How to Reset Administrator Password in Windows

All of us who use MICROSOFT'S operating system, must be know about windows's administrator account. Using this account, a computer can be completely controlled. So for security reasons, we strengthen this accounts's password. And also change the password in a specific time.

This way the password is strong and after a few consecutive changes we forget the password many times. As a results, we can no get access to our computer. For which, we need to reset the password. If we have already created a password reset disk for this account, then we can easily reset our password. And if this disk is not already created, then we need to take the help of any other third party software. There is no other option left to reset the password.

Now, we will discuss about a software called "Offline Windows Password & Registry Editor". We can download this software as an ISO and it is bootable, that means you can run the computer using this software. This is a complete command based platform. How can we reset the administrator password using this software, as shown below through the screenshot.

First we will download the ISO file from the following link.

We can also write the ISO file to CD and boot from it. After booting, we will get the following interface.

In the hardisk, whether windows is installed, the software will check it at this stage. If it get any windows after checking, then it will show it in the list. If we have more than one windows installed, then this list will show that too.

We will notice that, there is an unique number on the left side of every entry in the list.

We will select our windows by using this unique number for password reset. Just based on this example, type 1 (one) and then press "Enter".

Now the option to load the registry will come.

Since we will reset the password, we will now type 1 (one) and press "Enter".  Because the unique number for password reset is 1(one).

Now "Main Interactive Menu" will be appeared. From here, we will also type 1, because we will change the user password.

Now the user selection option will come, that means for which user we will reset the password.

Now we will type the "RID" number for that user, in our case "Administrator". After typing the RID number than press "Enter".

Now "User Edit Menu" will come. From here, type 1 for clear password and then press "Enter".

If there is no other problem, now we will get confirmation of password clear.

Everything is done. Now press (ctrl+alt+delete) from keyboard for restart you system.
