Windows 11 Password Reset Assistance

I need step-by-step help resetting the password on my Windows 11 machine without risking any of the important files stored on it. I can already sign in with a second administrator account and have a bootable Windows 11 USB on hand, so you can jump straight to the safest method rather than covering basic prerequisites. The ideal flow is a live remote session (or clear written instructions if you prefer) that: • Uses native Windows 11 tools—Computer Management, [login to view URL], Command Prompt, or PowerShell—to reset or replace the locked account’s credentials. • Verifies that BitLocker, EFS, or other encryption is not blocking the process (or shows me how to handle it if it is). • Confirms post-reset that all user data, apps, and profiles open normally. I’ll call the job complete once I can log back into the original account, see my desktop as-is, and open a handful of key documents without errors. If you have another proven approach that keeps the data intact—such as leveraging the installation media’s recovery environment—feel free to outline it when you respond.
