    Indeed, the Ophcrack Windows password crack saves your money. On the contrary, it is time-consuming and even could not work well as you a green hand in computer technical.

    Which system do you use?

    On windows xp, try this:
    Boot computer and press Ctrl+Alt+Delete twice when you See Windows welcome screen / login screen. It'll show classic login box. Now type "Administrator" (without quotes) in username field and leave password field blank, press Enter and you should be able to login Windows.
    Now you can reset your account password from "Control Panel -> User Accounts".

    If that doesn't or you use windows 7 or vista, try this:
    1. Enter a computer that can link to Internet. Download windows password recovery Tool 3.0 and install the software on that computer.
    2. Run the software and create windows password reset disk by follow the instructions.
    3. Eject the created CD/DVD and insert it into the locked computer.
    4. Reboot the locked computer (it's necessary for you to change your locked computer's BIOS setting to make it boot from CD drive) and then follow the instructions to reset your password.
    5. Now login Windows and set a new password.

    Try rebooting in safe mode as administrator (hold down F8).
    Else put a second disk in another PC and run some password reset utility like Windows Password Recovery.

    If its a BIOS password then the battery removal and insertion can prove out to be the best option but id the windows password lost then in that case any of the password recovery software can work for you

    You can remove coin shaped battery from the motherboard for a while and it will reset your bios settings. And it will remove your password too
