Solution 1

Step 1: Insert a Windows installation disc on your victim computer and reboot from it.

Step 2: Select your native language and hit next. Click on "Repair Your Computer" link from the bottom corner of the screen.

Step 3: Select "Troubleshoot" followed by "Command Prompt" to launch the command prompt window.

Step 4: On the command prompt screen, type the following line and press Enter: net user Rocky NewPassword

Step 5: Replace 'Rocky' with your username and "NewPassword" with any password of your choice.

Step 6: Restart your computer and use the new password to get into your computer again.

Though this method is free, it is not applicate to everyone because you have to get a bootable Windows disk and know some advanced computer skills. It would be a disaster if you did it wrongly. So please be warned and be careful if you stick to this suggestion. Or you can just follow a more simple way as we mentioned in next section.
