Change Windows XP/7/8 Password If Your Forgot?

If you forgot windows password, don't be worried. I am going to tell you latest technique to change the windows XP/7/8 password, without recovery. It is the big trouble for one, when he/she forgot windows password.

Necessary Things- 1. Windows XP/Vista/7/8 Installation Bootable CD/DVD.
If above things have with you, it is possible to create new password with administrator rights on any XP/Vista/Windows7 computer as follows:
  1. Boot to Windows PE or your Recovery DVD or Install DVD and cancel any 'repair' options - you need to get to the command prompt (there should eventually be a menu option for this)


    Run the Command Prompt menu option


  2. Type the following command in the black console window: 
    copy c:\windows\system32\sethc.exe c:\  (where c: is the drive letter where your OS is installed)
  3. Now type the following command:
    copy /y c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe c:\windows\system32/sethc.exe
  4. Switch off and on again to reboot your computer - press F8 and choose 'Boot as Normal' do NOT choose the 'Repair' option if it is offered.
  5. Allow the computer to boot to Windows as normal and when you see the log-on screen, press the Shift key five times.
  6. You should see a command prompt window. Type:  net user test pwd  to create a new user account called 'test' with a password of 'pwd'
  7. Now you can use your new 'test' account and password to log in. Don’t forget to restore the Sticky Keys application afterwards using:
    copy /y c:\sethc.exe c:\windows\system32\sethc.exe
    (you will need to enter this command from an Administrator console window - Start Menu - All Programs - Accessories - Command Prompt - (right-click) - Run as Administrator).
Enjoy!
