- Recover from Forgotten Windows 8 Password
Now we all have forgotten our windows Microsoft Administrator User Account Password, so in this video I show you you how to reset it with Hirens Boot CD. You can remove password or reset it to a new password. or just leave it blank.
www.briteccompu...
THE ONLY method I have found that is nice and easy and works 100% on windows 8! Seriously saved my dads laptop!
I don't really know how much i can thank you for this video. It has put me on another level of computers. May God bless you bro!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So it's now 2020 and things have changed a bit. I can confirm though that Hiren's BootCD still does it things and works just fine. Just removed the PWs from two Admin accounts on a Windows 8 machine.
Brian you are an absolute star. This video has really helped me out big time. Thank you my friend. Owe you a few pints for this. Mick. Northern Ireland.
Thanks for this video. It help me solved my cousin's Windows 8 forgotten password problem.
Hey Dude.... Thanks for sharing this video...it was really helpful. I am glad that you share this video which was a lifesaver. I struggled little bit because different Laptop brand has something different to access BIOS and Setting in BIOS.
Just a helper tip for others using Sony VAIO: Your bootable USB flash drive wont get detected unless you do below:
1. Enable External Drive.
2. Change The priority to 1st.
3. Under Boot -> Boot Config -> change the Boot mode to Legecy instead of something UET...
Thanks a lot and appreciate your help.
One in a long string of first rate videos. Can't wait for the next. Thanks Brian.
Thanks for the kind words.
nice one. i have reset quite a few laptops before but its been xp,vista,7
i was having trouble with 8.managed to get the lastest hiren's disk, i followed what you did and it worked a treat, thanks dude.
hi, it sounds like you know what you're doing. If there are multiple profiles on the PC how do you drill down to the SAM file for the correct profile? hoping you might answer here, thanks
Jami Francis well it was the first time i used this method on a windows 8 pc.there was only one profile on it anyway . I think with this method you just pick the sam file in the location where the video shows and it then shows you all the profile names which you can then pick one you want to clear.
in the past i have used another password reset tool ,but it didnt work on win 8, that had like a black dos sort of screen and it listed the profile names, you had to physically type the name to select which one you want to clear.hope that helps a tadge.been a long day this end.heads fried and its hard to think lol
Thanks for this Brian - Have a great week!
Your welcome.
Britec09 thank's brian for that usefull and very informative tutorial i have question does this works with Spotmau Powersuite Gold 2012 too ( Windows 8 or Windows 8.1 )
***** I test it over the weekend and see.

Thanks a million!!!! That Hiren CD looks awesome.
Awesome.... saves lot of time and data thanks buddy
i followed the steps, but when i restarted the computer, it didnt boot to the herins boot cd
Why after i open on Mini WinXP, there is no HBCD Menu....
The new Hiren has these tools instead:
Lazesoft Password Recovery v4.0.0.1
NT Password Edit v0.7
Worked fine on my old Asus!
Cheers
I have two questions:
1) At 2:40 you can also see the option unlock,what happens if you click that?
2) When browsing in system32 folder, can you replace sethc with cmd to also get the sticky keys hack done while in this, will it work?
Thanks, very good tutorial served me and managed to get a new password
love all your videos bro keep up the great work . im about to try it out on my windows 8 OS and ill let you / ya'll if it work for me or not ! oh and will this work for windows 8.1 as well or just windows 8 ? ? ?
great upload brian but MS must be wondering why they bothered with password encryption lol
Yeah its not that safe the password on Windows.
where do you get the Hiren's boot usb flashdrive from? ZZI do not have one !
Great worked like a charm! thanks man
Hello, I'm trying to figure out how I did this. A longgggg time ago I used Hiren to find the password of a forgotten admin account. I didn't just change the password, I was able to find the hash code and translate it back to the original password with some specific program. I can't find this anywhere. Please help!
Great video first time I've heard about this tool.
Another utility I've got but rarely use is: Knoppix 7.0.5 Can you do a couple of videos on that too? It would be much appreciated. Kind regards, Dave
I will add that to my list David.
Cool. Will this work with windows 10?
You did the grate job,Thanks
can u please tell me what do u click on to open that windows when u r rebooting the PC
Does the unlock button just open it up with out changing or removing the original password?
Yeah.... Like number 100.... love the videos Brian, 'em coming!
More on the way Matthew.
Hey Britec. I'm having an issue. I have a Toshiba Radius laptop that has an UEFI only bios setting so I cannot get Hiren's boot CD to boot. Are there any solutions for an OS like this?
Hi - having trouble getting rufus to recognise the .iso file. says thta it only supports ISOs based on bootmgr/WinPE, isolinux or EFI?
Would appreciate any pointers
Cheers
Jez Williams
Worked a treat. Thank you
I'm trying to do this on asus laptop but the asus didn't recognized the usb please help thanks a lot.
One more thing if ever I do this no files were deleted right?
I have some knowledge of computers and have no clue what you were doing. How does this help with a computer i can't get any farther than the login screen. yes I can get into the recovery part of it and tried these with no help. what is a good pay software?
1 week late Britec! I could've used that for a friend lol!
never mind, you can use it next time.
Sure will lol. I didn't know at first you had other videos about this.
bowling Minecraft Channel yeah nearly 700 videos.
Thanks A ton ! your video helped me brother you are amazing
Ruddy brilliant. Thanks for this.
This will not work with windows 8 Microsoft account eg email login, only will work with local account setup.
PLEASEEE REPLY TO THIS , so all i have to do is tp download that software and plug it into an shut down computer then turn it on , will that boot thing pop up straight away ???
Followed all instructions to the letter and can not get the Hiren Boot CD to work, neither boot disk (cd) or usb drive is not working for me. Help!!!
After spending HOURS trying to find a video to help me open my computer I came across your video and BINGO, I got it. You are the F**KING MAN. I could kiss you if I were gay. SHIT, I'm straight and can STILL kiss you for the help. Thank you bro. Subscribing NOW.....

Does this only work for offline accounts or does it also work on live accounts?
Okay so i've forgotten my administrator's password so I downloaded the hirens.bootCD.15.2 file and saved it to a memory stick and now what do i do? I've restarted it and its done nothing and i can't open the file because i dont know my password to my account! HELP!!
Hey dude nice video, you really helped me with this problem, but before i go and reset my password i wanted to hear you, if it is possible to recover your old password instead? That would be much more useful for me, hope you can help.
Again, thank you!
hi friend i need to know if i need to press on a key at the pc ? w 8 cos i download the hiren 15.1 and .2 i restard the pc!!! dont read the cd plz help ty :(
the pc keep repairing what I changed after I do all this its very frustrating to get it all done and then when I finish the pc goes into repair mode and undoes everything I reset to protect the user. I there a way to stop it form doing this?
Thx You Very Much , It Work For Me :)
Bigger problem when most people are using their email/pass login for win8, any thoughts on the subject?
If we follow these steps is our data save after recovery?
Very helpful.
Thanks! It works perfectly!
flawless your're great micely done Brian keep up the good work
Cheers Maverick.
thanks a ton bro..worked exactly..:)
tried this word for word Hirens 15.2 booted into Win XP mini all of it and absolutely no change and yes I clicked save changes
how can I get to a boot from cd if the password is blocking it ? cant even get to the bios because of password.. how do you get around that >?
I have used this procedure and have gained access to the PC however, I now have no Apps working. They just go to the relevant screen , ie photos, mail, store ,whatever , and then go back to the start screen. Do you have any ideas ? Many Thanks
Britec09 when i boot using Hiren Boot Cd 15.2, the only icons that show are My Computer, My network place, Command Prompt and install new hardware. There is no option for Program launcher?...Can you help me Please?
i had the same problem
yh for you to work around that problem , just click on the start button and it should be the first option there at the top
Maybe is too late, but... Change HD operation mode on BIOS settings. When you change to IDE all features in Hiren's turn ON. The 'problem' is the AHCI mode, most of live CDs dont install all native drivers correctly. Hope it helps. GL.
Dergan Bertassi thanks, this helped!
Do you know why i get a blue screen after I select xp mini?
what if you cant get in it? forgot my email & password tries to many timea to recover but no luck do you know what i can try to restart but from the outside
Hi this process is perfect but i got a message the not enough memory when i run the cd do you know why?
Thank you, I would have just re-installed Windows but I have Office on it and don't know what I have done with the disc or product key.
thanks

great tip, thanks.
Yeah its real easy with Hirens.
At password change the user 'unlock' tab is greyed out on my laptop, on your example it is not is this of any significance?
hi....i actually haven't done major changes in my laptop... but now i hv forgotten my password and i am struggling wt dat.... will u be able to assist me on this regard??
Hiiiiiiiiii Brian Sir thnk u for uploading tis imp & useful video for all of us; but sir i have one question for u n tat is > That from where to download the "Hiren's Boot CD" Means the "Live CD"????
Yeah you could call it a Live CD
Britec09 k thnk u sir for giving a feedback but one more thing left from it that from where to download it????
where can you download the hirens program?
And if your pc refuses to boot from a bootable device like hirens, ultimate boot cd etc? How do we get to our cmd or other tools to reset the password. I don't have the boot option on the laptop and it won't let me enter the uefi/bios to change the boot order untill after you can get into windows 8.
disable secure boot in bios.
Britec09
So we should disable secure boot before we get locked out of windows 8. Because if you can't boot into the bios you can't disable the secure boot.
Excelente dica :)
Obrigado pela partilha!

PLEASE HELP ME
i really confused of how to 'boot' the hiren boot..i mean i did hold Shift button along with hitting the Restart if that is what you mean by booting the hiren boot,but it did not appear as shown on the video..so pleasee help me with thiss......i don't know how to run the 'boot'......ASAP!!!
Download the ISO from a trusted source. Get an ISO burning software (I use imgburn). Make the disc, stick disc in tray, and tell BIOS to boot from CD.
Huge save for me, thanks!
thank you very much bro
Does dis work for Win 7 too ?
Good info
Cheers Terry.
how do you reboot the system into mini xp..? please give me instruction..
There was no ISO in the Hirens download. I extracted it there was no ISO to be found. I looked inside every folder that was part of the .zip. I'll try downloading again.
Ibrahim Huneiti Thanks for the reply but I found a different method.
Hi great video!! But i have a problem, when i'm using the aplication for password reset i can't find my HD so i can't find the Windows files. Is there any solution? Thanks!!!!!
