Two of the best ways to login to Windows if you’ve forgotten the password is by reseting the password or replacing sfcfiles.dll with a cracked one to allow login with any password. However, a lot of anti-virus detects the cracked sfcfiles.dll as a hacktool and it prevents the DLL file from loading making it unusable.

The best and highly successful way to login to Windows if you’ve forgotten the password is by resetting the password. All you need to do is put in a BootCD, boot up with it and follow the simple instructions to reset any user’s password. No bruteforce cracking, modifying of cracked DLL files….

Today I found a software that’s better and more powerful than Windows Key included in Passware Kit Enterprise.


Active@ Password Changer is designed for resetting local administrator and user passwords on Windows XP / VISTA / 2003 / 2000 / NT systems in case an Administrator’s password is forgotten or lost. You do not need to re-install and re-configure the operating system.

Forgotten password recovery software has a simple user interface, supports multiple hard disk drives, detects several SAM databases (if multiple OS were installed on one volume) and provides the opportunity to pick the right SAM before starting the password recovery process. It displays a list of all local users. The software user simply chooses the local user from the list to reset the password.

This is the part which makes Active@ Password Changer better than Windows Key. Other Windows login security restrictions like ‘Account is disabled‘, ‘Password never expires‘, ‘Account is locked out‘, ‘User Must Change Password at Next Logon‘ and ‘Logon Hours‘ can be changed or reset.

You’ll be surprised that this feature is included in the DOS version!

Windows Key only works in DOS but Active@ Password Changer has program for Windows and DOS. Surprisingly, Active@ Password Changer only cost USD59.99 while Windows Key cost US195.00 for the Professional version and USD295.00 for the enterprise version. Obviously you’ll purchase Active@ Password Changer if given a choice as it’s cheaper and better.

Free Demo version allows you to detect the correct Windows SAM database, view the user list and specific user attributes. Professional version allows the user to actually reset passwords and attributes.

P/S: The retail version of Active@ Password Changer Pro v3.5 build 0067 has already been leaked out. But very sorry, I am unable to provide the links. Please do NOT ask or request for it here. Use your friendly Google ;)
