Utilities for removing the password for windows 7. An easy way to reset your account password for any version of Windows! How to reset a forgotten password using Ophcrack

Today we will consider a situation that many computer users have already faced and / or may still face. Namely, what to do if you forgot the password for turning on the computer... This can happen to anyone. Forgetting or losing a note with a password can also be done in no time. Especially when you often have to change this password, as some users do (for example, mothers who are trying to limit the time their children spend at the computer).

So, today we will consider one of the ways to effectively solve this problem. There are of course many methods resetting or recovering (or cracking) a forgotten Windows login password or unlock user... Gradually, I will add descriptions and others.

This method is distinguished by its versatility. I.e, this method of resetting a forgotten computer password is suitable for various Windows operating systems : 2000, XP, Vista, 7, Server 2003, Server 2008, etc.

Let's use the utility.

Accordingly, in the first case, we write the image file to disk (we read how to write the iso-image to disk), in the second, we create a bootable USB flash drive (in this case, we simply copy all the files of their archive to a clean flash drive). Choose which option is more convenient for you.

After this is done, we insert our disk or flash drive into the computer (we need to boot from one of these media) and turn it on. If your operating system starts anyway and asks to enter a forgotten password, it means that you will have to do some magic to run the utility from a disk / flash drive. We read how to boot from external media.

If such a picture appears on the screen, it means that everything was done correctly, and you managed to load the Offline NT Password and Registry editor from the disk / flash drive.

Push Enter and we are waiting. Now the program prompts us to select the partition on which the operating system is installed (in other words, where we will reset the password). The disc is selected by entering the desired number. The screen tells us how many sections the program currently sees, and what volumes they have. Actually, this is the only information available to us here about sections, so we can only focus on it. But do not worry if you select the wrong partition by mistake, the utility simply will not be able to erase the password, and you will return to this menu, where you can enter a different partition number and try again.

In my case, two sections are displayed: 1 - 10.7 GB, 2 - 5490 MB. If you remember how much your Local drive C , then choose a section with a similar size. I select section 1. Enter a number from the keyboard 1 and click Enter .

Next, you need to specify the directory where the file is located SAM (storing the registry branch). The program itself offers us a default directory ( Windows / System32 / config ), where this file is usually located. We agree, click Enter .

Next, we are asked to choose what action we want to perform. Enter the number 1 which corresponds to reset password (Password reset ), and press Enter .

The next step is also to choose the desired action. Enter the number 1 - change accounts and passwords (Edit user data and passwords ). Push Enter .

A tablet appears in front of us, where all usernames and them identifiers (RID) ... The program prompts you to enter a username from the list for which you need to reset the password. The program immediately offered me Admin - it is on this account that I want to erase the password. So I just click Enter .

Retreat. Of course, you can enter a different username, but it’s better, perhaps, to unlock the administrator account, and only then from it change the passwords for everyone who needs it.

If your username is written in Russian, then normally it will not be reflected because of the Cyrillic alphabet. In this case, instead of the username, we indicate it RID in the following form: 0xRID ... That is, in my case: 0x01f4 ... We press Enter .

Now the program offers us the following options for the selected account: 1 - clear the password, 2 - change the password, 3 - make the user an administrator, 4 - unlock the account, q - exit and return to choosing an account. Introduce 1 and press Enter .

Password deleted! The deed is done, it remains to exit the application. Introduce exclamation mark and click Enter .

Introduce q and click Enter .

We confirm the changes. Introduce y and press Enter .

We refuse to continue working in Offline NT Password and Registry editor and introduce n , then click Enter .

We remove the disk from the wire or the USB flash drive from the usb socket, restart the computer and enjoy the result. Windows password has been reset!

Naturally, the article is intended to help those who really forgot password and would have had no other choice but to reinstall the system. In no case given information can not use for any sabotage purposes.

Unlike Windows 10, where you can reset your account ID over the Internet, Windows 7 only has local accounts that are not tied to the Internet. In this article, we will describe the methods of how to reset the password on Windows 7. Standard password reset methods require the use of pre-recorded reset data on a floppy disk or USB flash drive, we will not consider them, since almost no one makes a password backup. Unlike most articles where you need to perform actions with the registry or enter long commands in the command line, we will describe it in simpler and easier ways. These methods are suitable for any computer and will also be relevant on a laptop (preferably with Secure Boot disabled).

How to reset the password of a user account on a Windows 7 computer if you have access to the system

Option 1, for example, you have 2 accounts with administrator rights on your computer, you have lost access to one of them. The main feature is the Administrator's rights on the account with which the recovery will be performed. If you do not have Administrator rights, go to the next option.

Follow these steps:

• Try to enter your profile with a new password (or without it).

As we can see, there is nothing complicated, but if there is no access to the system, this complicates this situation a little, so we move on to the next option.

How to recover password on Windows 7 computer without access to the system

Option 2, to access the command line, we need to access the system data, but we cannot log on to the system, so we need the Windows installation media (Windows 7, 8 or 10 no difference) Live CD to access the environment recovery.
Previously, there was a way to perform a restore without installation media, but the problem was fixed with system updates. Only a small part of users still have this opportunity, so we will not consider it.

Procedure:

• Boot from the installation media or Live CD
  
  
• Choosing System Restore
  
  
• Opening the Command Prompt
  
• We are greeted by the command line sent to X: \\ Sources - this is the data from the installation media. Type notepad and press Enter to access system data.
• Notepad will open, where you need to click File - Open
  
  
• The Explorer will open, where we need to set the File Type - All Files and go to the system disk, in the case of the example, this is the disk marked with the letter D
  
  
• We go through Windows - System32 and do the following: Find the files cmd (Command line) and osk (On-screen keyboard) and rename them as follows - osk - osk.old and cmd - osk. Thus, we will replace the On-Screen Keyboard with the Command Line, which can be called through the login window.
  
  
• We reboot the computer and get to the login screen. In the lower left corner, click on the Accessibility button and put a tick on the Enter text without keyboard (on-screen keyboard) and click OK.
  
• The Command Prompt window will open.
  
  

• Now we repeat the points from the previous version:

Good day! Today I will tell you how to make a USB flash drive for password reset... It's no secret that your Windows login password can be easily forgotten or lost. What to do in such a situation? That's just for such cases, and you need a USB flash drive to reset Windows password. Below we will consider two options for creating such a USB flash drive, the first is simple, the second is more complicated, but more effective than the first.

First way. Create a password reset flash drive using Windows OS tools.
I will say right away that this method has some disadvantages. It is suitable if you create a USB flash drive in advance, that is, in advance. I also want to note that this method involves resetting the local account password. This suggests that if you are using a Microsoft account, then you can safely skip the first method and go to the second.

So let's get over it. This method will work on Windows 7, 8 and 10.
Let's go to Control Panel - User Accounts,

On the left we find the item "Create a password reset disk" and click on it. If you are using a non-local account, then such an item will be absent.

The Forgotten Password Wizard will open. Now just follow what is written and in just three steps the flash drive will be ready. At the end of the operation, a special file named userkey.psw will be written to your flash drive, which will help you reset the operating system password.

Now there is little to do. It is enough to connect the USB flash drive to the computer and enter the wrong password when entering Windows (since you do not know it, it will not be correct). At the bottom of this field, a button to reset the password will appear, clicking on which will open the password recovery wizard, just follow the instructions. In principle, nothing complicated.

Second way. Using Online NT Password & Registry Editor
I can say that it is quite a powerful tool for resetting passwords and more. I have been using this utility for a long time, and even now it has not lost its relevance. The main thing is to update on time.

The free Online NT Password & Registry Editor can reset the local account password of Windows 2000, Me, XP, Vista, 7, 8, 8.1 and 10. The image of this utility can be easily burned to a disk or a flash drive. Moreover, if you use a Microsoft account, then with the help of Online NT Password & Registry Editor you can bypass protection and gain full access to your PC.

Let's take a look at how to create a bootable USB flash drive to reset system passwords. Let's go to the official website of the Online NT Password & Registry Editor developer http://pogostick.net/~pnh/ntpasswd/bootdisk.html, then go down until we see the Download section. We are interested in the latest release for USB, and it will be necessary to download it. You can burn ISO image for CD.

We downloaded the archive, now we will unzip its contents to a flash drive. The flash drive should preferably be empty. If it is bootable, then format it. I already wrote.
Next, run the command line (Start - enter cmd in the search) and type in the command f: syslinux.exe -ma f:
where f is the letter of the flash drive. You can find out the letter of your flash drive by going to "Computer". If you get an error, then drive in the same command only without the -ma parameter.

If suddenly this method did not work, then you can download the Online NT Password & Registry Editor image for the disk using the WinSetupFromUSB program and write it to a USB flash drive. I wrote how to use this program and.

So our flash drive is ready, so you can start. We connect the USB drive to the computer. Now we need to boot from the flash drive, for this, when you turn on the computer, we will call the Boot menu and select the required drive. Or you can put a boot from a USB flash drive in BIOS.

The initial screen will be displayed, where you will be prompted to select options. As practice shows, you can simply press the Enter button. However, there are situations where you need to use one of the listed commands.

Next, we see a list of partitions on which Windows is installed. You need to indicate the number of such a section at this stage. There are various options here, but a simple user may not use them.

After that, select the unit user data and passwords again. This is the section for editing user and password data,

Next, the program will display us a list of users, where you can see who is the admin and who is just a guest. You can also see a particular user is blocked. Please note that on the left side of the list there is the RID column, which is unique to each user. You need to select the desired user by typing in his RID and pressing Enter,

A fairly common problem is recovering a password that I forgot. I will not write why this is happening, but I wrote about it in articles and. But what if you have a different version of the system? To do this, it will be easier to use a program that works in versions of Windows from 2000 to 8.
