<br />
To get the software to work, you will need to make a PCUnlocker Live
CD from another computer. Boot your locked Windows XP system from the
Live CD and you can easily hack forgotten logon password in the
Security Accounts Manager (SAM). These instructions are written assuming
a bootable CD is being used, but are essentially the same for a
bootable USB drive.<br />
<br />
<b>How to Hack Windows XP Logon Password?</b><br />
<ol>
<li><a href="http://www.top-password.com/download/pcunlocker_trial.zip">Download</a>
the PCUnlocker software using an alternative computer. Once downloaded,
extract the ISO file (pcunlocker.iso) from the ZIP file.</li>
<li>Next download and install <a href="http://www.top-password.com/download/ISO2DiscSetup.exe">ISO2Disc</a>, a freeware for making bootable CD or USB drive. Run the ISO2Disc program, click on <b>Browse</b> button to select the PCUnlocker ISO image.
<br/>
<img alt="Create a PCUnlocker Live CD" src="http://www.top-password.com/images/iso2disc.png" /></li>
<li>Choose your CD/DVD recorder and click on <b>Start Burn</b> to make a PCUnlocker Live CD.</li>
<li>After you've created a PCUnlocker Live CD, put it in the CD drive of
the locked Windows XP computer you want to hack the password for.</li>
<li>Power on the computer and quickly press the key indicated in the
POST screen (i.e. DELETE key, F2 key, F12 key) to enter BIOS Setup. The
exact key depends on your computer – if you don't see the appropriate
key displayed on your screen, consult your computer's manual.</li>
<li>Once you're in the BIOS Setup, go to the <b>Boot</b> menu. Change the boot sequence and set your computer to boot from CD/DVD first.
<br/>
<img alt="Change boot order in BIOS" src="http://www.top-password.com/images/bios-setting.png" /></li>
<li>Press F10 to save your changes and exit the BIOS.</li>
<li>The computer will then restart from PCUnlocker Live CD. After a
while, you'll see the PCUnlocker program and it shows you a list of
local accounts stored in the Security Accounts Manager (SAM).
<br/>
<img alt="Reset Windows Password" src="http://www.top-password.com/images/pcunlocker.png" /></li>
<li>Choose a user and click <b>Reset Password</b> button, the program will unlock / hack Windows XP logon password immediately.</li>
<li>Now take out the Live CD. The next time you boot, Windows XP will
load up on its own without asking for a password. If you're on a
multi-user computer, the logon screen will still appear after starting
Windows XP but when you click on the user that had the password removed,
you will not be prompted for a password and will instead enter Windows
automatically.</li>
</ol>
If you don't see your desired user on the Windows XP Welcome screen,
press Ctrl+Alt+Del twice to display the classic logon dialog and you
will be able to type both user name and password.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06865174630786288666noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4282079803382007744.post-23760824941078776302014-06-28T06:27:00.001-07:002014-06-28T06:31:23.696-07:00Change Windows 7 Password without Knowing Original PasswordNeed to change Windows 7 password because you've forgotten the original password? As you all know without
knowing the current password we are unable to change Windows password.
Today I am going to tell you two ways to change Windows 7 password
without knowing original password.<br />
<br />
<h3>
Option 1: Change Windows 7 Password from Command Prompt</h3>
<h3>
</h3>
This is an especially handy trick if you want to change a
password on an account but you've forgotten the old password (going
through the Control Panel can require confirmation of the old password).
You need to have admin access to perform this change from the command
line.
<br />
<ol class="sectionlist">
<li>Open an elevated Command Prompt. Click on <b>Start</b> button, go to <b>All Programs</b> -> <b>Accessories</b> and right click on <b>Command Prompt</b> and select "Run as Administrator" from context menu.</li>
<li>You can use the <i>net user</i> command to change Windows password easily, without supplying the old password:
<pre style="color: green; margin: 0;">net user username new_password</pre>
Replace <i>username</i> with your Windows account name, and <i>new_password</i> with your desired new password.<br />
<img alt="change windows password from command prompt" src="http://www.top-password.com/images/reset_windows7_password.png" height="165" width="400" />
<br />
</li>
</ol>
If you're totally locked out of Windows, you're unable to run any
program such as command line tool to change your password. In this
situation, you need to use a bootable media to change Windows password.<br />
<h3>

<h3>
Option 2: Change Windows 7 Password with PCUnlocker</h3>
<h3>
</h3>
<a href="http://www.top-password.com/reset-windows-password.html" style="text-decoration: underline;">PCUnlocker</a>
is a bootable utility that can reset the password of any Windows user
account. It works with all versions of Windows, including Windows 8, 7, Vista and XP. Follow these steps and you can <a href="http://www.top-password.com/knowledge/change-windows-password-without-knowing-old-password.html">change Windows password without knowing old password</a>:
<br />
<ol class="sectionlist">
<li>
First of all, you need to use another PC to <a href="http://www.top-password.com/download/pcunlocker_trial.zip" style="text-decoration: underline;">download</a> the PCUnlocker program, which comes as a bootable CD image. Burn the ISO image to a blank CD or USB drive using the <a href="http://www.top-password.com/download/ISO2DiscSetup.exe" style="text-decoration: underline;">ISO2Disc</a> utility.</li>
<li>Insert the newly burned CD or USB drive into your target computer, and set it to boot from CD/USB. </li>
<li>Once you've booted into the CD/USB drive, you'll be
presented with the screen of PCUnlocker. This program automatically
locates the SAM database file for your installed Windows operating
system, and shows you a list of local user accounts. <br />

named it "sethc-copy".</li>
<li>Now find the cmd.exe file in the same folder. This is your Command
Prompt. rename it to sethc.exe. Then close out of all the dialog boxes
and Finish, so that the computer restarts.</li>

Many of you might have seen the message "Your password has expired
and must be changed" at log-on, if you haven't changed Windows user
password for a long time.<br />
<br />
<img src="http://www.top-password.com/images/windows-password-expired.jpg" /><br />
<br />
In this tutorial we'll show you two options to disable the
password expiration for a Windows user account in Windows 8, 7, Vista or
XP. So the password expiration notification will never appear again at
login.
<br />
<h4>
</h4>
<h4>
Option 1: Disable Password Expiration with Command Prompt</h4>
<br />
This method requires you to log on Windows with admin rights. Password
expiration can promote system security by forcing you to change your
password on a regular basis.
But in certain circumstances it may cause some inconvenience. Follow
these steps you can turn off password expiration for all Windows
accounts:
<br />
<ol class="sectionlist">
<li>Open an elevated Command Prompt. In Windows 8 or 8.1, you can press the <b>Windows</b> and <b>X</b> keys together and then click on <b>Command Prompt (Admin)</b>.
</li>
<li>At the Command Prompt, simply run the following command which sets your Windows password to never expire.
<pre style="color: green; margin: 0;">net accounts /maxpwage:unlimited</pre>
</li>
</ol>
Someone may suggest you to use this command: net user Administrator
/expires:never. But this will set your account to never expire, NOT the
password. You can find out the differences by reading this article: <a href="http://www.top-password.com/blog/differences-between-user-account-expiration-and-password-expiration/" style="text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank">Differences Between User Account Expiration and Password Expiration</a>.
<br />
<h4>
</h4>
<h4>
Option 2: Remove Password Expiration with PCUnlocker</h4>
<br />
Can't log in after your Windows password expires? Or Can't change
the expired password because you've forgotten the old password? Just
boot your computer from PCUnlocker Live CD, you can <a href="http://www.top-password.com/knowledge/windows-password-expired.html">reset an expired password</a> for any Windows user account.
<br />
<ol class="sectionlist">
<li>Download the <a href="http://www.top-password.com/reset-windows-password.html" style="text-decoration: underline;">PCUnlocker</a> program using another computer. The download file is self-extracting .zip archive which contains an ISO image.
</li>
<li>Extract the ISO image from the zip file, and then burn it to a
blank CD (or USB flash drive) using any CD burning program such as <a href="http://www.top-password.com/download/ISO2DiscSetup.exe" style="text-decoration: underline;">ISO2Disc</a> or ImgBurn.</li>
<li>Put the CD in the CD drive of the computer with an expired
Windows password. Change the boot order in BIOS and get the computer to
boot from CD.</li>
<li>After booting into the CD, the PCUnlocker program will start and
it displays a list of Windows local accounts on your system. Choose an
expired account and click on <b>Reset Password</b> button.
</li>
<li>The program will remove the password and also set your account password to never expire.
</li>
</ol>
Besides resetting an expired Windows password, you can also use
PCUnlocker to unlock a disabled or locked user account in Windows 8, 7,
Vista and XP.

point of being unusable, reinstalling Windows may be the best and
quickest solution. But I always forget something like backing up product
keys and email accounts. So, you are probably wondering <a href="http://www.top-password.com/blog/what-to-backup-before-reinstalling-windows/">what to backup before reinstalling Windows</a>. Here's a checklist of the things you should do before you make a clean install of Windows. Well, let's take a look.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBxm17kTOge_xZFz3668QiyZPy-izHbjQZNZ4vZAUouqTf_KbHBSpbf40tnZRl7tgSUnabnZYhhIFfuv1EXJX28qwZ_9MZJ3XWtJou0HMj78oPX03vh92zMPOx5t1SqRQEGWbrHQEZ24tY/s1600/reinstall-windows.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBxm17kTOge_xZFz3668QiyZPy-izHbjQZNZ4vZAUouqTf_KbHBSpbf40tnZRl7tgSUnabnZYhhIFfuv1EXJX28qwZ_9MZJ3XWtJou0HMj78oPX03vh92zMPOx5t1SqRQEGWbrHQEZ24tY/s1600/reinstall-windows.jpg" height="236" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<b>Stored Logins and Passwords</b><br />
<br />
If you are using your browser to store the passwords for Web sites,
you will be in for a rude awakening after reinstalling Windows – they
will be gone. Your browser is a poor place to keep your website logins
and passwords. Besides backing up website passwords, you might also need
to export your email account settings (POP3, SMTP and passwords), and
passwords stored in your FTP software, instant messengers and other
applications.<br />
<br />
If you can't remember your passwords, you can take use of the <a href="http://www.top-password.com/password-recovery-bundle.html">Password Recovery Bundle</a>
program. This program can help you retrieve stored passwords from all
popular instant messengers, email clients, web browsers, FTP clients and
many other applications. After recovering, write down and back up them
in a safe place because you need them after you reinstall Windows.<br />
<br />
<b>A List of Programs and License Keys</b><br />
<br />
Reinstallation of Windows means that you are putting a new copy of
the operating system on your hard drive, which will essentially delete
all of the programs you installed. In order to restore your original
settings and to know what programs you need to reinstall later, you
might want to create a list of all the programs on the computer before
reinstalling Windows.<br />
<br />
Some of your core apps or drivers may be on DVD, CD, or comes as an
ISO image. Pull out your media and set it in a stack ready for
reinstallation later. It’s also important to keep track of valuable
license keys for your Windows, Office or other programs installed on the
local machine. While you can do this manually by typing the license
keys up in a text document, there is a very easy way to do this,
especially if you have <a href="http://www.top-password.com/product-key-finder.html">KeyFinder Plus</a>
installed on your computer. All you need is to open KeyFinder Plus,
click on the "Start Recovery" button then click "Save To File" and
choose where you want to save it. From here, you can then back up all
your license keys in a single file.<br />
<br />
<b>Emails, Address Book and Bookmarks</b><br />
<br />
If you store your emails and your email address book on your PC via
an email client, then you will want to back up your e-mail and address
book before reinstalling Windows. This applies to you if you use a
program like Outlook, Lotus, or Thunderbird. If you use a web-based
email client like Gmail or Yahoo Mail, then you won't have to worry
about this. Also, if you would like to keep the bookmarks for your
favorite Web sites, then you should back these up as well.<br />
<br />
<b>Important Documents, Video Files and Photos</b><br />
<br />
Most people don't want to lose their important photos, videos, or
documents when reinstalling Windows. Before reinstalling Windows, make
sure you backup all the important video and audio files as well as
pictures to your storage media (DVD, USB drive or external hard drive)
where they cannot be tampered with. By default, Windows will store these
in sub-folders under the "My Documents" or "Documents" folder.<br />
<br />
<b>Conclusion</b><br />
<br />
The above list is just about what you need to backup before
installing Windows. However, you can also take an image of your whole
hard drive using Norton Ghost so you won't lose anything.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06865174630786288666noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4282079803382007744.post-91848739878936445462014-03-08T02:16:00.000-08:002014-03-08T02:17:21.865-08:00How to Bypass Windows 7 Login / Logon ScreenTired of having to type in a password every time you want to log into

<br />
<b>Forgot Windows 7 Password? How to Bypass Windows 7 Login Screen?</b><br />
<br />
The method above requires you to know the existing Windows password
on your computer. How to bypass Windows login screen if you forgot your
password? In this situation, you need to remove your forgotten Windows
password in order to bypass Windows login screen. Follow these
step-by-step instructions:<br />
<br />
<b>Step #1:</b> Download the <a href="http://www.top-password.com/reset-windows-password.html">PCUnlocker</a> program and save it on an alternate PC which you have full access to.
Unzip the download file and you'll get the pcunlocker.iso file.
Burn the ISO image to an empty CD (or USB flash drive) using ISO2Disc
program.<br />
<br />
<b>Step #2:</b> Simply insert the CD into your locked
computer and restart it. You may have to call up the boot menu by
pressing F12 or something, but it may automatically boot from the CD
drive you inserted.<br />
<br />
<b>Step #3:</b> Once the computer boots up from the CD, it
will open up the PCUnlocker program. Select a user account

might still appear even if you are using a blank password. If you're
that case, just press OK to log on your computer. After getting into
Windows, you can use the method above to enable automatic logon feature.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06865174630786288666noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4282079803382007744.post-40462327703895076132014-03-07T03:15:00.003-08:002014-03-07T03:16:17.226-08:00How to Bypass BIOS Password on HP, Dell, Acer, Lenovo, Toshiba, Asus, Samsung, Song ComputersLost or forgot your BIOS password? Without the password, you can't access BIOS to change boot order.
This also means you can't change the boot order to boot into a CD or USB
drive. Luckily you can <a href="http://www.top-password.com/blog/how-to-remove-bios-password-using-the-jumper-settings/">bypass BIOS password</a> by just removing the CMOS battery from the
motherboard for a few moments and then putting it back in. However, this
is not the case for some computers and you may also need to change the
jumper settings. This trick can be used to <a href="http://www.top-password.com/blog/how-to-remove-bios-password-using-the-jumper-settings/">remove BIOS password</a> on Acer, Dell, HP/Compaq, Toshiba,
Asus, Gateway, Samsung, Lenovo, Sony and Apple computers.
<br />
<br />
<b>Warning:</b> There is a risk of hardware damage and of
personal injury. Follow this procedure exactly to avoid personal injury.
Not all motherboards have removable CMOS batteries. If the battery
won't come loose, don't force it.<br />
<br />
<b>How to Remove BIOS Password Using The Jumper Settings?</b><br />
<ol>
<li>Shut down the computer and then unplug the power cable.</li>
<li>Disconnect all external devices and wait about 15 seconds.</li>
<li>Press and hold the Power button while your computer is unplugged to dissipate static electricity from the motherboard.</li>
<li>Before touching anything inside your computer, ground yourself with a
wrist-grounding strap or by touching an unpainted metal surface, such
as the metal at the back of your computer. While you work, periodically
touch an unpainted metal surface to dissipate static electricity.</li>
<li>Open up your computer case and remove the CMOS battery.</li>
<li>Locate the password jumper on the motherboard, look for the letters
PWD, PSWD, PSWDCLR, CLEAR CMOS, CLEAR, CLR, JCMOS1 or PASSWORD. The
jumper is typically located on the edge of the motherboard or physically
near the CMOS battery.</li>
<li>
To remove the BIOS password, you will need to change the jumper settings.
<ul>
<li>If there are 3 pins under the jumper, moving the jumper over one pin
will change it. For example if the jumper is covering pins 1 and 2,
move it so that it is covering pins 2 & 3. If the jumper is covering
pins 2 and 3, reinstall the jumper over pins 1 and 2.</li>
<li>If there are only 2 pins under the jumper, simply remove the jumper from the pins.</li>
</ul>
<img alt="bios-jumper" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-3253" src="http://www.top-password.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/bios-jumper.jpg" height="204" width="310" /><br />
</li>
<li>Put the CMOS battery back in and close the case.</li>
<li>Reconnect the power cable and turn on your laptop. The BIOS password
should be cleared. After the Windows logon screen appears, turn off
your laptop again.</li>
<li>Disconnect the power cable. Press and hold the power button for 10
seconds to release static electricity from the system. Replace the
jumper to its original position. Close the case and the computer is
ready to be used again.</li>
</ol>
<br />
This method works well for desktop computers, however this is not
practical for laptop users unless the warranty expired long time ago.
BIOS password can add an extra layer of security for desktop and laptop
computers but it is different from a Windows admin password. If you
forgot Windows admin password, you need to take use of <a href="http://www.top-password.com/reset-windows-password.html" style="text-decoration: underline;">PCUnlocker Live CD</a> to remove it.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06865174630786288666noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4282079803382007744.post-21675828244374612712014-03-06T04:53:00.000-08:002014-03-06T04:54:47.490-08:003 Option to Unlock Windows 7 Administrator PasswordHi there, so you <a href="http://www.top-password.com/knowledge/forgot-windows-7-password.html">forgot Windows 7 password</a>,
and now you are wondering how to unlock your computer? You are in the
right place, and to comfort you up a little bit, you are not unique on
this matter. There are a lot of people that for some reason forget the
login password on their computers, and most of the time the answer they
find all over the Internet is to reformat the hard drive, and reinstall
Windows. This is not the answer you will get here, I will share my own 3
ways to help you <a href="http://lostwindows7password.blogspot.com/2014/03/3-option-to-unlock-windows-7.html">unlock Windows 7 administrator password</a>. let's proceed.<br />
<br />
<b>Method 1: Use Password Reset Disk</b><br />
<br />
A password reset disk could really come in handy if you ever forgot
Windows 7 password. The problem with this method is that you have to
create the password reset disk before the password is lost. Assuming
that you have created it in advance, then you can use this method to <a href="http://www.top-password.com/knowledge/reset-windows-7-password.html">reset Windows 7 password</a> easily.<br />
<ol>
<li>Once you've typed the wrong password, Windows 7 will show a <b>Reset password</b> link below the login box.
</li>
<li>Click on the link. Make sure that password reset disk is plugged into the computer at this point.</li>
<li>When the <b>Password Reset Wizard</b> appears, click <b>Next</b> to continue.</li>
<li>Select the right password reset disk. Click <b>Next</b>.</li>
<li>Type in a new password and a hint for the password. Click <b>Next</b>.</li>
<li>Click <b>Finish</b>. Now you can log in to your PC with the new password.</li>
</ol>
<br />
<b>Method 2: Using Other Available Administrative Account</b><br />
<br />
But unlike Windows XP, the built-in Administrator account in Windows 7
is disabled or hidden by default. If you are able to log in your
computer with other available administrative account, it's quite easy
for you to reset forgotten Windows 7 password as follows:<br />
<ol>
<li>Type <span style="color: green;">lusrmgr.msc</span> in the <b>Start</b> search box and hit <b>Enter</b> to pop up the <b>Local Users and Groups</b> window.</li>
<li>Expand <b>Users</b> folder to display all the user accounts in the Windows 7 machine.</li>
<li>Right-click the account whose password you forgot and select <b>Set Password</b>.
<img alt="Reset Administrator Password" src="http://www.top-password.com/images/reset_admin_password.png" /></li>
<li>Click <b>Proceed</b> to go on your operation.</li>
<li>Type and confirm your new password and click <b>Ok</b>.</li>
</ol>
<br />
<b>Method 3: Reset Windows 7 Password by Third-party Software</b><br />
<ol>
<li>Download the self-extracting Zip file of <a href="http://www.top-password.com/reset-windows-password.html">PCUnlocker</a> package.</li>
<li>Uncompress the package, there is a ISO image: <span style="color: green;">pcunlocker.iso</span>. Burn it onto a CD/DVD or USB flash drive.</li>
<li>Boot your locked computer from the newly burned CD/DVD or USB flash drive.</li>
<li>Wait until the boot process is finished. When a window pops up with
all your Windows accounts, select the target one to remove your
forgotten password.<img alt="Reset Windows Password" src="http://www.top-password.com/images/pcunlocker.png" /></li>
</ol>
<br />
Re-installing Windows 7 is always an option, but we consider that a last resort. Installation will help you <a href="http://www.top-password.com/knowledge/remove-windows-password.html">remove forgotten Windows password</a>, but also erase your important data on computer. So don't try this method unless you don't have other solutions.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06865174630786288666noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4282079803382007744.post-92023084210987009432014-03-03T20:55:00.000-08:002014-03-03T20:55:11.376-08:00Lost Admin Rights on Windows 7 User Account<div class="item_class_text">
<a href="http://www.top-password.com/knowledge/lost-admin-rights-on-windows.html">Lost admin rights / privileges</a> on your Windows 7 user account?
If you can't access the administrator account, or your administrator
account was demoted to a guest or limited account, you will be
restricted from performing any administrative tasks.<br />
<br />
In this tutorial we'll explain how to regain your PC's administrator rights with <a href="http://www.top-password.com/reset-windows-password.html">PCUnlocker</a>.
PCUnlocker is a bootable utility that could be used to promote a
limited / standard user account to administrator, or unlock / reset your
forgotten administrator password on Windows 8, 7, Vista and XP.<br />
<h4>
Part 1: Create A PCUnlocker Live CD/USB Drive</h4>
<ol>
<li><a href="http://www.top-password.com/download/pcunlocker_trial.zip">Click here</a> to download and save the <strong>PCUnlocker</strong> self-extracting Zip file to a folder on your hard drive, then extract the ISO image file: <span style="color: green;">pcunlocker.iso</span> from it.</li>
<li>Insert a blank CD or USB flash drive into your computer. Download and install the freeware <a href="http://www.top-password.com/download/ISO2DiscSetup.exe">ISO2Disc</a>.</li>
<li>Start the ISO2Disc program. Click the <strong>Browse</strong> button to locate your ISO image file, then click the <strong>Start Burn</strong> button to burn the ISO image to your CD or USB flash drive.
<img alt="Burn ISO Image to CD/DVD or USB flash drive" src="http://www.top-password.com/images/iso2disc.png" /></li>
</ol>
<h4>
Part 2: Boot Your Locked PC from CD/USB Drive</h4>
<ol>
<li>Connect the burned CD or USB drive to the computer that you're
trying to gain admin rights on. When it is powered on, check the
boot-screen for setup key (i.e. DELETE key, F8 key, F2 key) to enter <strong>BIOS Setup Utility</strong>.</li>
<li>Use the arrow keys to select the <strong>BOOT</strong> tab, then change the <strong>Boot Device Priority</strong>:
Set 1st Boot Device to CDROM if you just created a bootable CD or DVD,
or set 1st Boot Device to Removable Device if a bootable USB flash drive
was created.
<img alt="BIOS Setting" src="http://www.top-password.com/images/bios-setting.png" /></li>
<li>Press <strong>F10</strong> to save your changes. Now your computer
will restart and then boot from PCUnlocker Live CD/USB drive. If you
still can't get your computer to boot from the CD/USB drive, please
refer to this <a href="http://www.top-password.com/knowledge/cant-boot-from-windows-password-reset-disk.html">boot up troubleshooting guide</a>.</li>
</ol>
<h4>
Part 3: Gain Admin Rights on Windows 7 Account</h4>
<ol>
<li>After the computer boots up from the CD or USB drive, it will start
the PCUnlocker program which shows you a list of local accounts that are
stored in Windows SAM registry hive. Select your user account and click
on <strong>Reset Password</strong> button.
<img alt="Gain Admin Rights on Windows Account" height="390" src="http://www.top-password.com/images/promote-windows-account.png" width="435" /></li>
<li>Click <strong>Yes</strong> to confirm your operation. The program
will remove your user password, promote your account to an administrator
if it's a standard or limited account, and enable / unlock it when
necessary.</li>
<li>Click <strong>Restart</strong> to reboot the computer and remove the
CD or USB drive. You can then log into your Windows 7
administrator-level user account without a password.</li>
</ol>
It's so easy to get admin rights back on your Windows 7 account and
regain full control of your computer. I hope this will also help you in

I have a Windows 7 VMware image whose admin password is forgotten. How can I reset or recover the password? Or do I need to rebuild a new machine?</blockquote>
If you ever lost your Windows 7 password, that could be a very heart
wrenching feeling. Don't Panic! This process works for both physical
machines as well as Virtual VMware Images. I'll take you through the
steps to <a href="http://www.top-password.com/knowledge/reset-vmware-administrator-password.html">reset VMware password</a>:<br />
<br />
<b>Step 1:</b> First, download the PCUnlocker program from <a href="http://www.top-password.com/download/pcunlocker_trial.zip">here</a> and save it on your host machine. The download file is a self-extracting archive which contains an ISO image: pcunlocker.iso.<br />
<br />
<b>Step 2:</b> Shut down your Windows 7 VM and attach the PCUnlocker ISO image to the virtual CD/DVD drive.<br />
<br />
<b>Step 3:</b> Now you need to change the boot order in BIOS. <span itemprop="articleBody">To make it easier to access the BIOS setup screen, edit the virtual machine's configuration (<code>.vmx</code>) and add or edit one of these options:</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;"><span itemprop="articleBody"><code>bios.forceSetupOnce = "TRUE"</code></span></span><br />
<br />
<b>Step 4:</b> When your VM instance boots, you will be in the BIOS. Change the BIOS
settings so that your VM Image first boots from the CDROM. Save your changes and exit.<br />
<br />
<b>Step 5:</b> During booting, PCUnlocker will start automatically and you'll see a list of system user account. Select the user you want to clear the password and clear (delete) that password.<br />
<br />
<b>Step 6:</b> Click on "Restart" button to quit this program and then shut down your VM instance.<br />
<br />
<b>Step 7:</b> Edit the *.vmx file again and change: bios.forceSetupOnce = "TRUE" to bios.forceSetupOnce = "FALSE". Save your changes.<br />
<br />
<b>Step 8:</b> Restart your VM instance and you can then log back into Windows 7 without a password!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06865174630786288666noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4282079803382007744.post-59380359708148797602014-03-01T02:31:00.001-08:002014-03-01T02:31:39.609-08:00Recover Windows 7 Admin Password without Admin RightsThere is only one administrator account on your Windows 7 laptop but

Here’s How to Bypass ItLosing Windows 7 password could be a nightmare that will leave you
without access to your system. This could happen out of forgetfulness,
the result of idiotic roommates with nothing better to do, or any number
of other situations that could result in a total loss of access to your
computer. But don't worry! Here we'll show you an easy way to <a href="http://www.top-password.com/blog/lost-windows-password-heres-how-to-bypass-it/">bypass Windows password</a> after you lost your password.<br />
All you really need is a USB drive and another computer to create a
PCUnlocker Live USB drive on. In many cases, you can bypass lost Windows 7 password in just a few minutes.<br />
<strong><br /></strong>
<strong>Lost Windows 7 Password? How to Bypass It?</strong><br />
<ol>
<li>First, you are required to create a PCUnlocker Live USB drive from
another computer that you have access to. This can be your work PC, or a
friend or family member's PC (any PC within your reach). Download the
ISO image of <a href="http://www.top-password.com/reset-windows-password.html" style="text-decoration: underline;">PCUnlocker</a> and burn it to your USB drive using <a href="http://www.top-password.com/download/ISO2DiscSetup.exe">ISO2Disc</a> program.</li>
<li>Insert the PCUnlocker Live USB into your own machine and boot the
computer from it. Before that ensure you have set your BIOS to boot from
USB drive. After successfully booting from PCUnlocker Live USB, it will
load the operating system that is installed on the USB drive.</li>
<li>When the boot process is complete, it will start the PCUnlocker
program. This program automatically searches your Windows installations
and displays all user accounts existing in Windows SAM registry file. In
the list box, you can also find out which user account is password
protected, disabled or locked out.

and can't get admin rights on your computer? Forgot the administrator
password after setting up Parental Controls for your child's account?
With a standard user you are unable to install any programs. When you
try the "net user" command to reset admin password, you'll get the "access denied" error.<br />
<br />
In this article I would like to walk you through using a tool to <a href="http://www.top-password.com/blog/how-to-gain-admin-access-to-windows-from-standard-user-account/">gain admin access to your Windows 7 from standard user account</a>. This
method works on nearly all versions of Windows, including Windows 8, Vista and XP.<br />
<br />
<strong>How to Gain Admin Access to Windows from Standard User Account?</strong><br />
<br />
<strong>Step 1:</strong> First, you need to use another computer to download the zipped ISO image of <a href="http://www.top-password.com/reset-windows-password.html" style="text-decoration: underline;">PCUnlocker</a>. Extract the downloaded file locally and then burn the resulting .iso file to a CD-ROM (or USB flash drive) using <a href="http://www.top-password.com/download/ISO2DiscSetup.exe" style="text-decoration: underline;">ISO2Disc</a> program.<br />
<br />
<strong>Step 2:</strong> Insert the CD into the computer that you're
trying to gain admin access to and boot from it. You may have to change
the computer’s boot order in the BIOS in order to boot from the CD.<br />
<br />
<strong>Step 3:</strong> If you boot from the CD successfully, the
computer will load the contents of the CD drive, and eventually start
the PCUnlocker program. This program automatically detects your Windows
installation and displays all Windows user accounts which are stored in
the SAM registry hive.<br />
<br />
<strong>Step 4:</strong> Choose your standard user account and click
on "Reset Password" button. You will get a confirmation dialog like the
one shown below:<br />
<img alt="" class="alignnone" height="488" src="http://www.top-password.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/promote-windows-account.png" width="544" /><br />
<br />
<strong>Step 5:</strong> Click Yes to continue. The program will
remove your current password and promote your standard user account to
administrator immediately.<br />
<br />
<strong>Step 6:</strong> Now everything finish properly and you have
to remove the CD and restart your machine. After logging into your
standard user account, you'll find that your user account has already
been joined into the administrators group. Now you've successfully
gained admin access to your system and you can perform any
administrative tasks on your computer.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06865174630786288666noreply@blogger.com0
