Hi Chris, thanks for this - This looks promising. I've followed your instructions up to using Rufus portable, and thought I successfully created a bootable iso image. Stuck it into my forgotten password laptop, and.. weirdly enough, it seems that the laptop (HP 15-db0046xx) isn't automatically recognising this as a bootable image. Restarted again, selected Boot Device Options, and my USB isn't picked up by the boot manager as a boot option.
When selecting Boot from EFI File, the file explorer shows that chntpw is available, but doesn't allow me to boot up the file from there. Would you know how I might be able to get this working?

I know this is an old vid, but using this info, I cannot get the laptop with the usb to start with the USB iso. There's a gap in the info for me. I have rufus on my PC, put the iso on the usb and plugged the usb into the laptop. it's an HP and hasn't been used in 3 years. no amount of restarting, getting into auto repair (diagnosing pc) has given me any sort of results. I cannot get to the cmd prompt because it goes to the user password to access that. Top it off, the laptop has partitions.. I don't know why but looks like 3 or more. C is boot, then there is X and I forget what the others were. And it won't boot from the usb still.

I don't think the file is available for download anymore.
I have a computer that I haven't used it for more than 24 months. Even though I entered the correct password but it still doesn't work. I just want to login and backup the file and I might reinstall it with Windows or Linux afterward.

Thank you so much for such a valuable video sir. I don't know words to thank you. But I only have a single problem. Is there any way to brute force the pins since we have only 10000 combinations? Password resetting didn't recover the pin for my case. Thank you so much again

Awesome method, but i think you confuse it a little. Anyone would go ahead and try to reset immediately the pass for the account used and not the admin account. It wdnt be a problem wd it? it seems the tut above it is for people with virus in the comp that needs clean up.

Chris - I see that you enabled the admin, while other login accounts were listed.. Was not this video about resetting forgotten passwords? Is the procedure the same for a regular account [such as Titus]? Will it function the same? thanks. dw

I tried this on my old work computer which is a dell 7440 aio and the software loads fine until it gets to loading The Kerbal and then it just hangs. I am at a loss as to why on this pc when it works fine on my tester at home. Any thoughts???

trying this on windows 10 at the first option to boot, i hit enter and just get a kernel panic and its stuck... anyone have any suggestions? other methods have failed as well i'm at the point where it might be easier to rebuild.

Weird, not working for me. I make all the changes, save the hive data, reboot, and i don't get the Administrator account, nor i can get into another account that i cleared the password. Everything stays the same.

Hi. I try to boot from USB but it doesn't detect in in boot menu but if I put something else bootable on the USB it will detect it, just not the bootable reset program. Any idea's? Cheers.
