You can copy important data using a bootable Linux DVD or USB among other methods. It also deletes all data, so you might want to copy important data before going through with this. The Factory Reset option resets the computer to the way it was when you first bought it.

You can try Ophcrack to reset your windows admin password, maybe it works. I've tried hitting enter, but it just keeps making more copies of the question I'm just seriously lost here, can someone help me figure this out PLEASE!!!! Thank you. and other help but they seem to fly through this part without even answering the question. The problem is, I don't know the path or what to do I've tried looking for vids. What is the path to the registry directory? (relative to windows disk)

Hi all, I forgot my password to my PC administrator account "I know, stupid" so I burned this (Offline NT Password editor) to a disk and booted it up. I just know that many users that fail to correctly reset their passwords with this tool are actually failing just because they don't get to the end of the process (they don't read the instructions). I apologize if something of my message sounds somehow "rude" to someone. When you get into your Windows account, go and set a new password. Only NOW take out your CD and reset your system.
If you do, and you think that everything was done correctly, then press "n" so to finish the program. If you still can't find your correct Windows registry path, you may use PMagic in UBCD to find the correct drive "number" and the correct Windows Registry path for the correct "User name".Īre you seeing the "EDIT COMPLETE" message? As with the OP, sometimes it just takes a little bit more time.
The additional tip I can tell you is, be patient. You need to type "y" so to actually right the changes. NOW it asks "Step FOUR - writing back changes". Now you need to press "q" (without quotation marks) to quit. In the previous step you used "!" to quit only "a part" of the process. Now type "!" (without quotation marks) so to quit this part of the process. If there are no errors, then you should see a message like "Password Cleared!". Select option "1" to clear (blank) user password. If the user name is the default for that step, simply press. You should select the correct option to "Edit user data and passwords" (option 1, ).Īfter that, you need to type in the correct exact user name (with the same lower or upper cases). I can't know if this is your case, but let me ask you after accepting the default registry path, what did you do? This is usually the problem with users not reading the complete screen with command line tools. If you don't use encryption, then deleting the password should give you access to Windows so you can set a new one.įor Windows Seven, the "Windows" partition is usually number 2. Some laptops and systems alike have encryption installed without the user even knowing it. So if you have some encryption software, eventually you will still need to enter the correct password to get to your data. So for future readers of this topic, please take note of this particular change if/when using an updated ntpasswd version. Is to main menu or program exit (if not -i option) (not understanding to use ! to quit), so after user edit, return A lot of users complained about user select being difficult to exit
