Reset Lost or Forgotten Login Password

We must reset windows password if forgetting it to login the PC. In general, the password will be reset when a password risk is ready and reset a new password as a system administrator. Without this protective measure, anyone will reset the password of other’s computers and then gain access to private information. It will be sorry if not. In that case, you need to format and re-install the operating system. This is sure for security considerations. How shall we get rid of the trouble without formatting and re-installing the operating system?

One method of gaining access to the system is by trying hard to remember the forgotten password, or a password of another user which has the same level of administrative rights. However, I don't think this approach will help you. Otherwise, you will be enjoying your computer now.

Another method is trying to restore a backup System State in Windows 2000/XP/2003 or a ERD in NT 4.0, in which you do remember the password. The problem with doing so is that you'll probably lose all of the recent adding users and groups, and all the changed passwords for all of your users since the last backup was made. The last method may be suitable for someone who is not techie on short time or not familiar with computer system operations is using the windows password reset software that will enable you to reset the lost password and logon with a blank password.

But you must pay attention that resetting a user's or administrator's windows password in some systems (like Windows XP) might cause data loss, especially EFS-encrypted files and saved passwords from within Internet Explorer. To protect yourself against EFS-encrypted files loss you should always export your Private and Public key, along with the keys for the Recovery Agent user. Out of the following list, the only tool that will not cause any harm to EFS-encrypted files on your hard disk is the Super Windows Password Reset. You should make prdent choice of the 3rd party tool.
