How to Reset Lost or Forgotten Windows Login Password?

1. Since you obviously can’t access your computer right now because you don’t know the password, you need to use a secondary computer to create a password cracking Live CD. Download the Reset Windows Password utility and save it onto that computer.
2. Once downloaded, extract the ISO file from the ZIP file. Feel free to do this using the integrated tool in Windows or a dedicated program like WinZip.
3. Burn the ISO file to a blank CD or DVD using your favorite CD/DVD burning program. If you don’t have one, you can use BurnCDCC or ISO2Disc program. If the ISO file is not burned correctly, the password cracking Live CD will not work at all.
4. After the password cracking Live CD is created, go to the computer that you are resetting the password on. Insert the Live CD into your optical drive and then restart your computer. Make sure that you have configured your BIOS to boot from CD before your hard drive. Otherwise, the CD won’t get boot up.
5. The booting process will take a while. Once it’s done loading up, you should see the Reset Windows Password program, which will display all of the Windows user accounts that it has found on your computer.
6. Choose the user account with a lost or forgotten password, and then click on Reset Password button. The program will unlock/enable that user account and clear/blank its password immediately.
7. Remove the password cracking Live CD from your optical drive and restart the computer. You’ll finally get to log into Windows without entering a password!
