Hi welcome to my guide for clearing forgotten Windows Xp passwords,
Well, i'm sure you've forgotten your password once before on your old xp OS, Back then you could just boot in safemode and change your password but Vista is a differant story.
Vista prides itself on being Secure, and this makes it harder to recover a forgotten user password.
But don't fear if you or a friend have forgotten their password, i'll guide you through fixing that in this guide!
What you will need:
1. Basic computer knowledge
2. A cd/dvd drive that enables you to burn an .iso file to a blank cd
3. A blank cd
Step 1.
Go here and download this file:
http://home.eunet.no/pnordahl/ntpasswd/cd080802.zip
After you've downloaded that, extract it then burn the .iso file to the blank disc using burning software such as Nero etc.
Now insert the cd and when you turn on your computer look for a a page that looks like this.
We need to go to the boot order, so in thase case i would hit f12
But it's differant for other pc's So Hold down whatever button you see on your boot screen.
You can also hit [ ] button to enter BIOS wich will look like this
Ok once you've navigated to the boot sequence menu, Put your cd/dvd drive to #1
Congratulations, you successfully Changed your computers boot sequence!
Now Reboot with the cd in the drive,and the shell file will come up,
Just follow the prompts. (It's CASE SENSITIVE)
Exit, then SAVE, and you're done! Go back change your boot order and the password will be cleared.
All credits go to Winfield1337 and the man who created Ntspassword registry editor.
