If you forget Windows password, you can have a try of Ophcrack, Offline NT Password. But I think the best solution is Anmosoft Windows Password Reset Software. No data will be lost. Windows Password Reset Software

This is totally different from "How to disable password"



Lost Windows password:


  • Login as Administrator. Try with no password (load safe mode if you don't see Administrator). Press F8 during boot to access Safe Mode.
  • Login as other user (if other user is available) and manage users. Must be an administrator.
  • Reformat computer.
  • Use 3rd party software to remove password. Like http://www.top-password.com/reset-windows-password.html
