Reset Windows XP, Vista, 7 Password Using USB Drive or CD
A lot of methods are available to recover or reset the Windows password. The famous Ophcrack is used for recovering the password. Even i have posted about using Ophcrack. But the problem is that its bulky in size. We need to download a file of size 500MB to recover the password. So I thought why to recover a lost password, instead why cant we simply reset or delete the password using a 3 MB file open source program. That is what this post is about. I have not found any other method simpler than this one, it resets your password in the blink of an eye.
The method uses an open source program called Offline NT Password & Registry Editor. We can use a USB Disk Drive (Pen Drive) or burn a bootable CD for this method.
Follow the Steps below:
Step 1: Download the cd080802.zip file from the link below and extract it. It contains an ISO file.
Size: 3.15 MB
http://pogostick.net/~pnh/ntpasswd/cd080802.zip (Updated Working Link 13-01-10)
Step 2: Burn the ISO file to a CD. If you are using a USB drive, then mount the cd080802.iso file to a virtual drive. Open the Virtual Drive and Copy all the contents to your USB disk. If any error comes while copying just skip the file. Now to make the USB Drive Bootable open a Command Prompt(Press Start + R, Type cmd and enter) and type the following commands:
Sl. No. |
Command: |
Action: |
1 |
j: |
Enter |
2 |
syslinux.exe –ma j: |
Enter |
Here j is my drive letter, you should enter your own drive letter.
Step 3: Now start the System which you want to reset the password by putting the CD or the USB in the Computer. While start up you have to make sure that it boots up from the correct device i.e. from the CD or the USB. In order to do this go to your BIOS settings and change the boot order as CD or the USB drive as the first option. Or if you know the Boot menu key then press it and Boot from the correct device.
Note: Step 4 to Step 8 takes a very less amount of time. No need to worry!
Step 4: After booting from the CD or the USB, press enter to continue the boot process. In the first step it will automatically select the disk where your windows is installed. Simply press enter to continue. In the Second Step it Will select the path and registry files. Select 1 for password reset (It will select 1 by default, just enter).
Step 5: Now after selecting the paths, It will ask “What to do?” Simply press enter as it will automatically select 1 for Edit User Password.
Step 6: It will show a list your system usernames and their password status. Now enter the username whose password you want to reset. It is case sensitive so, be careful and type what you see in the users list. (If the user is Administrator just press enter as it has already selected Administrator by default otherwise enter the correct username)
Step 7: It will show you User Edit Menu. Select 1 to clear the user password.
Step 8: It will clear the password. Now Enter “!” to quit from the User select menu. It will again ask “What to do?”. enter “q” to quit. Now in step four it will ask you to write the files or not. Enter “y” to write the files. It will write the files back. Now Simply press enter when it asks for “New run?” as it has selected no by default. The password reset has been successfully completed. Press the power button.
Now start the computer and you will find that it is not asking for password for the user you had selected. That’s it, you are done.
Important:
1. This method will remove your password not recover. If you do not want to reset the password, you can recover it. Visit: http://techrena.blogspot.com/2009/03/windows-password-recoverycrack-windows.html for password recovery.
2. The method has been tested for windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7 and all resulted in success.
3. This is for information purposes only. We are not responsible for any damages or illegal acts resulting from this information.
4. The information provided here should be used for legal purposes only.
5. USB Disk method will not work if your motherboard or BIOS does not support USB booting.

Install Windows 7 or Vista Using Bootable USB Disk Drive

This worked like a charm on windows 7 latest beta build, users please note to [!] after done clearing password and making sure the changes are saved to disk otherwise this WILL NOT work, I made this mistake first time around. Thanks to the author for this once again.
On a side note, I first attempted to use ophcrack windows vista boot disk but that didnt seem to work on 7, just an FYI for those who are not sure (ended up wasting a cd for this and one for this boot disc afterwards)
Regards.

Hello! First off I’d like to say this is a FINE piece of coding.
However I am having some problems helping a friend get her computer back from one of her stupid friends that changed her account to guest and the admin account is locked to her friend alone. When we try to use the USB drive, it will either boot into Windows, or say “Missing Operating System” and freeze. How do we get past this?
November 17th, 2009 at 12:25 pm
here is the methods I know.
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.
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 resetwindowspassword.com

Just wanted to clear up any confusion for people who find it from here on out; The link in this article for the Offline NT & Password Registry Editor is expired.the bootdisk’s page has changed to another location. The new link for the file is http://pogostick.net/~pnh/ntpasswd/cd080802.zip Hope this helps anyone who finds this from here on out.

March 9th, 2010 at 9:23 pm
Succeeded in getting blank for administrator and user but on rebooting the computer administrator appeared (was never there) as well as user – nothing happens when I click either. Have I missed something.
Password just stopped working – 100% sure correct – from one shut down to another. Issues just before with second monitor flickering. Drivers are a nightmare.
Any suggestions would be most welcomed
OS is windows 7 ultimate 64 bit RC
Many thanks

Awesome. I was tired of looking to crack my password on Windows 7. Best tutorial and best Hack there is.
March 30th, 2010 at 10:25 pm
heya! thanks a lot! the routine is as simple as it gets and it does work! it did reset the password on my windows 7 ultimate installation, which is impossible according to the info on microsoft.com…
heh, i used to think my data is reasonably safe being locked behind a windows user password…now i don’t
thank you once again!
March 31st, 2010 at 4:21 pm
Well I managed to get through all this and clear the password, but now I’m just stuck in the load up login menu, and just says user profile not recognised, although at least it’s not asking me for a password now, anyone able to help
April 3rd, 2010 at 1:48 am
Thanks for the write-up! I had an Acer netbook with no cd drive. Ophcrack wasn’t doing it, then I found this. If you are having problems, make sure you pay attention to the default commands. They are def. good, but if you have more than 1 partition you have to catch that part, haha. Thanks again!
April 3rd, 2010 at 12:01 pm
Hi, looks really useful but can you explain this step better?
How do you mount to a USB please?
And when comand prompting are you addidng additional lines of code?
Step 2: Burn the ISO file to a CD. If you are using a USB drive, then mount the cd080802.iso file to a virtual drive. Open the Virtual Drive and Copy all the contents to your USB disk. If any error comes while copying just skip the file. Now to make the USB Drive Bootable open a Command Prompt(Press Start + R, Type cmd and enter) and type the following commands:
April 3rd, 2010 at 12:03 pm
PS: Ophcrack couldn’t find my administrator p/word so this appears to be my last chance, am totally locked out of machine without knowledge of Admin password, any additional suggestions would be amazing.
Thanx
April 3rd, 2010 at 12:46 pm
@IDOLS: Its very easy to mount an iso file to a virtual drive. You can use any virtual drive software like Virtual clone to mount the iso file. No there is no need of any additional command lines in cmd prompt.
April 8th, 2010 at 12:43 pm
hi guys, it says “syslinux.exe” isnt a recognisable batch file

April 8th, 2010 at 1:36 pm

April 25th, 2010 at 2:33 am
anyone figure out how to work around step two just asking “what is the path to the registry directory?” It doesn’t matter what i type it just askes the same thing: what is the path to the registry directory? (relative to windows disk) [windows/system32/config] :
I’m using windows 7

April 28th, 2010 at 5:10 am
I tried to reset the user password with admin account from my friends laptop but it cannot detect the sam registry folder for windows 7 professional. What should I do???
May 3rd, 2010 at 2:29 am
The password remover worked great on my win 7 system. I put a password on my laptop before going on a trip and could not remember it. So I reloaded win 7 and have 2 os’s now. I just selected the partition it was on and it cleared the password just fine. Now I need to know how to remove the second win7??
Thanks a LOT!!
May 5th, 2010 at 7:46 pm
THANKS A LOT. It worked fine…
May 9th, 2010 at 11:51 pm
Windows Vista is good but it can hog your CPU and Memory.”-,
May 13th, 2010 at 5:20 am
When this message appears “what is the path to the registry directory?” PRESS ENTER.
IF the message repeats itself no matter what path you type – >RESET – AND SELECT the CORRECT partition where is the Windows directory. On a regular Windows Vista/7 system Windows OS is NOT installed on the first partition (about 100MB bootable). You have to select the right number for partition, e.g. [2].
May 15th, 2010 at 5:55 am
You are a genius and a life saver. Just an extra bit, when performing this on a laptop with pre loaded softwae, it can be the second drive. Fantastic ,Thanks.
May 22nd, 2010 at 9:07 am

June 14th, 2010 at 10:37 am
I’m running in to the same problem that a few of the previous posters have mentioned, where I’m getting stuck at step Two, asking me to name the path for the registry. The OS im running is Vista Home. Here’s what I receive for options as I go through the program:
Step One:
Candidate Windows partitions found:
1: /dev/sda2 71448mb BOOT
2: /dev/sda3 67865mb
When I choose 1, or just press “enter”, (One appears to be pre-selected), I recieve the message:
Mounting from /dev/sda2, with assumed filesystem type FAT/VFAT/FAT32 and similiar
Trying to mount FAT / VFAT / FAT32 ect
mount: mounting /devsda2 on /disk failed: Invalud arguement
ERROR: Mount Failed! Try select again or another?
When I select 2, it proceeds as the walkthough shows, and is successful. It then proceeds to step 2, where I run into my problem. I receive the following:
Step TWO: Select PATH and registry files
What is the path to the registry directory? (relative to windows disk)
[windows/system32/config] :
The walkthough says I should only have to hit “enter” at this point, and it should proceed, but no matter what I type, the default path it lists, or any possible variation I can find on it, it just seems to loop back to the same message prompt, and I am unable to proceed to step 3 of the password reset.
Any advice or help would be Greatly appreciated! I’ll check back here or please feel free to email me at seadragoniii@gmail.com
Thanks in advance!

Again, thank you!! You’re great.

If you could use another computer which could download from Internet, you can create a windows password recovery disk. Third party software windows login recovery could create such a disk. Only four steps:
Step 1: Download Windows Login Recovery and install it on the available computer
Step 2: Run the software and use it to burn a Windows password recovery disk (you could burn the file into the blank CD/DVD or USB flash drive)
Step 3: Change the BIOS setting of your locked computer to make it boot from the CD-ROM
Step 4: Boot your locked computer from the created disk and remove the Windows password

The author of the tool is named P. Nordahl, he is not accepting any donations.
Also, there is a good FAQ where the tool is downloaded, RTFM people.

Hi, I just HAD TO SAY THANK YOU SO MUCH!!
I had done something so dumb, I chose a password and it made me type it 2 times. I wrote this password down and for at least 2 hours I was going insane trying to figure out my password for windows 7 login, and or how to fix it because it would not accept my password.
After many sites and things I needed to pay for, I stumbled upon this beautiful fix. It worked and I am so happy now, I love you whoever created it and all that.
It took a few tries at first but I followed your steps and it worked exactly right. Thank you again so much. To anyone who says this does not work, well it does, just follow the steps that are explained very nicely.
I admit though, if it were anymore harder or not as well explained as it was here I may not have been able to do it!

Windows Password Reset Kit 1.5 can help in such a situation. It is small yet very effective. It saved me before, and I must say it works perfect. Give it a try, you won’t regret using it.
