[JaunARG]

Hi, my friend forgot his windows password. I try whit Passcape, but it give me wrong pass becuse i got the demo version and it seems it wont help if u dont pay de 60 dolars it cost. So im looking for others free solutions beside format the disk and intaling widows again (which would be a pain in the a##, becouse im not good at doing that and i dont have money to take it to some technician). Sorry for my English, it must be painfull to read me.

Try Hiren's BootCD. Works on any Windows OS from XP and up (and possibly earlier versions as well, can't remember)

I wrote a topic on how to fix this using the tool VikingGaming just mentioned: How You can Reset Your Windows Login Password with Hiren's BootCD

I used Parted Magic on a USB Drive to bypass Windows Passwords and it works perfectly each time.

 

Here is a link that details how to download and mount Parted Magic onto a USB Drive. Once you've done so, you'll have to re-arrange your boot priority so that it boots from the USB.

Removing Windows passwords is located under the 'Rescue' sub-section. If you struggle, google how to remove Windows passwords with Parted Magic and it'll give you a step-by-step run through of how to do so.

I was gonna link it as well, but I was unsure of the rules on this forum regarding this. Also, if the method provided by Windows7ge does not work, try using the "Offline NT/2000/XP/Vista/7 Password Changer" option instead. Works with 8 and 10 as well.
