Forgot Your Windows Password?
A lot of people think that after having lost their Windows admin password, they absolutely have to reinstall their OS. Let me tell you something: They are wrong! Here I’m posting a few methods / utilities which can be used to recover Windows password:

1st Method:

The first thing which you check if you forget login password. When we install Windows, it automatically creates an account “Administrator” and sets its password to blank. So if you have forget your user account password then try this:

Start system and when you see Windows Welcome screen / Login screen, press CTRL+ALT+DEL keys twice and it’ll show Classic Login box. Now type “Administrator” (without quotes) in Username and leave Password field blank. Now press Enter and you should be able to log in Windows.

Now you can reset your account password from “Control Panel -> User Accounts”.

Same thing can be done using Safe Mode. In Safe Mode Windows will show this in-built Administrator account in Login screen.

2th Method:

There are many 3rd party utilities which claim to recover forgotten Windows password:

if you forgot windows XP, vista, password: Try this method:

turn it on and tap f8… till u get advanced boot options… try safe mode with networking and when asked for the user, u should have an option “admin´´ that wont ask you for a password… if so, configure youre pc from there… and restart… DONT access the internet from safe mode, you could mess your pc up…

if it still not works for you, maybe iSeepassword works:

I assume that you can not get past the opening screen without a password. If you can, go to settings, type ‘restore’ into the search box at the top and it will offer you a ‘restore to an earlier date’ option. Just choose a time before you updated and you should be ok.

or try some other windows password reset tools like Tunesbro.
