2. With Barts PreInstalled Environment
Bart’s PreInstalled Environment has been a popular method on offline troubleshooting for Windows System Administrators for some time now whether it be for disk recovery, malware removal or in this instance, password removal. It’s a bootable operating system, just like the Ubuntu Live CD, but with more of a Windows-like feel.
Below are the instructions for using a small EXE file called Password Renew within the PE environment.
(XP CD Required – If your Windows drive is SATA, you may need to follow additional instructions on the PEBuilder site)
1. Go Bart’s website and download the ISO for the PreInstalled Environment.
2. Download Password Renew .
3. Open PEBuilder and for the Windows directory, select the location of the i386 directory on your XP disk. Under the custom directory, select the directory that holds the PasswordRenew.exe file. Select a title for your CD and finally create a name for your ISO file. I’d recommend creating an ISO over burning directly to the CD, because of problems that may arise.
4. Browse to the A43 File Management Utility.
5. Once there, you should browse your CD drive and find your custom directory created in step three.
6. Open Password Renew.
7. This program is very straight forward. Simply press ‘Select Target’ and browse to your Windows directory.
8. Once there, you can will see options to reset a password, create a new administrator or convert a current user to an administrator.
9. You will then have the option to install there after.
10. Reboot, and changes will beapplied.
3. With Offline NT Password Disk (Google Cache)
Offline NT Password Disk is a very simple and very fast command line Linux tool to reset your forgotten Windows administrator password. At the time of this writing the site was down, hence the Google Cache link.
1. Download the bootable CD image .
2. Burn the ISO to a CD with oneof the ISO burning applications,as we stated before.
3. Boot up your PC with the bootable CD.
4. Drivers for both SATA and IDEdrivers typically load automatically.
5. Select the location of your Windows Operating System.
6. Select windows/system32/config as your directory.
7. Select “Password Reset” as your option.
8. I would recommend to reset as a ‘blank password’. This works best.
9. Once blanked, press ‘q’ to quit and write the values to theregistry.
As you can see, the dread of forgetting your Windows administrator password can typically be put behind you. These are just a few of the options to reset that hard to remember nemesis, but they are a few of the simplest.
