"y" (yes) to confirm your action and "n" (no) to deny the action and hit
"Enter".

4 The program asks whether to continue to remove passwords for other
accounts. Enter "y" to continue and "n" to finish. Eject your USB from
your computer first and press any key to restart the computer from
Windows. Now you can log in Windows with an empty password (with no
password.), just click “Enter” when you login.

Great overview. I always recommend the Offline Password and Registry editor. It is a boot disk that will allow you to easily reset or blank any account on your system.

I have put together a simple tutorial on how to use it on my blog: http://dabermania.blogspot.com/2011/05/resetting-password-with-offline-nt.html

In fact, when we lost Windows password the best way is admin password or reset disk. If you have one of them you can try them at first. But when all you don't have I think the quickest and the best way will be reset software. For my experience, for reset software I prefer to Anmosoft Windows Password Reset, which can help reset, change or create a user password, and you can know more from:

If you have a repair disk, of course you can try it to crack Windows password. But if you don't have maybe you can consider using Ophcrack. Most time it is helpful but cannot guarantee 100% successful reset. Above all, the last one should be the best method for your Windows password reset. Another safe and effective software you can try, Windows Login Recovery, which I have used and you can visit from:

It is now 2016 and most of the tools listed above doesn't work for now as I tested them out two days ago. If you still look for a way to reset windows login password, then UUkeys is currently the best one. It can reset password for windows 10/8/7/vista/xp. Here is the guide: http://www.uukeys.com/reset-windows-7-password.html

My name is Maggie Lawson, and I am very enthusiastic to join the Internet of Think study program at STIKOM University. I am very interested in the world of technology and how software can help solve real world problems.

Since young, I have had a passion for programming. I started learning my first programming language at the age of 18, and since then, I have never stopped learning and developing my skills. I've worked on several small projects and worked on several applications https://ateliersansfrontieres.org/, which helped me understand the software development process from start to finish.

I am very interested in learning concepts like web development, mobile app development and database management. I also believe that collaboration is the key to creating great software, and I am passionate about working in teams to tackle complex challenges.

While at university, I hope to deepen my understanding of various programming languages, software development methodologies, and also understand how to solve problems in software development effectively. In addition, I plan to engage in group projects and practicums to gain deeper practical experience.

Outside of academia, I enjoy exploring side projects, learning about the latest trends in the tech industry, and participating in developer communities. I also believe that continuous learning is the key to staying relevant in the rapidly changing world of technology.

I really enjoyed meeting my classmates, lecturers and professionals in the software industry. Let's explore this exciting world together and collaborate to create innovative solutions.
