These 2 days I’ve talked about “How to Hack Into a Windows XP Computer Without Changing Password” and “How to Recover Windows Login password within minutes“. Today I will be covering another method on how to get in Windows without knowing any Windows account password which is resetting Windows account password. It does not reveal current password, nor bypass the login screen with any passwords. This method removes the current Windows account password so you can login without entering any password.
Reset Windows Administrator password

The tool that I will be using to reset Windows account password is Windows Key by LostPassword.

Windows Key is designed as a tool for administrators, not for “crackers”. The product has no bearing on Windows security rating, because it requires physical access to the machine. In any computer system, true security from break-ins is achievable only by isolating the machine from distrusted individuals.

Feature of Windows Key:

  • 100% recovery rate
  • Resets passwords directly from a bootable USB Drive, no floppy or CD-ROM drive required
  • Resets password for any account
  • Resets local policy settings for any account
  • Displays the detailed information about local user accounts
  • Windows XP Tablet PC Edition is supported
  • Windows Server 2003 is supported
  • Windows Server 2003 R2 is supported
  • Windows XP Home and Professional Editions are supported
  • Windows 2000 Professional, Server and Advanced Server are supported
  • Windows NT Workstation and Server 4.0 are supported
  • Resets Domain Administrator password for Active Directory Domain Controllers (Enterprise Edition only)
  • All secure boot options are supported
  • All Service Packs are supported

The only downside of this tool is it is NOT a freeware. You need to purchase at the price of US$195.00 to reset windows local account password. If you want to reset domain administrator password for active directory domain controllers, you need to purchase the enterprise edition at the price of US$295.00 or US$495.00 for the whole kit that contains over 25 password recovery modules.

If you’ve followed all my 3 articles on hacking into windows without knowing the user account password, you will start to think on how to protect yourself. Just go to your CMOS/BIOS and configure your hard disk to boot first. Then set a password for your CMOS. This way, the hacker won’t be able to use any of his hacked BootCDs to reset your CMOS password or your Windows account password. However, do take note that the hacker can still reset your CMOS by jumping a jumper or taking out the battery on your motherboard.
