google:- trinity rescue kit password reset

Just out of curiosoty, Is it the Bios password or windows password?
Bios password is a bit trickier but I have the software here to generate it from the service tag if you need it.. -
i dont know for sure, there is just her name as user, no other users or admin when i turn the computer on,
the hint question is there but still dont know the password,
would that just be windows password -
Yep, just a windows password m8, can be reset very easily with tools on a boot DVD/CD like Hirens Boot DVD for example..
I have not tried trinity rescue kit but there are a million and one tools to reset windows login passwords, and most of them do it without much hassle.. -
tried the trinity one there,
going fine and there is the option of administrator with no password
and Guest with password,
so i edit the Guest on to give it no password,
but realise when i restart again that the only user available at windows log in is 'mary' and it still is looking for password
any idea's why the 'mary' option was not listed to be opened up,
cheers guys -
try http://ophcrack.sourceforge.net/ it will read the password for you of not konboot can just bypass it and use http://superuser.com/questions…assword-using-net-command to reset it

got it eventually with the trinity rescue kit, thanks for the help guys
