Bypassing Windows 7 and Windows 10 Password Reset

Suppose you just designated a new password to your computer account, but you forget it the next time you login. What do you do now? All of your important stuff is there inside that account. Don't worry it's easy and today we are going to show you how to bypass and reset your password .

For this you will need one thing :

A Linux live cd or if you don;t have this cd then boot a USB with a linux .ISO file (both these will work the same way ),I would suggest Ubuntu Desktop version for this trick though you can use any. If you don't know how to boot a USB with .ISO file Read here 

STEP 1:

First of all start the computer and go to boot menu and boot this linux live cd / USB drive in your computer.
Use Boot key whichever it is in your computer (It can be F12, F4, F6, F8 etc. depending on your computer)
Here Choose USB option.

STEP 2:

• Now you will see Ubuntu logo(logo is just ubuntu in letters) on the screen.It will proceed and ask you for two choices   a.)  Try Ubuntu   or    b.)   Install Ubuntu .
• Click on Try Ubuntu (Don't select install ubuntu by mistake as it will install ubuntu which you don't want).
• Now Go to Home Folder (its on left sidebar).Find C:\Windows\System32(basically find System32 files) .
•  Here you will find a file name sethc.exe, rename it to sethc1.exe .And also copy cmd.exe to the same folder rename one of the cmd.exe to sethc.exe.

STEP 3:

Restart your computer(remove the usb) and then you will see the login screen. Now just press the shift button for 5 times. Command prompt will open.
