Rosco,
Managed to reset a Windows Vista Password using this method as outlined above, and it was done and dusted in less than 2 minutes. I have spent the last 48 hours researching this topic on the web, and was about to spend 35 dollars on a dedicated software solution, when – totally by chance – I came across this article.

Anyway, I hope that you are well and I owe you pints next time you are in town.

Hi Constance,
What does it display at step 7 where it you see the message “Candidate Windows Partitions found:?”
Please tell me any further messages displayed after you enter 1 or 2.

Regards

I am trying to get the password of a vista home basic acer computer for the estate of a deceased person. When running the software, it cannot load partition (error mounting drive) but loads partition 2. It then prompts for the path windows/system32/config and keeps redisplaying this prompt when I press enter. Please help.

Hi Karlo, so when you type 1 and press enter does it ask you the same question again?

This is the best. i had a vista machine that I bought from dell that was giving me problems with the screen and the harddrive had crashed so I restored the vista installation and created a new admin password. I then bought another notebook and had not used the old one for a while and forgot the admin password.
used this tool to get rid of the old password.
For some reason the instructions to change the password did not work, So I just pick the option to make the admin password blank and that worked and the system log me right it.
Thanks for the get work.

If so, you should try the following solution which is very effective:

Whe i get to this section

“You will now be asked for the path to the registry. Unless you are an advanced user who knows differently, select the default path by simply hitting Enter”

and i hit enter (as default) its asks me the same question again -what is the patch to the registry directory?

Any ideas whats wrong?

Hey Rajesh…Did you get any error messages or did the procedure go as described? Make sure Windows is cleanly shut down before trying it i.e. boot to the login screen and then choose to shutdown and let Windows shutdown properly. Then try. Also make sure you actually set a new password instead of setting a blank password.

Tried the same procedure and cleared the password of the machine as mentioned in the procedure for windows vista home premium application. But the software did not work and my windows asks for the password eventhough we have cleared the same using the procedure as described.
