In such cases one can make use of a number of live registry editing tools available on the internet.These tools enable the user to delete the window registry keys which point to the location of the encrypted password stored in the system.By deleting the keys they remove the password of the account.this time, you can use the 'Offline NT password And Registry Editor' to reset the admin password.
This Offline NT Password and Registry Editor comes with a simple user interface. On booting up the live cd available on the site,the software asks for selecting the partition having the windows installation,and the user name.It then scans the registry entries for the location of the password and deletes it.It then asks for a final confirmation to write data back to registry.Thus the password is removed in 3-4 steps and one gains access back to the account.
STEP BY STEP METHOD
Step 2: Select the Drive to Reset the Password
Once the disk loads the necessary drivers you will get a screen similar to Figure 2. You will need to select the partition that Windows is located. In this example I type "1" (without quotes) at the prompt and press "Enter"
Step 3: Select the Registry Path
Typically the disk will find the path automatically. When prompted like in Figure 3 press "Enter" to continue with the defaults.
Step 8: Quitting
After the password has been cleared you need to commit the changes. To do this, when at the prompt in Figure 8 type "!" (without the quotes) and press "Enter".
When prompted to write the files back in Figure 10 type "y" (without the quotes) and press "Enter".
Step 9: Completed...There is Light at the End of the Tunnel
After it has successfully completed you will get a prompt simliar to Figure 11. Be sure to read all of the output to ensure it wrote out the registry changes. At the prompt type "n" (without the quotes) and press "Enter". It will then tell you to press Ctrl-Alt-Del to reboot.
