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.
