You can quickly reset your Windows password using it on any of your Windows server and version by following these four simple steps.
Step 1: Download the software.
The software version should be selected based on your requirement. Then download and install it on a workable computer or laptop.
Step 2: Create a disk to reset Windows password.
One main step to be able to reset the password is to first make a DVD/USB/CD disk for Windows password reset. To begin creating a password reset disk, choose the disk type from the options available, i.e., “CD or DVD” and “USB device”.
Then, insert the DVD/CD/USB that you chose in your device and choose the “Begin burning” option in order to generate a password reset disk for your Windows.
Note: Steps 3, 4, and 5 are to be performed on the locked Window device.
Step 3:
Prepare to put your locked out Windows device to boot using the reset disk you created.
Booting the computer is a fairly simple process even if it sounds complicated. Here are two easy methods by which you can put your Windows to boot.
Method 1:
First, a relatively simple method is to put your device to boot using the “boot” option. Begin with inserting the reset disk in your device and restarting it. Once the device has restarted and is back to life, there will be a first screen displayed. Press the Boot key that is operational in your device (different companies have different boot keys and hence we have attached a table for boot keys in most of the computer companies). Once you press the boot key, you will be directed to the “Boot menu”. Once in the menu, select the USB/DVD/CD option based on the reset disk type that you created. Not being able to enter the boot menu in the first attempt is a common scenario, if that happens, try pressing the boot key again.
Method 2:
Boot your device using the BIOs system. In order to boot your device this way, all you have to do is restart your computer and immediately start pressing the BIOs entry key repeatedly and proceed to select the boot option using the desired keys. At last, select the reset disk type as your boot device.
Step 4: Reset Windows.
Once the Windows password remover is operational, follow these 3 mini-steps to conclude your reset.
- On the password reset screen, first, select your Windows server type and then choose a user.
- A “Reset” button will then be displayed, click on it. (Note: for Windows Server 2016,2012,2008,2003,2000 the password will be set to Spower@2011 by default, while there will be no password for Windows 10,8.1,8,7, XP, Vista and 2000.)
- Click on the “Reboot” button displayed to restart your computer. A message (attached below) will then be displayed. Finally, remove the password reset disk from your device, and by clicking on the Yes option, restart your device.
Now you are done with resetting instead of a factory reset Windows 7 without password or in other Windows versions.
