    so if you forget the user account passsword would you boot a winPE and run syskey.exe or just boot the system, press F10 and type syskey.exe at the prompt? thx

    Just to re-confirm, it remains working now in the final version of Windows 10.

    So for everyone who prefers a win32 style password login dialogue, this is it :).

    syskey.exe & netplwiz.exe FTW!
