The Most Effective Ways Of Recovering Your Windows Passwords

Use a password recovery disk to retrieve your Windows password

Windows 7 and vista both will allow you to create a system rescue disk.

This disk is the most effective way of recovering your windows passwords. However, the issue with this choice is that you have to create the password rescued disk before you lose your password. So if you don't already have a password reset disk then this option isn't really applicable to you. Upon recovery of your password, it is recommended that you should create this disk for future use.

Roll back or restore Windows to a previous state

If you have recently added a new user to your system and know the password to another user account, then you may be able to restore Windows to an earlier point using the system restore function. The restore function for windows ensures that all your personal documents and files remain intact. However, Software's that were installed after the system restore points date will have to be reinstalled. In order to restore your password using this method you only require your operating systems setup CD. Simply run the setup and you will be guided through the restore process.

Obtain a commercial password reset tool

Fortunately, if you preferred not to reinstall or restore your operating system, there are professional tools available that can recover the lost windows password for you. I tend to look out for the tools that have USB stick support, as they allow you to recover the password using a bootable USB drive rather than CD. I would recommend using Password Resetter as it is affordable and possesses the USB support, plus it has worked 100% of the times that I have used it. But before you spend your money I recommend you try all the options in this article, if you do choose to purchase a tool to recover a lost password you should choose Password Resetter.

Reinstall Windows

If you do have to reinstall windows, then sometimes it's not too much of a bad thing. Your computer gets a fresh burst of life when the new operating system is first loaded back onto the machine. And if you have all your system files and important documents backed up then this option could be a breeze. Remember all you require is your windows setup disk, and from there on, its pretty much plug and play.

Safe storage of passwords

Trying to remember passwords and yet also trying to keep them secure often makes life difficult. If a passwords easy to remember its usually insecure. But we shouldn't keep easy passwords, and certainly shouldn't keep them on a piece of paper in the wallet or written on a post it stuck to the computer monitor. Instead there are a number of tools available to help you securely store and remember your usernames and passwords without keeping a cheat sheet in your wallet.
