Please keep your comments focused on this exact app and tell us how it works, if it’s o.k. and what do you think about.

A link to freeware alternative is really great but please first tell us something about this give away so we can decide if we gonna install it or not.

Thanks and have a nice day :)

Everyone keeps telling you how to do it WITHOUT downloading another program. The idea is, if you can already do it, why do you need ANOTHER way to do it? If that can’t help you decide to install or not, nothing can help you……….

When you run this the initial install screen with question marks everywhere (??????) is actually a self extracting rar – just choose the directory that you want to extract to (or leave it to go to C: drive – Path by default: C:\PasswordRecovery as stated in the readme file) Then hit the bottom button on the left to extract the actual setup files, then navigate to that directory to install the real exe.

For example, the username is Andrew and you want the new password to be “michael”, type “net user Andrew michael”, then enter, and it will change the password of the username Andrew to michael. Note: you cannot make blank as your password by typing “net user Andrew”. You have to have a password entered. If you want to change password to blank, you can go later to Control Panel after this, then enter user account, and change it accordingly entering the old password as “michael” and leaving the new password blank.

If you created a Password Reset Disk in past, you can use that disk to reset the password. To know more about it, please visit following links:

If you did not create a Password Reset Disk in past, Lazesoft Recovery My Password is a good solution for the situation. It enable you to reset the lost password and logon with a blank password.

Native Windows version of the Lazesoft Recover My Password that can be run directly from Windows instead of from a boot disc. This can be used to recover the password of one Windows installation from another on a dual- or multi-boot system, or when the hard drive of the computer whose password was lost is connected temporarily to a working computer.

can this made in a bootable cd

thanks

The Boot-cd edition I think is adequate. You cannot use the Windows edition to reset password on the system where it is installed. It can only reset password on a 2nd OS other than the host OS (where Lazesoft Recover My Password is installed). So, the most straight forward way to reset password is simply by using the boot cd, especially when you just have one Windows OS installed.

The title of the software, “Recovery” is quite a misnomer. It does not recover your password, but actually just reset your password to blank, as if you have never set any password. If you search the internet, there are actually several sites that instruct you how to do the same (that is resetting your password to blank), using the cmd console. But since I always forget how to, I might as well make a boot-cd, for easy resetting just in case I need it again.
