How to Hack Windows Administrator Passwordj

 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 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
    Will detect and offer to 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 windowssystem32config. This file is a part of

Windows registry and remains inaccessible as long as the OS is active. Hence it is necessary that you need to boot

off your computer and access this sam file via boot. This tool intelligently gains access to this file and will

reset/remove the password associated with administrator or any other account.

The download link for both CD and floppy drives along with the complete instructions is given below

It is recommended that you download the CD version of the tool since floppy drive is outdated and doesn’t exist in

today’s computer. Once you download you’ll get a bootable image which you need to burn it onto your 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.

1. Open the command prompt (Start->Run->type cmd->Enter)

2. Now type net user and hit Enter

3. 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 John, then do as follows

4. Type net user John * 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 John 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. I hope this helps.
