Linux Live-CD/Flashdrive image, and use that to access and modify the Windows partition.
I'm not going to get too detailed on this but there is a very useful program I've been using for years, so long as its not a domain account it will work, please note, if you use EFS and change the password on that locked account you will screw it all up, the key is made from your password , gaining access to an account without the password will not give you access to EFS so don't piss about with the password or consider it all gone!
Kon-boot
Google it
Pay for it
Learn it
Use it with extreme caution, best way is to make a new admin user then log in to that to make system changes, EFS will still get screwed tho if you change that users password!!

Hi,
someone hacked my gmail account and changed the password + the recovery email. so i cannot change my password from my desktop. my mt3g was automatically updated with the password and it wants the new password.... is there any way i can change my password from my mt3g.....
PLEASE - i need help cause my credit card number is on there.
if I was you I would try to work with google to regain access to your gmail account. I would also call the credit card company and put a hold on the account until you get this all squared away
Other than that I have no idea how to hack the lost password.
You could boot your phone into recovery and reflash a rom. Then setup a new gmail and password until this all gets squared away.

why would you reflash your rom? Just go into the settings menu and do a factory reset, then itll run you through the gmail sign in prompt

LOL yeah
Sometimes the thread starter would be better off without some noob suggesting a stupid solution!
Anyway's i dont think the one who started this thread is so stupid he doesnt know he can make a new google account, and also sure its far from the answer he's looking for.
Dont know the mt3g but none of the rom's i tryed had the posibility to change the password as far as i noticed. And anyway if any of them had this feature you should expect that it would prompt you for the current password before you would be able to change as a security.
Good luck getting your g-account back!

Don't even need to do that. Just go to Application Management, choose Google Apps and delete the data and the cache. Then launch gmail, and it will ask you to set up an account.
You keep all your other data this way.
I just got a new my toch slide unable to login too many pattern attempst phone is asking for email adress to login and password. Can some one help
All you need is to re-enter your Gmail email and password.
If you says your gmail username/password is wrong, a master reset needs to be done.
Esp if you verify it works on a computer.
Yeah you probably will have to do a reset. Don't forget that login info!
you can try this
Try this:
It was all about this "Two-Step Verification" security of google!
I tried everything... and I mean EVERYTHING (except flashing my XooM), but at the edge of giving up, I signed into my google account and issued an "Application Specific Password" for Xoom from my Google account.
I used my [email protected] with that Application Specific Password and it worked. (do not enter spaces in the password)
Let me know if it worked

i have asked this before and noone seems to know. but where does the windows mobile file explorer store cached user names and passwords for windows file sharing. i have run into a problem recently where i changed the password on my shares. one would think that a windows mobile device would say Oops i cant connect so ill ask for new login information. but for some reason my phone refuses to ask for credentials and just gives an access denied error. how can i manually wipe all the cached credentials so that i force the app to ask for the new login
I used the Kindle Fire Utility to install Android Marketplace.
Works like a charm - thanks.
I entered the wrong Google account e-mail when I signed into the Google marketplace for the first time.
There don;t seem to be a way to add a second account or delete the one I logged in. I don;t see a way to log out?
Any way to install multiple accounts? Log out of the account I am in so I can log into another account?
Thanks in advance.
Did you try deleting accounts.db from " /data/system/"?
I cannot even find that.
I browsed the drive - even did a search and no .db files
Thanks
Do you have adb setup?
if so, do
Code:
adb remount
adb shell rm /data/system/accounts.db
If not, you will need something like Root explorer. ES File explorer (free on the market) could likely do it to, but takes a bit more setup to put it in root mode.
Note: Not sure what you mean by searched the drive. The file is not on your SD card.
Kind of a noob still, but I got you now.
I took another route, Restored to default.
RE-rooted - reinstalled marketplace.
Used right email.
Working.
But are we stuck with only one account on Kindle? Do I have to do what I did to use another account or use the account.db Erase method?
If so that quite sucks.
No you can add more accounts. But I am not on a stock based rom, so I can not provide specific details. I know you will need to open "Account & Sync" settings. There is not a shortcut to do it on a stock based rom.
I know you can download a app from the market to help you do this, Quick Sync Settings, I think?
I will check it out then, thanks!
DUDE!!! totally worked. I was able to ad more account then when I go to the account setting in market place it allows me to pick which one I want.
YOU ROCK!!!
Awesome. Glad I could help.
Hi,
Somehow I managed to forget my screenlock pattern (changed before lockdown) on my Samsung j7pro j730GM and it does not show any recovery through google password or similar. I need some help to recover access to my phone (preferably without factory reset).
This is the current situation of my phone:
- NOT Phone Rooted, all default
- Currently logged in with my google account on the phone, but can't access it over the google account (i kind of disabled history and other features in my google acc).
- Also "Unknown Sources" should be enabled on my phone.
If there is any way to recover the password via ADB, or to unlock the Data, that would be just awesome...
Thanks for any help.
Should try using Samsung Account, it can override the screen lock, of course after a two-factors authentication...
I just did it yesterday for a securuty test, works like a charm.

Thank you Saponetto, I will give it a try today. Is samsung account a software or i need to register to website you mean?
Ciao Saponetto. Il Samsung account, sul sito della samsung vuoi dire? devo registrarmi?
Yes, this is the simplest way to gain access to your locked phone... Create a simple account at https://account.samsung.com, then access to "Find My Mobile" page.
There you will be able to reset Password or PIN.
Fast and easy.
