Forgot Windows Administrator password????
And what if Offline password reset utility also does not work/start....A nightmare
Follow the below given steps and you will login with a New Administrator Password.
1. Boot System with Windows 2008 ISO
2. Go to "Repair your Computer"
3. Open "Command Prompt"
4. Backup C:\windows\system32\sethc.exe (Sticky key app) by cmd "copy c:\windows\system32\sethc.exe c:\"
5. Now,replace "sethc.exe" with "cmd.exe" with "copy c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe c:\windows\system32\sethc.exe"
Now,boot your system with Local Disk.
On Logon prompt,strike SHIFT key to 5-6 times,this will open up the Command Prompt.
Execute "net user username newpassword"
Here you should get reply "Command executed successfully"
Voila...!!!!!
Login with your New password.
Do not forget to replace the Sethc.exe with the Backup one.
