Forgot your password for signing in to Windows 8 on your Microsoft Surface tablet? There are lots of Windows password recovery bootdisks which could be used to reset Windows 8 password, but they would be unable to boot up your Surface Pro. That is because Microsoft Surface Pro only supports UEFI native boot. Luckily, PCUnlocker can create a 64-bit UEFI capable USB drive which can be used to remove your lost Microsoft Surface Pro password easily! It works even if you’ve turned on the UEFI Secure Boot option.

How to Remove Microsoft Surface Pro Password with A Bootable USB Drive?

First you need to make a UEFI bootable USB drive. Download the zipped ISO image of PCUnlocker Enterprise on an alternate PC you have access to.

Click on Browse button to select the ISO image file of PCUnlocker, then choose your USB drive and select GPT from the partition style drop-down box. Click on Burn. The program will format your USB drive with a GPT partition table and copy the contents of the ISO image to the partition.

After creating a bootable USB drive, you can use it to boot up your Microsoft Surface Pro tablet. No need to disable the Secure Boot option. Just hold down the volume-down (-) button as you press the Power button. Once you see the Surface logo, release volume button and now it will boot from your USB drive.

The computer will load the 64-bit UEFI capable operating system inside the USB drive. After a while, you’ll see the PCUnlocker program open up, which shows you a list of user accounts existing on your Microsoft Surface Pro.

Select a user account and then click on Reset Password button. It will remove/reset your lost Windows password and also unlock/enable your user account in no time. Unplug the USB drive and restart the Surface Pro, you can then log back into Windows without a password!
