Retrieve Windows admin password

Offline NT Password & Registry Editor

This is a utility to reset the password of any user that has a valid local account on your Windows system.
Supports all Windows from NT3.5 to Win7, also 64 bit and also the Server versions (like 2003 and 2008)
You do not need to know the old password to set a new one.
It works offline, that is, you have to shutdown your computer and boot off a CD or USB disk to do the password reset.

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 to make an bootable USB drive

Copy all the files that is inside the usbXXXXXX.zip or on the CD onto an usb drive, directly on the drive, not inside any directory/folder.

It is OK if there are other files on the USB drive from before, they will not be removed.

Install bootloader on the USB drive, from command prompt in windows (start the command line with "run as administrator" if possible)

• X:syslinux.exe -ma X:

Replace X: with the drive letter the USB drive shows up as (DO NOT USE C:)

If it seems like nothing happened, it is usually done.

However, a file named ldlinux.sys may appear on the USB drive, that is normal.

It should now in theory be bootable.

Please know that getting some computers to boot from USB is worse than from CD, you may have to change settings, or some will not simply work at all.
