Steps to Reset Windows 10 Password Using Ubuntu:

Insert a Live USB (Kali or Ubuntu) and boot your system to access the root shell.

1. Identify the Windows Partition  
   Use the following command to list the available partitions:

   Create a mount point and mount the partition:
   $ sudo mkdir /mnt/windows
   $ sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/windows

3. Backup and Replace Utility Files  
   Navigate to the `System32` directory where the utility files are located:
   $ cd /mnt/windows/Windows/System32

   Backup the `utilman.exe` file:
   $ sudo cp utilman.exe utilman.exe.bak

   Replace `sethc.exe` with `cmd.exe`:
   $ sudo cp cmd.exe sethc.exe

4. Unmount the Windows Partition 
   After making the changes, unmount the partition:
   $ sudo umount /mnt/windows

5. Reboot the System  
   Reboot the system into Windows:
   $ sudo reboot

6. Reset the Windows Password  
   Once the system has rebooted and you are on the login screen, press the `Shift` key five times to open a command prompt window. In the command prompt, run the following command to reset the password for the user account (replace `demo` with the username and `123456` with the new password):
