Method 3: Reset Windows password with Windows password recovery program

In this method, you need to load a recovery program on another computer, then burn it to a CD/USB. Boot your locked computer from CD/USB and reset WIndows password offline. This is a universal password reset method.

You need to reset or remove that Windows administrator password when forgot it.

 

The easiest way to reset Windows administrator password is using a previous created Windows password reset disk. But when you didn't create such a disk for that administrator account before you forgot its password, is there any quick and easy trick to reset it? Yes, you need the program Daossfot Windows Password Rescuer.

 

Download Daossoft Windows Password Rescuer by Google search. Install it into another accessible computer. Launch it to burn it to a USB/CD/DVD flash drive. Then boot your locked computer from the flash drive. Finally, follow its detailed instruction to reset or remove the administrator password.
