There are many Windows password reset tools, but I haven't personally tested them. Windows Password Rescuer is a widely spread edition on internet…
It supports running with CD/DVD/USB, remove the lost or forgotten password and then log in to your computer without any password.As long as you have another PC to install it and burn it to CD/DVD or USB Drive.You also can use Windows Password Rescuer to add a new user with administrator privilege to your Windows when you can not find target user. With this New user account you can and logon your locked computer directly to copy important data from the locked computer if you want to reinstall your Windows system at last.More detailed instruction you can visit :

Aloha! Most likely with 2008 your issue is capitalization and partition #. 2008 creates a boot partition and a "windows" partition. Select the second (or largest) partition if you've done a standard install. When it asks, your directory should be Windows/System32/config (note the caps and the Linux notation '/' NOT '\'). In Linux….and as God intended…. W is a different character than w and S is a different character than s. That is why W looks different than w!

What I've noticed is that no one is responding to the issue concerning step 2. I'm also using Vista and I've attempted to boot the system 2x and at step 2 I cannot select option 1, 2, or 3. Would someone please provide a solution…and please don't say follow the instructions. Much appreciated!

No. I have never heard of anyone losing their files when using this procedure.

Will attempting this process cause me to lose all my original files?

The quick and easiest way when you realize losing windows password is burning a Windows Password Key to a blank CD,and insert the disk to your computer, it allows clear the password without knowing the old one.

@Jawed: With all respect, no matter how much Windows Vista ticks people off, it does not change passwords. So either you forgot it, or you are not a good typist. No offense.

@Antony: Wouldn't think so Anthony since there are no "local" accounts on a DC. The DCPROMO process changes all local accounts on the box to Active Directroy Domain Accounts. Since this utility only resets the local administrator account, there wouldn't be one on the DC to reset.

Saved me today. After many hours of installing and tweaking a brand new PC, something went wrong. I was not able to log into the only Administrator account I had, once the machine had been rebooted.

I burned Windows Password Key to usb, followed the onscreen prompts and in a few minutes was back in the machine.

What a lifesaver!

It will become a permanent part of my toolset for fixing Winndows password problems.
