I lost my windows 7 password and spent lots of time in finding a good way to recover it. Actually I tried many tools, but they were either too complicated or even not safe. Until someone recommended Windows Password Recovery Standard 6.0, I found it is an excellent password reset tool! Now I won¡¯t worry about losing password any more. Here I need to write and send out my thanks to you all.

I bought this computer used, and recently I got the nice message "Windows has failed to start" So as per instructions I inserted my XP disc to run "Repair" and it has asked me to enter an administrator password in order to continue. I really got no clues about this admin password. With hoping to recover the password, I found your program while I was searching in Google, certainly, I tried it immediately. I have to say, your prog did me a great help!
