Activating your Office 365 using KMS client key

Source from: https://msguides.com/microsoft-software-products/activate-office-365-proplus-free.html

1. Manual method

Time needed: 1 minute.

Manually activate your Office 365 using KMS client key.

Open command prompt as admin.

First, you need to open command prompt with admin rights, then follow the instruction below step by step. Just copy/paste the commands and do not forget to hit Enter in order to execute them.

Navigate to your Office folder.

If you install your Office in the ProgramFiles folder, the path will be “%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Office\Office16” or “%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft Office\Office16”. It depends on the architecture of the Windows OS you are using. If you are not sure of this issue, don’t worry, just run both of the commands above. One of them will be not executed and an error message will be printed on the screen.

cd /d %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Office\Office16
cd /d %ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft Office\Office16

Convert your Office license to volume one if possible.

If your Office is got from Microsoft, this step is required. On the contrary, if you install Office from a Volume ISO file, this is optional so just skip it if you want.

for /f %x in ('dir /b ..\root\Licenses16\proplusvl_kms*.xrm-ms') do cscript ospp.vbs /inslic:"..\root\Licenses16\%x"

Use KMS client key to activate your Office

Make sure your PC is connected to the internet, then run the following command.

cscript ospp.vbs /inpkey:XQNVK-8JYDB-WJ9W3-YJ8YR-WFG99
cscript ospp.vbs /unpkey:BTDRB >nul
cscript ospp.vbs /unpkey:KHGM9 >nul
cscript ospp.vbs /unpkey:CPQVG >nul
cscript ospp.vbs /sethst:kms8.msguides.com

How to reset local administrator password

Step 1. If you have a Windows 10/server 2012/server 2016 installation disc in hand, then let’s continue. But if didn’t have a disc then you need to create a Windows 10 installation disc which can either be USB or CD/DVD first.

Step 2. Use this installation disc to boot your locked Windows 10 computer.

Step 3. Now as soon as the computer boots successfully, press “Shift + F10” to pop up the command prompt dialogue box.

Step 4. Execute the command given below to substitute utility manager with cmd and you must press “Enter” after every command in line.

move c:\of pc\windows\system32\utilman.exe c:\of pc\windows\system32\utilman.exe.bak

copy c:\of pc\windows\system32\cmd.exe c:\of pc\windows\system32\utilman.exe

Step 5. Eject the disk and restart your computer by typing the “wpeutil reboot” in the cmd dialogue box.

Step 6. So now when the computer arrives at the login page, click on the utility manager icon at the bottom right corner of the screen, and the cmd black box would open up instead.

Type the following command

Step 7. Type the following command to create a new admin and hit “Enter” to reset a new password:

net user <username> <password>

Step 8. Restore the utility manager once again with the help of installation disc, and reboot your computer.
