[Leto Corrales]

Insertthe disc into the system you trying to unlock/reset the password and boot the disc. After the disc unpacks and loads you will be at a Ultimate Boot CD screen. Select the Parted Magic item and hit enter.

The next screen you have to select your graphic settings. If on a physical system you should take the default settings option. If on a virtual system you should run on the alternate graphical server option.

Once parted magic loads go to start > System Tools >PC login now. Click next to continue. Select the OS you are running and click next. You will now be a user selection screen. Select the user you are trying to reset, then below select the check box that password is empty, this will blank the password. Click next. You now have to manually reboot by going to Start >logout>reboot. When your system boots to windows you will be prompted to type in a new password for the user you just blanked.

Step 1: Download Windows Password Key in another accessible PC.

Step 2: Run the downloaded file and install it.

Step 3: Burn a reset disk with Windows Password Key.

Step 4: Reset your password with created disk above.

Before getting started, you need to download the Ultimate Boot CD (about 588Mb) from its official website, and then burn it to a CD. With the CD you can follow the steps below to reset forgotten Windows 8/7/Vista/XP password:

Michael Stoltzfus:Hey, thanks so much for the Ultimate Boot CD (UBCD)! Since I downloaded it a few months ago, I have really been astounded by the functionality of it and THE INCREDIBLE AMOUNT OF TOOLS supplied with it. I have a small computer repair shop and the disc has been very helpful. So far I have been able to resurrect 2 hard drives that I thought were junk as well quickly clean off some other computers. Keep up the good work, and if it helps, I live in Africa, where this disc is the salvation for many virus-ridden computers. Thank-you again.

Richard:This is the one CD that works!!!!! I have made a few like this to help repair, and recover the damned, and broken computers, for those who have paid nicely to have their Computers repaired. I have made a donation for your cause, because I am now a believer in your quest to help the frustrated, me included, make haste of long drawn out disk healing. Thank you so very much for taking the time to make such an awesome CD.

Steve Coffman:Thanks much for UBCD! I was able to recover a Windows XP system where the SAM registry hive (where the local Users & Groups reside) was totally corrupt and no one could log in, and I couldn't even log in to the local Administrator account - I attempted to use Petter Nordahl-Hagen's Offline NT Password & Registry Editor to reset the password, thinking initially that someone had set the wrong one, or it had been changed or corrupted, but no local User accounts even existed - including the default Administrator account! Using NTFS4DOS I was able to run a disk check on the HD repairing some damage, then I was able to manually restore the registry files from the initial Windows install, which allowed me to finally then boot into Safe Mode and log into the local Admin account so I could restore a current registry backup from the System Restore folders. It was a fair amount of work, but the upshot is I was able to totally restore the system without any data loss. Since this was an administrator's laptop, it saved me a lot of potential headaches... Couldn't have done it without your UBCD - thanks again!

Xin-Xin Zheng:Thank you so much for making this tool available! I managed to break two PCs simultaneously yesterday. My boss was pissed. Now using your tool, I've managed to fix one of them. A simple MBR thing.

Aaron K:I've been using the Ultimate Boot CD at work for a while now, and I finally felt given today's events it was appropriate to thank you for maintaining it and all the work you've done on it. I had a HP Server crap all over a RAID array at work today on an important production server that recently had a $7000 piece of software installed on it - of course there were no backups. The partition table was trashed, boot sector ruined, and general partition structure jumbled. I knew the raw data was still there (I could tell using the apps on the CD), but I had to rebuild the bootable portions of the hard drive. Using UBCD I was able to successfully recover the partition structure, flag the proper partition as bootable, rebuild the boot sector, and edit the boot.ini file. I have found your Boot CD to absolutely useful in 1000 ways in my daily tasks as a Network Analyst. I also consistently use it for a general "DOS Network Boot Disk", thus replacing my old 1.44 floppy standbys (Darn computers lately shipping without floppy drives too!) Keep up the great work - you really saved my butt today even if you don't know it. THANKS AGAIN!

Robert Cline:I do a lot of experimenting with my computer systems; some call it "hacking". Anyway, I was using KNOPPIX a couple days ago. And, while going through some of the "HACKS" from the book "Knoppix Hacks", I messed up two 120GB HDDs (my system hung while running the shred program) (twice). I tried several different ideas to boot and run a recovery tool when I recalled the manufacturer's utilities you include on the UBCD, so I thought I would give your disk a try. I booted your CD, selected the Hard Disk Tools, ran Western Digital's Data Lifeguard, and was able to repair both drives in a matter of minutes. I'm sure I could have fixed these drives with other techniques, but this was so fast and easy why bothers. Thanks for such an outstanding tool. I have witnessed the evolution of your masterpiece and I really like the progress you and your collaborators have made. Keep up the good work.

Nathaniel:Your Ultimate Boot CD is great! I just downloaded your newest version (3.2) and it's even better than the last one I used. I especially like the addition of Insert. It's nice to have all of those great tools, plus a live Linux distro that doesn't even use that much space. I burned you UBCD onto a small 210MB CD and it works great and easily fits in my pocket. Excellent job and keep up the good work.

Zbynek Petrik:Jesus! I haven't been so mad about any PC-related product for a LONG time till I found Ultimate Boot CD. This is what I always wanted. It proves that free software can do anything that paid one can. I especially appreciate the possibility of customizing the CD. Very good job. Thank you and good luck!

Errol Schmit:Bought Norton System Works 2005 Premier Edition and made the mistake of installing "Go Back" which slowed my system to a crawl. Trying to remove it became a nightmare, it became "The Guest That Wouldn't Leave"! Deleting two files in a desperate attempt to keep it from trying to reinstall itself resulted in the destruction of the boot sector. My friend and Guru Larry Burgess spent a day and a half trying to resurrect it without success, until he finally tried "The Ultimate Boot CD". THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!

Robert:I'm working at a computer store in Sweden as technician, Finding what problem customers PC's have has never been that easy before, knowing whatever hardware that person may have I will have the right tool, regarding harddrive/mobo and memory i know that I will have the best tools on earth to throw at that PC. Many thanks to that/those people who made this CD a reality, Have been using it for about 8-12 months already and never have I been so happy for any software as this contribution. I hope this will only get bigger and better. Trust me, there is nothing else on this earth that even comes close to this software.

Pootang Danang:Ultimate Boot CD is the BEST bootable recovery medium i have ever used. I have tried many others including "Hirens Boot CD" but they are all no match, i am also glad to see that you have include "antivir" my own personal favorite antivirus. KUDOS!

Mike G:Ultimate Boot CD has saved my ass so many times from another headache or just more work than was needed. You have saved me an unimaginable amount of time and stress with this handy utility.

Phil Craven:Has to be "THE BEST TOOL" in an I.T.'s kit. I have use it on almost every version of Windows OS and it has never let me down. I own several other software diagnostic tools but your is by far the best. The great thing about it is it's free for everyone. I always supply a copy with each system I work on. You did just an outstanding job and continue to do so. Keep up the great work.

Lee Robertson:I wanted to thank you for the great job with the Ultimate Boot CD. It has been a great tool to help with clients' computers. I will be providing a link to your site from my troubleshooting page so people can download it.

Sly Glaouenn:I am a french student. I discovered Ultimate Boot CD few months ago... And I love it! I often use it in my work and think is the most complete boot CD I have ever seen. I just wanted to say you that was a very nice job.. and THANK YOU for this excellent tool!!!

Rudolf Finszter:I want to congratulate you that you do this huge and excellent work with UBCD. It is the most complete collection I have ever seen, and gives me the most powerful toolset. In short as a computer expert: I love it!

Himanshu Agarwal:I was really shocked, when I came to know about your Ultimate Boot CD. I was surfing net, searching for "easy recovery professional" on Google last week. It showed your link, so I clicked it on. Then, WOW....you are really great. You have done a great hard job SIR. All requirements in one single CD, even less than 150MB. It's really amazing and how simply it is to use. Many praise from my side and those using UBCD.
