Windows Vista - Password Cracker

[Spydermag68]

I need a password cracker for Windows Vista.
My father has set the password to his computer and now is locked out.

Thanks for your help.

Bwhahaha. Good luck with that. If he doesn't remember his password, then your best bet is removing the HD, Pray that it isn't encrypted, and access it from a different computer to copy vital files before a reformat.

You will have to reinstall vista (Or wait for ~2-3 years for a password cracker to brute force his old password, assuming it was a simple one)

This will do it (just be careful when you use it)
This can reset his User Account password

Note that if he encrypted any of his files, they
Will Not be accessible with the new password.

There is no way to view files that were encrypted
with one password, after the password is reset.

Afterwards, create a user password reset disk
as described in the next link:

huh what? lol there are many free bootup programs to crack Vista.

In HS someone set there password to hebrew,and when they restarted it did not let them type hebrew, within 20 min of googling and burning a disc the password was changed. Not too hard, I might still have that disc with me as well.

OPHCrack is one of the most useful tools out there. They have liveboots for Vista and XP.

As long as he didn't use bitlocker to encrypt the drive you should be able to use any of the password reset programs.
