A password reset disk is essentially a USB drive that contains a small file: userkey.psw, which can be used to change your password from Windows logon screen. But the catch is that you have to create a password reset disk while you’re logged in. If you’ve already forgotten your password, it’s too late.

In this tutorial we’ll show you how to bypass Windows 8, 7 and Vista password with a bootable media – PCUnlocker Live CD, which can be created on a spare computer after you forgot Windows password. PCUnlocker can be used to reset the password of any user on any Windows machine, while a password reset disk can only reset the password of the account for which it was created.

If you don’t have a PCUnlocker Live CD, you can create it on any Windows computer that you still have full access to. Download the CD image of PCUnlocker and burn it to a blank CD (or USB thumb drive) with the freeware ISO2Disc.

Put the PCUnlocker Live CD in the CD drive of your locked computer. Once booted to the PCUnlocker program, it will detect all the partitions which contain a valid Windows installation.

Select the SAM file for the Windows installation whose password you need to bypass, it will list all the user accounts stored in your selected SAM file. If you’re running PCUnlocker on a dual-bot machine, there should be two SAM files and make sure you choose the desired one.

Choose a user account and click on “Reset Password”. This program will wipe the password, enable/unlock the account, and promote it to an Administrator if it’s a standard or limited account.

Take the CD out of the CD drive and reboot the computer. You can then log back into Windows without typing password. So this is how you can bypass the password for any version of Windows.

Before we can do anything, we need to make a PCUnlocker Live CD (or USB drive) using a computer with internet connection. Download the self-extracting archive of PCUnlocker which contains a bootable ISO image. Burn the ISO file to a CD or USB drive with ISO2Disc, ImgBurn, Rufus or other similar burning programs.

Insert PCUnlocker Live CD into your optical drive and then restart your locked computer. If you have either on a USB flash drive, that will work too. As your computer boots there should be a splash screen, and in some corner of a screen, there is usually a message that will flash telling you which key is used to enter “Setup” or something similar.

Once in BIOS Setup, look for a section labeled “Boot Priority” or “Boot Order” and follow the on-screen instructions for changing it such that CD/DVD-ROM is a higher priority than the hard drive. After changing the boot order, you should now be able to boot into the PCUnlocker Live CD that we’ve just created.

When presented with the PCUnlocker screen, select your desired user account and click on “Reset Password” button. This will reset lost Windows 7 login password as well as unlocking your disabled or locked-out account.

Remove the PCUnlocker Live CD and then restart your computer. This time your computer will boot up from the local hard drive and it allows you to login to Windows 7 without a password!
