qemu/KVM have no ability to change passwords inside VMs.

Try some standard Windows password reset tools/how to's. (Google helps for sure, or some windows forum)
Proxmox can't help you here.

you need to be a bit more specific and keep all your posting to the subject.

as the topic of this thread is "recover windows vm password", you should not ask network questions.

I agree with you, as far as i know, iSeepassword focus on the windows password recovery,maybe you can find solution there.

UUkeys is a powerful Windows password recovery tool you can use. It can make a bootable disk with USB or DVD. Then you can use the disk to reset forgotten Windows password.

Just use ntpasswd: http://www.ntpasswd.com/ , download iso, boot VM from it, change password or add another admin account.

Use your physical machine to download the ISO file of PCUnlocker, then mount the ISO file to your virtual CD drive, change the boot order and you can then reset Windows 2008 password offline. Of course, you can also use other softwares like Ophcrack.

Use your physical machine to download the ISO file of PCUnlocker, then mount the ISO file to your virtual CD drive, change the boot order and you can then reset Windows 8 password offline. Of course, you can also use other softwares like Ophcrack.

When I used Ophcrack to reset my windows 10 password, it always keeps saying "not table found", what was I missing?

I also used UUKeys windows password mate to reset my win 8, it works fine.

The password can not be removed from Windows computer ,you can only create a new password to replace it or bypass it,see more : https://www.mobiledic.com/windows-topic/bypass-windows-password.html
