2. Offline NT Password & Registry Editor
Offline NT Password & Registry Editor erases your lost or forgotten password instead of recovering it. Infect it’s like a password reset tool, rather than a recovery tool. To use this utility, you need to boot to a burned CD created with the Offline NT Password & Registry Editor ISO file. Once you reset your password you can log in to your Windows account without password. It is text based program and a little inconvenient when you use it to regain access to the locked computer.
