How to Hack Windows Administrator Password
You can do this with a small tool called Offline NT
Password & Registry Editor. This utility works offline,
that means you need to shut down your computer and
boot off your using a floppy disk, CD or USB device (such
as pen drive).
The tool has the following features:
You do not need to know the old password to set a new
one.
This tool can detect and unlock locked or disabled out
user accounts!
There is also a registry editor and other registry utilities
that works under linux/unix, and can be used for other
things than password editing.
How it Works?
Most Windows operating systems stores the login
passwords and other encrypted passwords in a file called
sam (Security Accounts Manager). This file can be usually
found in \windows\system32\config. This file is a part of
Windows registry and remains inaccessible as long as the
OS is active. Hence, it is necessary that you boot off
your
computer and access this sam file via the boot menu.
This tool intelligently gains access to this file and will
reset/remove the password associated with
administrator
or any other account.
The download link for both CD and floppy drives along
with the complete instructions is given below:

It is recommended that you download the CD version of
the tool since the floppy drive is outdated or doesn’t
exist in today’s computer. After the download, you’ll
get
a bootable image which you need to burn it onto a blank
CD. Now, boot your computer from this CD and follow
the screen instructions to reset the password.
Another Simple Way to Reset Non-Administrator Account
Passwords:
Here is another simple way through which you can reset
the password of any non-administrator accounts. The
only requirement for this is that you need to have
administrator privileges. Here is a step-by-step
instruction to accomplish this task:
Open the command prompt (Start -> Run -> type cmd ->
Enter)
Now type net user and hit Enter
Now the system will show you a list of user accounts on
the computer. Say for example, you need to reset the
password of the account by name John, then do as
follows:
Type net user John * and hit Enter. Now, the system will
ask you to enter the new password for the account.
That’s it. Now you’ve successfully reset the password for
John without knowing his old password.
So, in this way you can reset the password of any
Windows account at times when you forget it so that you
need not re-install your OS for any reason. I hope this
helps
