How to Hack Windows Administrator Password
Hack Windows Administrator Password
This hack will show you how to reset Windows administrator password (for Win 2000, XP, Vista and Win 7) at times when you forget it or when you want to gain access to a computer for which you do not know the password.
Most of us have experienced a situation where in we need to
gain access to a computer which is password protected or at times we may
forget the administrator password without which it becomes impossible
to login to the computer. So here is an excellent hack using which you
can reset the password or make the password empty (remove the password)
so that you can gain administrator access to the computer.
You can do this with a small tool called Offline NT Password & Registry Editor. This utility works offline, that means you need to shut down your computer and boot off your using a floppy disk, CD or USB device (such as pen drive). The tool has the following features.

- You do not need to know the old password to set a new one
- Will detect and offer to unlock locked or disabled out user accounts!
- There is also a registry editor and other registry utilities that works under linux/unix, and can be used for other things than password editing.
How it works?
Most Windows operating systems stores the
login passwords and other encrypted passwords in a file called sam
(Security Accounts Manager). This file can be usually found in
\windows\system32\config. This file is a part of Windows registry and
remains inaccessible as long as the OS is active. Hence it is necessary
that you need to boot off your computer and access this sam file via
boot. This tool intelligently gains access to this file and will
reset/remove the password associated with administrator or any other
account.
The download link for both CD and floppy drives along with the complete instructions is given below
It is recommended that you
download the CD version of the tool since floppy drive is outdated and
doesn’t exist in today’s computer. Once you download you’ll get a
bootable image which you need to burn it onto your CD. Now boot your
computer from this CD and follow the screen instructions to reset the
password.
Another simple way to reset non-administrator account passwords
Here is another simple way through which you can
reset the password of any non-administrator accounts. The only
requirement for this is that you need to have administrator privileges.
Here is a step-by-step instruction to accomplish this task.
1. Open the command prompt (Start->Run->type cmd->Enter)
2. Now type net user and hit Enter
3. Now the system will show you a list of user accounts on
the computer. Say for example you need to reset the password of the
account by name John, then do as follows
4. Type net user John * and hit Enter. Now the system
will ask you to enter the new password for the account. That’s it. Now
you’ve successfully reset the password for John without knowing his old
password.
So in this way you can reset the password of any Windows
account at times when you forget it so that you need not re-install your
OS for any reason. I hope this helps.
