Question 2:

How do I recover a lost password for Windows Vista?

I forgot my password and the administrator was the only account on the computer. I built it online and it came pre-loaded with Vista 64-bit Home Premium so I don’t have the boot disk. I’ve tried the safe mode thing and I’ve tried orpcrack, but I still can’t get onto my computer!

Answers (Just for your refference)

Most of us are usually confronted with this problem-forget our Windows password and have no idea what to do. Now,let’s get acquainted with this issue.

1st Method:

The first thing which you check if you forget login password. When we install Windows, it automatically creates an account “Administrator” and sets its password to blank. So if you have forget your user account password then try this:

Start system and when you see Windows Welcome screen / Login screen, press <ctrl>+<alt>+<del> keys twice and it’ll show Classic Login box. Now type “Administrator” (without quotes) in Username and leave Password field blank. Now press Enter and you should be able to log in Windows.

Now you can reset your account password from “Control Panel -> User Accounts”.

Same thing can be done using Safe Mode. In Safe Mode Windows will show this in-built Administrator account in Login screen.

2nd Method:

Windows XP and further versions also provide another method to recover forgotten password by using “Reset Disk”. If you created a Password Reset Disk in past, you can use that disk to reset the password. To know more about it, please visit following links:

3rd Method:

If the above mentioned tricks don’t work, then try following trick which is actually a loophole in Windows XP Setup and a big security hole:

A. Boot using Windows XP Setup CD and follow the instruction like Accepting EULA, etc.

B. When it asks to repair your existing Windows installation, accept it and press “R” to run the repair.

C. Setup will start repairing your Windows and will start copying files, etc.

D. After a few minutes setup will restart your system and when it restarts don’t press any key when it shows “Press any key to continue…” otherwise Setup will start from the beginning. Don’t press any key and setup will resume where it left.

E. Now it’ll start doing other tasks and will show a small progressbar with a few details in left side.

F. Look carefully at the details and when it shows “Installing devices”, press <Shift>+F10 keys in your keyboard.

G. It’ll open a Command Prompt window. Now type nusrmgr.cpl and press <Enter>.

H. It’ll open the same “User Accounts” window which you see in Control Panel.

I. Now you can remove or reset any account password without any problem.

Many of us are usually confronted with this problem-forget our Windows password and have no idea what to do.Now,let’s get acquainted with this issue.

1. Log in to Safe Mode and enter the PC with the built-in administrator account

When you installed Windows XP you had to set a password for the administrator account. You will need this password to log on. To boot up in Safe Mode, you have to press F8 when your computer starts. Read the Microsoft Knowledge Base article for more information about the Safe Mode. Note that this method doesn’t work in Vista and Windows 7 because the administrator account is also disabled in Safe Mode. Below you will learn how to enable the built-in admin account in Windows 7 and Vista.

2. Use your password reset disk to recover the Windows password

Vista and Windows 7 allow you to create a password reset disk which enables you to reset your password without much hassle. The problem with this option is that you have to create the reset disk before the password is lost. You can find a description of how to create a password reset disk here.

3. Reseting Windows password from the command prompt

In the command prompt you can monitor all the user of the computer by typing some commands.Press Win Key+R and type “cmd” in the Run command box and hit enter to open command prompt.Type “net user” in the command prompt and hit “Enter“. This will show all the users of the computer.Now suppose that you want to change the password of the user “abc“.So type the following command and hit enter.

net user [username] .For instance in this example the user name is abc. So the command should be net user abc

Now in the command prompt you will be prompted to enter a password for the user. Note that the format is not available here. Put your password and hit “Enter“. You have to retype the password again for confirmation

4. Use freeware Ophcrack to reset the Windows password

It is an open-source password cracker. The technology it uses to break Windows passwords is called “rainbow tables” and was described by Philippe Oechslin in Making a Faster Cryptanalytic Time-Memory Trade-Off. A rough way to describe this technique is to say that tables of possible hashes are precomputed so that you can iteratively compare the windows hashes to precomputed bits and piece together the hash and its value more quickly than brute-force guessing.

5. Get a commercial password reset tool

There are many commercial tools that allow you to reset the Windows administrator password

if you have forgotten it. Technically, they do the same as the free tools. Some of them might be easier to use or come with better instructions.
