One day one of my friend came to my home and he starts operating my pc as he want's to do some work . I am not aware that he changed my admin password. When he finished his work , said to me that he is going to leave so I said him please turn off my pc as I was not interested to work at that movement. After some time when I start my pc it ask me the password but it was changed by my friend. This password prevents against unauthorized access to your crucial information stored on the computer and is required at each attempt of booting the computer. I call my friend who came to my home and ask him that did he changed my admin password he said yes but he can't remember it also as he changed the password in a hurry, now the problem arises I tried almost very thing to break the password of the admin but i can't. Now i am worried about my important data which was stored in my drive. If I format and reinstalled my windows again I will going to lose all my important documents which i was stored in my windows drive. Then one of my friend gave me with windows password recovery software of "Stellar Phoenix" . I inserted the software disk and boot my system through that disk but it won't work out on my system . I said to him why this software is not working he said, but he recovers the admin password. I don't know what to do please help me out to recover my windows password.?

A lot of methods are available to recover or reset the Windows password. The famous Ophcrack is used for recovering the password.The big disadvantage of ophcrack is the large ISO file. We need to download a file of size 500MB to recover the password.And I have tested it ever,it actually can not dispay the password as the instruction says.

However, there is also a plenty of software which can help us reset the Windows password by a bootble DVD/CD or USB driver. As those Windows password recovery software with a small ISO image file, you can save a lost of time and space to download such program. But the problem is you need operate in Dos environment, which is more suitable for PC expert.

So I thought why not we simply reset or remove the password using Windows Password Rescuer program. The friendly and intuitive interface of Windows password Rescuer 3.0 makes it easy to use, even for a novice.
What can we do when forgot Windows password? Windows password reset by four steps! More knowledge about:Windows 7 password recovery, recover Windows domain admin password

use the Ultimate Boot Disc or Hirens. With UBCD, you can use offline password set. Create a New Admin acct, log in with that thenchange yours back.
Then create "basic user" account for your "friends" so they dont do this kind of stuff to you.
There are 10 types of people in the world. Those who understand Binary and those who dont.
