Windows Password Unlocker is a Windows software for recovering lost or forgotten administrator credentials. Users can make a restoration optical disc or USB drive.

Supported systems

This program is intended for restoring access to Windows XP, Vista and 7. There are other tools such as Active Password Changer for managing user credentials in more modern versions.

SATA, SCSI, RAID and IDE hard drives are fully supported. You are able to work with the FAT16, FAT32 and NTFS file systems.

Instructions

After starting the utility users can select the optical drive for burning a bootable disc. Alternatively, it is possible to choose the target USB storage device.

The next step is setting the computer to boot from an external source. This option is located in the BIOS menu. After restarting the system you will get access to all existing user accounts. The Reset button replaces the current password with a blank.

Finally, users can reboot to Windows and log in to the unlocked account for recovering all personal documents, photos and other data.

It is important to note that Windows Password Unlocker is a paid utility. The free trial version does not allow you to create bootable USB drives.
