Windows Password Reset - How to "Hack" or "Reset" Your Windows Password If You Forgot It

If you've lost or forgotten the password to your Windows computer, there's hardly anything more frustrating. However, the good news is that you can actually get back into your PC without losing any data, by "resetting" the stored password that your system has. This technique used to be only for computer technicians, but has now become popular thanks to the release of several software programs which can fix the issue on your PC.

"Resetting" the Windows password is all about changing the stored information that's on your system to allow you to log in again. The problem is that when you try and login to your PC, Windows is actually checking your inputted password with one that's stored on your hard drive. Every Windows computer stores passwords in the same way - in that they keep a series of stored files & settings on your hard drive with the password inside. This means that if the password you submit to your PC is not the same as the password stored on your hard drive, your computer will just deny you access.

The way to get back into your system, without causing any damage or loss of data, is to use what's known as a "password reset" program to remove the stored password settings on your PC. By removing the stored password data on your system, you will basically remove the various settings that Windows uses to check your inputted password against, tricking it into thinking that there is not password set up on your system. If you want to get access to your PC again, resetting (often called "hacking", or "removing") the Windows password is by far the most un-intrusive & effective way to do it.

You can reset the Windows password of your PC easily by first downloading a password reset program from the Internet onto a PC you have access to (such as this one). This will then install a third-party piece of software onto your system which will basically allow you to create a "bootable CD", which you then need to insert into your locked PC. This bootable CD will load up before Windows, and then remove all the stored password data that's kept on your system before Windows loads up. Because all versions of Windows (including Win7) have the same files & settings for their passwords, this method will basically remove the stored password settings for any system, allowing you to log in again after a quick restart. This will work regardless of what version of Windows you have or what software is installed on your PC.
