windows server 2016 default administrator password

“Does Windows server 2016 have the default administrator password?? I lost the login password for my company’s HPE ProLiant ML10. I have to find back the administrator password, or I have to reinstall the system and all software. Need help!!!”

Many people forgot the administrator password to Windows server 2016 and asked for the default administrator password. Unluckily, there isn’t a default administrator password for Windows server 2008, 2012 and 2016, because the password of administrator account must be set when installation or the first time usage.

Although there isn’t a default password for the Windows server 2016, we can reset the forgotten password by password reset software or tools. Through learning, I find the following ways work effectively on resetting the lost password for Windows 2016 and other Windows systems.

1. Reset the lost password by the setup disk

By this way, you need a USB flash drive and a workable Windows computer. For the step by step guide, see Reset Windows server 2016 password with setup disk.

2. Reset the lost password by iSunshare password recovery software

With iSunshare password software, you can easily create a USB password reset disk on the Windows pc, Mac computer or rooted android phone and recover the lost password for Windows server 2016/2012/2008/2003/10/7/vista/XP. You can learn more from https://www.isunshare.com/windows-password-genius/.

3. Recover the password by Chnt-pw and Op-hcrack

Both Chnt-pw and Op-hcrack are free software. They work fine with XP, 2000 and Vista, but not very well with windows 10/8 and server 2016/2012, so I haven’t used them for a long time. You can get them and have a try.
