How Can I See My Computer Password Using CMD?

I don't think Windows allows you to actually see your password. The closest you'd get is retrieving the password hash, but then you'd have to crack it. Honestly, it sounds a bit unrealistic and raises some red flags. Are you trying to do this on someone else's computer to snoop around? That wouldn't be cool!

Unfortunately, you can't view your computer password directly. When you create a password, your system uses a hashing algorithm that only creates a hash of your password, making it impossible to retrieve the actual password. This is for security reasons. Although there are ways to set up reversible encryption for passwords, it's risky and must be set up before the password is created. So, there really isn't a way to display your password, even if you extract the hash. It would require significant processing power to attempt to crack it, and that’s a hefty challenge itself.

Also, just to clarify, the tutorial you found doesn't let you view your password; it just sets a random password for the account. So, it’s not about displaying what you already have.
