Now though, I have done this 3-4 times in the past year. I acquired the laptop and setup a separate admin account with associated password, and promptly forgot the password lol. In other news, I am also about to do a admin pass reset on one of my lap tops tonight. I guess they look at the bios date/time? I guess a way around this is simply setting the clock backwards.Looking at TPB, there seem to be multiple versions. Interesting idea about the Geeksquad disk. If you have utorrent, you can also google, MRI 5.7.2 torrent and find the geeksquad boot cd which has many automated tools. Once the cd loads it should be on the front page, Offline NT Pass Changer. Place in the laptop and hit F12/F8/ESC or sometimes it says press ? to change boot order. OR You can use Hirens BootCD to reset passwords ins 2000/XP/Vista/2003/2008/7įrom another computer download the iso and use a program like isoburner/cdburnerxp to burn the iso. I am open for suggestions-can i use ubuntu to reset windows admin password? any other programs that can sniff my password? like ophcrack something? (it only worked on my win xp though last 4 years ago)įatal_Exception wrote:You can download and burn an iso of Offline NT Pass Changer I cold booted laptop after windows logo the screen is blacked out even in safemode.Ĭurrently I am downloading a fresh copy of win 7 ultimate installer - hoping to fix those two I tried for a day to reset the password using net user but I only have a guest log in enable which have no admin privilege, so I tried to system restore it, it is taking too long to wait so I decided to hit the sack earlier today I noticed that the laptop is turned off I check the power cable only to find out it wasn't plugged-in properly.

Ok here is the story, I changed laptop's admin password and an hour later I seemed to failed what is current password (somehow I might have slipped my finger/s into different button-twice ((for the confirmation of new password))
