A lost password or locked Windows account is the most frequent problem data recovery specialists have to deal with.

There is a quicker and more elegant way out of this situation. Just run Reset Windows Passwords from a bootable CD or USB and reset the forgotten password or unlock the account. It's a matter of a few minutes! Reset Windows Password is the most powerful solution for recovering or bypassing all types of Windows account passwords: user, administrator, Active Directory accounts, and domain users/admins.

How it works (video)
Working with Reset Windows Password: creating the bootable disk, loading the program, changing a forgotten password.

Requirements
2 GB of RAM, 64-bit compatible CPU, CD-ROM (DVD) or USB drive, OS based on Windows NT. The size of the bootable USB drive should be 512 MB or bigger (Microsoft recommends a 2-32 GB USB stick for better compatibility).

Compatibility
Operating systems: Windows NT-11, Windows server 2000-2022. File systems: FAT12, FAT16, FAT32, NTFS, NTFS5, ReFS. The BIOS should support booting from CD/DVD or USB devices.

Supported languages
Brazilian, Chinese, Croatian, English, French, Gujarati, Hebrew, Hindi, Hungarian, German, Italian, Persian, Polish, Russian, Spanish, Thai.

Limitations
Despite the fact that the program comes with several popular mass-storage drivers (ATI, Highpoint, Intel, Jmicron, Marvell, Nvidia, Silicon Image, Sis, Uli, Via, Vmware), some PCs may require a 3d-party hard disk driver. Please refer to your motherboard manual.

Known issues and bugs
- If the target computer has 2 or more logical drives, the sequence of the letters for these disks may be set totally different than in the original system.
- If you are resetting a password of the built-in Administrator in Windows XP Home edition or in some versions of Windows, please keep in mind that in order to activate the internal administrator account, you would need to load the system in safe mode.
- After you reset the password, you may temporarily lose access to your Web site passwords, file share credentials, Wireless connection passwords, EFS-encrypted files, e-mails encrypted with your private keys, other personal data encrypted with DPAPI. For more detailed information, refer to Microsoft's article.
- In certain cases, password reset has no effect. For example, if you're trying to reset a password on an RODC, or the target account belongs to 'Denied RODC Password Replication Group'.
- Password reset (as well as other features that require disk-write operations) on a virtual OS will have no effect.
- Some UEFI-based PCs have compatibility issues with certain USB devices. If that's your case, consider creating the RWP bootable CD instead or try out the 'Max compatibility' mode of our IsoBurner tool.
- Some anti-virus software may incorrectly treat the program as potentially dangerous or block the IsoBurner tool from being creating a bootable environment. Contact your AV vendor to eliminate the problem.
