Password reset for Windows

Stuck with your computer to get opened!! I'm here............

Here, I could help you to recover your windows operating system without damaging your data..

If you forgot your password or if you need to peek into your neighbours, you can use this trick
( Be aware you can't find the password through this, just an hack....:-) )

1. Prepare your Ubuntu live USB stick ready..
if not, follow my other post which will help you to make use of getting ready with live USB stick.
a) USB Bootable Stick - For Windows User
b) USB Bootable Stick - For Linux User

2. Insert the live stick into the system and give a reboot/ restart

3. You could see the live image of Ubuntu popup. if not go to bios setting before bootup and change the boot option as USB to first priority.

4. This time I hope you could see the Ubuntu screen.

5. Enter "Try Ubuntu"  option.

6. You could see a GUI (Graphical User Interface) Desktop of Ubuntu.

7. Go to file manager "FILES" in the left end taskbar icon or you could search for the "Files" by pressing windows key.

8.You could see the volume of disk with some "Alphabets" like CBSCAFASFASF, You can verify by seeing the folders of C drive in it like system, system32, etc..

9. Enter to the directory and search for "sethc.exe"

and rename it as sethc-temp.exe

10. Search and rename cmd.exe to sethc.exe

11. Now again change sethc-temp.exe to cmd.exe. Its just swapping the two executable.

12. Its just simple, now you can restart the system by unplugging the Live stick, which will lead you to the windows screen

13. Just press the "shift" button for 5 times and You will see a command prompt

14. enter "net user"
which will list the users in the system, note the user details, which you need to crack

15. enter "net user test *"
where test is the user name in my case

16. This will prompt you for new password, enter the new password and confirm and enjoy the peeking.

Thanks.................................:-)
