Thank you so much for this! We recently and unexpectedly lost our dog. While it may sound silly to some, we're very sad and miss her so much. Our photos of her were stored on a laptop locked with a password we've since forgotten. With this video we were able to again see the face of our pup that we miss so dearly. I can only assume others that have since forgotten their passwords and have lost family members and friends are in this same situation. Thank you again for taking the time to put together this helpful video.
Thank you so much Danish. I just fixed my old laptop having the same problem by seeing this video. Its been more than 1 year i am having the issue. This is life saving!
Danish,I really want to thank you. My dad had two computers with a lot of family pictures and other things. It is a pretty trying time for us and being able to recover the stuff on his computer will be very important for my family. My mom will be very happy to see what I've recovered when I put it on her computer. This isn't just the regular "lost my password" need. It will make someone very happy at a very difficult time. Thank you.
Why haven’t you answered and helped the person underneath you when you’re showing off your skills they still need help from 11 months ago that’s not very helpful
Hey Buddy!! Thanks a lot for this video! I'm from India. It's an awesome and perfect fix to an issue -"Password Forgot & Don't Remember". I have been trying and searching a lot for a video on RUclips from several months. Today is my luck day!! I got to see this video of yours. I'm not a techie and it took hardly an hour for me to watch the solution provided by you, follow the process steps and apply it to get into my personal laptop for which I forgot the login PWD. Thanks again and Wish you all success and Stay blessed!!
Thank you! HolyCRAP!!! what a rabbit hole I went down to try to get into my computer that mysteriously wouldn't accept my password anymore, I was about to do a reset but then I found this vid!! NEVER in a million years did I think it would be possible to get into it without a reset or pre-made key. WOW. Side note, this is really disconcerting to know in terms of security lol.
Important: You will need another computer to create the USB like how I did it on a working machine, Once you follow the guide and you have the USB go to the locked machine and apply the steps.
Worked Perfectly!!! best solution if you forget your laptop's password and security questions. Since i Switched to a desktop pc and haven't used my laptop in over 2 years, i totally forgot the password to it and this helped!!!
Thank you so much im from south africa and bought a notebook of which the person forgot the password and the helped me so much and I can now use it for work. yipeeee. you the best......
I am so grateful for your life and how your video saved me from losing all my teaching materials. I tried everything I found on the internet but it did not work until I saw your video. God bless you, your family, and your career.
Thank you so much. I have not used your method yet and it is almost two years later than the original posting but still, it gives me hope that I can recover my information. Be well and be safe.
You saved me. Had a friend that got scammed and they locked his PC up with a PIN code. Using your instructions I was able to get in. change the [password and remove the software they used. Thanks!!!!
Thank you so much for this! I can't believe I forgot my password for my old desktop and following this got me back into it. This is the biggest relief for me!
Thanks a lot! My PC suddenly said my correct password was incorrect. This is the only working method I found that doesn't require reinstalling windows. Fixed it in a few minutes.
@@hassanelhadi9145 Yes, everything stays intact, only the password is removed. Just follow the video and you'll be fine. Only difference is that I created the bootable USB on Mac so I used Etcher instead of Rufus.
Just want to say thank you so so much. I have been trying for a few years to access my old laptop which had all my baby photos of my son. I tried this and have now finaly recovered them all. ❤
Well, it’s been a year I guess he can’t do that. That was the same. Wish I had because I am totally totally lost. But I guess I don’t come back and check their messages very often or at all.
I've been searching for a solution for quite a while now. And I'm so glad I stumbled on these. You save me a lot of money for sharing this video. Now I can use my laptop again. Cheers!
Dear Danish, I have followed everything but it says "Error: Access to the device is denied". So I tried to format the flash drive to Fat32 instead. Still the same. I tried NTFS, still the same. Can you help please?
Im a bit late but you need to have it in downloads then you have the flash drive you want on Rufus and the file from downloads, you can't have the ISO on the drive already. Probably too late though
Hey! You just saved my ass tonight! After a lot of stress, I got in and things worked out. I didn't have to factory reset (even when I believed that was my only option). Thank you so fucking much! Dunno where I'd be without this tutorial!! Keep doing what you're doing!!! ❤
Thank you very much. Your tutorial have helped me to recover my files in the laptop that I've forgotten the password. I don't know what you believe in, but may that positive influences save and bless you!!!
If you install the HBCD on the lexar flashdrive first, how can you then put the Rufus on the flashdrive when it tells you it's going to destroy anything that is already on the flashdrive?
I created the USB per your instructions, took a lot longer than what you showed when you created the USB. I had to change a setting to get the legacy boot menu. I chose the USB to boot to, but I get the error "there isn't enough memory available to create a ramdisk device" What do I do?
Bless u brav. For that ones who doesnt work i recomand rufus 211 - fat 32 -for uef. You will understand than. If you have the new bios disable fast boot and secure boot. Bye
thank you my man !!!! you gave me a relief and depressurized my blood pressure !! i have seen this after 5 to 6 videos finally you helped me with correct solution thank you so much guys do check this method 100% working !!!
Omg thank u so much. Havent been able to get into mu 2nd laptop for like 3 months. Anyone thats using a usb because u ran out space on your old laptop...u will need 2nd usb's to plug in after u download both of the things he told u to download. Took me 2 hours to figure that out but luckily I bought a 2 pk from Amazon.
It was working fine until I got to the screen to open the Sam file. It popped up a small screen saying that I had to change the attributes to write, but I was unable to find a "write" anywhere in the properties
Hello, Great video!! Question: This video was posted 3 years ago, does this tactic still work smoothly.. the way you've just shown us here? I don't really want to use my good PC to download/bridge anything onto it. However can I use a Chromebook to download the Hiren's bootCD files onto the thumb drive. I need to unlock my old laptop to recover my forgotten password & retrieve a bunch of family pics. Thank you.
Thanks you for this. I had an old laptop that I found in my loft and my kid was going on about it but couldn't get in. This sorted that out and made one happy little boy when I gave it to him.
I'm following you video and so far everything is working but when I get to clicking open on the NT the pop up says "SAM file opened read-only. so changes cannot be saved". It only has a OK button to click and then the program still doesn't show any names. Did I miss something?
I don't have words how to give thanks to you! Thank you very much! I am able to reset the password of PC which I am using to run the Humidification system! Again Thank you!
It didn't work for me I saved both programs to the usb but the rufus wouldn't let me change the settings. Do you have to save it first to the computer you are working from then upload tot he usb?
Hi! Thank you so much for your video. I'm having some trouble with the USB reboot, as soon as I press enter the Windows logo doesn't appear for me. Instead there's a whole code with information like FreeDOS kernel, copyright rights, FreeCom version and then I think I'm supposed to write something for the C partition, as it shows "C:\>". Did this ever happen to anyone?
What does it mean by zero devices found in that RUFUS window? You also mentioned CD but didn't explain what that was for! The flash drive with *iso download is already in the USB port. Appreciate it if you explain; thanks.
Hi I am a student and needed to get into a school laptop but none of the teachers knew the password and this looks sketch af but it works and works well. It also works on Windows 10 not just 7
Does this fix works also for locked in accounts by log in windows device center. I have and issue since i lost my computer on airport and recovered it by security and i did perform a lock device as i was affraid i might never recover, now i can no longer log in with my pw or fingerprint and so far i understood can be done in a safe recovery windows erase data without loosing the storage which is very important as it is my working computer. But i still cannot go into that step to be able to reset. ..?

When you download the HBCD_PE_x64 file, do you copy it to the USB?
I'd like to but criminals will interfere!
Do you download the HBCD_...... On another laptop or how do you do it?

Not really. The Rufus download is completely different and it doesn't fit the video suggestion. Ok, it's been years since.
@@adrianoyorkshireso do you need Rufus for this? I recently bought a locked laptop because the dude couldn’t reset it so I paid $25 for it

Worked like a charm!!! Thanks a lot man!!! 👍
Thanks your process was a lifesaver.
I've tested and it works. Thanks 😊
Did it delete the file that was on that profile or no?
If you install the HBCD on the lexar flashdrive first, how can you then put the Rufus on the flashdrive when it tells you it's going to destroy anything that is already on the flashdrive?
You download both to your computer then run rufus to put the HBCD files onto the usb drive in the format needed to use it.
@@Jalpha-guitar thanks
When I downloaded and clicked on HBCD it says I don’t have permission to mount the file.
The HBCD isn’t on the “select drop down box”
I created the USB per your instructions, took a lot longer than what you showed when you created the USB. I had to change a setting to get the legacy boot menu. I chose the USB to boot to, but I get the error "there isn't enough memory available to create a ramdisk device"
What do I do?
Same here
Bless u brav. For that ones who doesnt work i recomand rufus 211 - fat 32 -for uef. You will understand than. If you have the new bios disable fast boot and secure boot. Bye
