Resetting Windows Password
Resetting Windows Password
Tested on: NT 3.51, NT 4 (all versions and SPs), Windows 2000 (all
versions & SPs), Windows XP (all versions, also SP2 and SP3),
Windows Server 2003 (all SPs), Windows Vista 32 and 64 bit (SP1 also),
Window 7 (all variants). Some also say that it works on Windows Server
2008 too.
If used on users that have EFS encrypted files, and the system is XP
or Vista, all encrypted files for that user will be UNREADABLE! and
cannot be recovered unless you remember the old password again. If you
don’t know if you have encrypted files or not, you most likely don’t
have them (except maybe on corporate systems).
Boot your computer with Hiren’s BootCD and follow the steps below for resetting your password:
1. Enter “Offline NT/2000/XP/Vista/7 Password Changer”
With Up & Down keys select Offline ‘NT/2000/XP/Vista/7 Password Changer’ and press Enter.
