Been doing this and file recovery on customer’s computers for a while now using System Rescue and randomly got recommended this video. Wanted to comment to say that this is one of the best tutorials for this scenario I’ve seen! Clear explanation, clear description and you have a way of conveying this information in a non-condescending tone (unlike some Linux gurus). Liked and subbed! Keep up the good work sir!
Viewed several video guides on how to get in after forgetting password, this was the best. My PC was weird -- I had to use SDB4, not SDA2. It worked -- much appreciated!
Thanks for this, had a system that was stuck behind the endless repair loop. I couldn't use any tools in the troubleshooter since it was stuck behind an admin account the person didn't know. Finally found this video, and managed to get the password cleared off no problem! Really appreciate you taking the time to do this.
you are my hero!!!!!!!! i got locked out of my server and i couldn't get back in!!!!!! i'm not back. i had so much fun doing it too. thank you stu, you helped me so much and inspired me to try linux on my old laptop. subbed
Stu - I've done this before. System Rescue CD is a wonderful tool for all kinds of stuff. Great video - gets right to the meat of how to do it quickly!
Love the way you introduced the video visually and audibly, but I was disappointed when I got to the point when i realised it involved running Linux command lines. Need something simpler. Julia
Hi Julia, Admittedly, the use of the System Rescue CD can be a bit of a steep learning curb. That said, it offers a full solution to many issues that real world windows techs run into everyday. There may be solutions that might give you a nice point and click interface, but I've never seen one that is free... The System Rescue CD is free, and following the instructions step by step will lead you to a successful result a high majority of the time. Most end users will never run into this in a lifetime, and many service professionals may only see it once in a decade. A free solution seems the best fit. At least that's my opinion, Stu AG6AG

Hi Duba, This is kind of a two part question. The System Rescue CD is available for both X86-64 and X86 platforms. You might have to dig a bit on the site to find the 32 bit version, but it's there. As far as resetting the Local Passwords, this should not be an issue with any version of Windows that was based on the NT security model. Hope that answers your question, Stu AG6AG

Works great. I last used the system rescue CD years ago and knew it likely could do this, and it was very helpful to have the full walkthrough.
It's my number one goto when on service calls.

Does this work for older computers?
