Window Password Recovery is just what I have been looking for in the past several years. It is a smart and easy-to-use tool. I am very pleased with its powerful functions which have helped me reset my XP computer password.

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!

One day I deleted all my passwords. Acus password protect manager was uninstalled and during this action it also deleted all my passwords in windows itself, so then I cannot log into my computer. Really thanks to one of your person, she kindly told me the way to reset my vista windows password with your software. Up to now, I¡¯ve recommend this to 3 of my friends.
