What should your do when you forgot the password to login to windows system? Ask an administrator to reset the log on password for you. If you yourself are administrator, and you can’t remember the administrator password, the problem get a little tricky

You Will Need

  • 1 blank CD
  • 1 Computer linked to Internet

Step 1

Download a reliable third part utility (here, take Windows Password Recovery Tool 3.0 example) and save it to your hard disk. Take note of what folder you saved the file in

Step 2

Burn the downloaded ISO file onto a CD. * To burn your CD, you’ll need a blank CD-R . * If you are familiar with burning .iso image files you may use any software you already have such as Nero, Sonic, Roxio etc. If you need burning software we provide one of the best solutions on the market called BurnCDCC:http://www.windowspasswordsrecovery.com/downloads/BurnCDCC.exe.Put in your newly created CD and remove your Windows password.

Step 3

Insert newly created CD in your CD drive and reboot your computer. When the CD boots, you’ll see Windows Password Recovery Tool 3.0 initializing (see screen shot below). If so, you can continue to the next step. If the computer still boots into Windows, it’s necessary to change BIOS boot sequence to make it boot from the CD

Step 4

Select the user account you want to reset

Step 5

Click the ‘Reset’ button to process.

Click ‘Yes’ to confirm your action. Or, click ‘No’ to undo your selection.

There are many password reset tools, but I haven't personally tested them. Windows Password Recovery Basic is a widely spread edition though... Once reboot the computer with CD/DVD/USB, remove the lost or forgotten password and then log in to your computer without any password. Here is its official website, Hope it helps http://www.windowspasswordrecovery.net/

I have downloaded Windows Password Recovery Tool 2.0. it not only supports XP, 2000, and NT, I have personally tested it with Vista Home Premium and Ultimate. It works perfectly to reset any local user account to a blank password. I Wrote it to an old 128mb USB flash drive do this. Booting up and clearing a password takes a minute or two works like a charm. You can get it from: http://www.windowspasswordsrecovery.com
