 As we are human being, there might be chance to forget the some moments or information. In that one of the things is forgetting the password of your account, if you are using mail service there is an option to reset the password of account; but you cannot find the option to reset windows password, here is the tutorial about resetting the password of your windows password. This will work on Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows XP, Windows 2000, Windows NT operating system.


Note: This can be used for any user in the windows operating system includes administrator.
Requirements:
  1. Hiren’s Boot CD.
  2. CD ROM (700MB)
Download Hiren’s Boot CD and burn it on CD using your favourite burner, power on your pc and make the DVD ROM to boot first. Hiren’s boot CD will boot and will show the list of option for further proceeding.
Step 1. Select “NT/2000/XP/Vista/7 Password Changer”
Step 2. Linux files are loading…
Step 3: Choose the Correct Hard Drive Partition
This step in the Offline NT Password & Registry Editor process is to select the partition that contains the Windows installation that you want to delete a password from.
Many computers have a single operating system installed on a single partition on a single hard drive, making this a very easy choice.
If that’s the case for you, just press ENTER to accept the default partition. Otherwise, type the number corresponding to the correct partition from the Candidate Windows partitions found list and then press ENTER.
If more than one partition is listed and you’re not sure which one to pick, chances are the larger partition is the one with Windows installed.
Every Windows 7 PC will have more than one partition listed.
Step 4: Confirm the Windows Registry Path
Offline NT Password & Registry Editor now needs to know the exact location of the Windows Registry. Except in the rarest of occasions, the default location will be the correct one.
Just Press ENTER to accept the default Windows Registry path without writing anything else.
Step 5: Choose the Password Reset Option
Offline NT Password & Registry Editor is now asking which part of the registry it should load.
Press ENTER to accept the default choice of Password reset.
The Offline NT Password & Registry Editor tool can perform various functions aside from resetting passwords but since that’s the focus of this particular walkthrough, that’s all we’ll discuss.
Step 6: Choose the Edit User Data and Passwords Option
Now that the registry is loaded and available to the program, Offline NT Password & Registry Editor needs to know exactly what you want to do.
Press ENTER to accept the default choice of Edit user data and passwords.
This will load the necessary options for the actual password reset.
Step 7: Enter the Username to Edit
Offline NT Password & Registry Editor now needs to know which user’s password you’d like to delete (erase, clear, blank, remove, call it what you like).
A default user is listed between the brackets at the prompt. In the above example, you can see that it’s the Administrator user.
If the default user is the user you’d like to remove the password from, simply press ENTER. Otherwise, enter the username and then press ENTER.

Step 8: Type 1 to Clear (blank) user password and then press ENTER
At the bottom of the screen you’ll see the User Edit Menu with several options to choose from.
Type 1 for Clear (blank) user password and then press ENTER.
Offline NT Password & Registry Editor shows some interesting information about the username you entered in the last step – the full name, what groups the user belongs to, how many failed login attempts have taken place, how many total logins have been completed, and more.
If you see a check in the “Passwd not req.” box, this means that a password is not a requirement for this particular user. It does not mean that a password is not required to access the account in Windows. In other words, it’s saying that it is possible to erase this user’s password.
Step 9: Type ! to quit the User Edit Tool
Assuming there weren’t any problems, you should see a Password cleared! message after entering 1 in the previous step.
Type ! to quit editing user and then press ENTER.
You must confirm these changes in a later step before they are actually complete. If you quit Offline NT Password & Registry Editor now then the password reset will not take place!
Step 10:  Type q to Quit Offline NT Password & Registry Editor
Enter q and then press ENTER to quit the Offline NT Password & Registry Editor registry editing tool.
Important: You’re still not done! You need to confirm your password reset change in the next step before it will take effect.

Step 11: Type y and then press ENTER to confirm Password Reset Changes
At the Step FOUR: Writing back changes menu, Offline NT Password & Registry Editor asks if you want to write file(s) back.
Type y and then press ENTER.
You should see an EDIT COMPLETE message appear on screen. If you do, it means that Offline NT Password & Registry Editor has written the password changes to your computer!

Step 12: Confirm That You’re Finished Using Offline NT Password & Registry Editor
Offline NT Password & Registry Editor gives you an option here to rerun the program. If you’ve been following along with this guide and everything seems to have worked properly then there’s little reason to repeat anything.
Press ENTER to confirm the default option of not rerunning the password reset.

Step 13: Remove Hiren’s BootCD and Restart the Computer
That’s it! You’ve just completed the entire Offline NT Password & Registry Editor password removal process.
Note: If you receive a “job control turned off” or a “can’t access tty” error, don’t worry. As long as the EDIT COMPLETE confirmation message was posted to the screen after you confirmed the password reset changes then your password was successfully reset. You should still be able to see the confirmation on the screen at this point.
Remove Hiren’s BootCD from your CD/DVD drive and then manually reset your computer.
In the next step, you’ll finally get to logon to Windows without entering a password!
Now that your password has been removed using Offline NT Password & Registry Editor, no password is required to log on to Windows.
If you are the only user on your computer, Windows will boot all the way to the desktop on the next reboot and will skip the logon screen altogether.
If you’re on a multi-user computer (as many families are), the logon screen will still appear after starting Windows but when you click on the user that had the password removed, you will not be prompted for a password and will instead enter Windows automatically.
Having a secure password is important so please don’t continue to use Windows without one. As soon as you’ve gained access to your computer again, configure a new password – one you can remember a little easier!
