How
to Hack Windows Administrator Password
This hack will show you how to reset
Windows administrator password (for Win 2000, XP, Vista and Win 7) at times
when you forget it or when you want to gain access to a computer for which you
do not know the password.
Most
of us have experienced a situation where in we need to gain access to a
computer which is password protected or at times we may forget the
administrator password without which it becomes impossible to login to the
computer. So, if you are somewhat in a same kind of situation, here is an
excellent hack using which you can reset the password or make the
password empty (remove the password) so that you can
gain administrator access to the computer.
You
can do this with a small tool called Offline NT Password & Registry Editor. This utility works offline, that means you need to shut
down your computer and boot off your using a floppy disk, CD or USB device
(such as pen drive). The tool has the following features:
- You do not need to know the old password to set a new one.
- This tool can detect and unlock locked or disabled out user accounts!
- There is also a registry editor and other registry utilities that works under linux/unix, and can be used for other things than password editing.
How
it works?
Most
Windows operating systems stores the login passwords and other encrypted
passwords in a file called sam (Security Accounts Manager). This
file can be usually found in \windows\system32\config. This file is a
part of Windows registry and remains inaccessible as long as the OS is
active. Hence, it is necessary that you boot off your computer and
access this sam file via the boot menu. This tool
intelligently gains access to this file and will reset/remove the
password associated with administrator or any other account.
The
download link along with the
complete instructions is given below:

It
is recommended that you download the CD version of the tool since the floppy
drive is outdated or doesn’t exist in today’s computer. After the download,
you’ll get a bootable image which you need to burn it onto a blank CD. Now boot
your computer from this CD and follow the screen instructions to reset the
password.
Another
simple way to reset non-administrator account passwords:
Here
is another simple way through which you can reset the password of any non-administrator
accounts. The only requirement for this is that you need to have administrator
privileges. Here is a step-by-step instruction to accomplish this task:
- Open the command prompt (Start->Run->type cmd->Enter)
- Now type net user and hit Enter
- Now the system will show you a list of user accounts on the computer. Say for example, you need to reset the password of the account by name XYZ, then do as follows:
- Type net user XYZ * and hit Enter. Now, the system will ask you to enter the new password for the account. That’s it. Now you’ve successfully reset the password for XYZ without knowing his old password.
So,
in this way you can reset the password of any Windows account at times when you
forget it so that you need not re-install your OS for any reason
