How to delete/restore password of windows vista account

A while back my computer's password was corrupted from my little brother pulling the plug out of the outlet, I am unable to use the reset disk to reset the password because I never made one. Up until about a week ago I hadn't used my computer since 2008, But then I downloaded a new version of windows (windows 7) onto a partitioned part of the hard drive (idk if I'm using that word correctly in that sentence ❓ ) I also have no access to an admin account on windows vista. Is there anyway I could delete the password or maybe just reset the whole entire hard drive using Windows 7?
Since you would like to gain administrator access to your computer's system, I will demonstrate how to procure it within this reply:

You will learn how to ethically breach a Windows machine's password, and ensure that this is only ethically used. The Offline NT Password & Registry Editor can delete any password from nearly any installation of Windows almost instantly. No installation in Windows is required making this program an easy alternative to many other password recovery tools. The Offline NT Password & Registry Editor simply deletes passwords instead of displaying them making it fast and easy to use. The Offline NT Password & Registry Editor is completely free to download and use. It can reset Windows 8 passwords (local accounts only, not Microsoft accounts), resets Windows 7, Windows Vista, and Windows XP passwords. The Offline NT Password & Registry Editor will also remove passwords from 64-bit versions of Windows. 😉 👍

 

Pros

◢◤Very fast password cracking tool
◢◤No access to Windows or knowledge of old passwords is needed
◢◤Program is completely free and open source, which means it will likely stay free
◢◤Works with Windows 8 (local passwords only), Windows 7, ◢◤Windows Vista, & Windows XP
◢◤Program's ISO image is much smaller than those of other password recovery tools


◤◢Cons

◢◤Offline NT Password tool is completely text based which is a little inconvenient
◢◤ISO image must be burned to a CD before passwords can be reset


Requirements:
  1. Only use for ethical purposes.

  2. A CD/DVD absolutely blank.

  3. A CD/DVD drive.

  4. A computer.



Perfect, this is the last note before we get crackilacking, IMO this is the greatest password cracker since it has a %100 success rate. Now lets get started using the Windows Offline NT Password & Registry Editor. and penetrate test into your windows machine.

Visit this site to download the compressed .ISO and extract it for burning on to your CD/DVD.


❷ Insert the CD/DVD into your Optical Drive. Extract the file to some place remembered, then right click our .ISO and select the option "Burn to Disc" or you may use your own disc burning utility. Proceed entirely with burning the image on to the disc.

❸ Go to the computer you need access to. Turn the computer on. Open the Optical Drive, insert the CD inside, and close the optical drive; if done fast enough, you can access the boot menu and kick the Linux operating system quickly. If not, restart the computer at the logon screen.
❹ Await for this screen to show itself, then press enter. You will see a series of code.

❻ Press CTRL + ALT + DELETE at the same time to reboot your system (you may have to multiple times if the kernel does not catch the keys your sending till it detects the keystrokes) and you now have access to an Administrator account with no password, or another specified account as deemed optional above.

Joys to all. Enjoy your own access to the new windows machine, I hope this was a nice tutorial and easy to read. Comment if you have any ideas or suggestions on formatting my tutorial. Thank you.

Great post and thanks for all your time into formatting the tutorial. However, I find PCLoginNow to be a lot easier and automated for the general user. It is self explanatory, you just choose the account that you want to remove the password for and click 'ok'. Your machine reboots and you are done.

Here is a link to the website: http://www.pcloginnow.com/

However, if you want to have more settings and control, Offline NT Password and Registry Editor is the better choice for an advanced user.

PS: Offline NT Password and Registry Editor and PCLoginNow do not 'crack' your password, they actually remove it. You made this somewhat unclear in your post.

That's funny, I have always had good experiences with PCLoginNow.

Anyway, I have also used Offline NT Password and Registry editor before; it works flawlessly. The tutorial on about.com was a little hard to navigate through, but you made it easier by posting all the steps on one page. 👍
