Can’t remember the password of the laptop

Hi Rochelle Cruz,

There are lots of tools available on the internet for you to recover password on your laptop. I’ve mentioned some of the tools that are available for free on the net.

• Cain and Abel

One of the best recovery tools available. Easy recovery using lots of techniques.

• John the Ripper

Open Source software available for various platforms. There is also a pro version if you considered to spend some money.

• Offline NT Password and Registry Editor

Used to reset the password and comes in CD or Floppy images to boot from.

• PC Login Now

It will not let you display your Windows password but instead, it will delete your current password making it easy for you to access your Windows again.

Apart from these tools there are also BootCDs which comes with inbuilt mini XP having all the tools required for you to recover the password. One of them is Hiren’s BootCD and you can download it from here.
