I need to enable the built-in Administrator account and then reset the password. I am not wedded to it, so my question is not related to them. I can boot off of my USB stick (half the battle), but I do not see the Windows disk (the current problem). Yeah, there is no such thing as CSM anything anywhere in the BIOS boot menu or the UEFI BIOS area, nothing / nada /zilch.

Enable Launch CSM ( CSM: Compatibility Support Module for UEFI firmware).

Disable secure boot (should have added enable legacy boot).

The software works major awesomeness with any BIOS/MBR system (older computers), not so great with UEFI/GPT systems. The app allows you to clear the password for any account and enable any account. You create a USB disk or a CD (I chose USB), and then you boot off of it. I have a license for Renee PassNow Pro, which is an awesome utility.

That is not a problem, but that the built-in Administrator account is disabled is the problem. The problem is that I cannot log into the workstation using any domain user account (trust domain issue). The key is to be able to log into a local administrator account account (not necessarily Administrator, but one with Administrator rights) and then perform the domain to workstation to domain tasks. The solution is to log into the box, remove from the domain, delete the computer from the Active Directory Users and Computers, add back to the domain, and then test the login. I now get a trust issue on the computer, when attempting to log in. History: We had our AD directory box keel over, so we had to replace it. Supported OS: Windows 10, Windows 8.I have an HP Pavilion 570 Desktop PC running Windows 10 with a UEFI BIOS and GPT partition.

One thing that should note right from the start is that the application has been designed mainly for users who already possess some computer knowledge, as it requires the creation of a live CD/DVD or USB drive and booting up the system from it.
