Skip the drama: When your own PC won't accept your password, or you just can't remember it, running your recovery disk may be the quickest and least frustrating way of getting back into Windows.

Recover My Password Home Edition is freeware. You can create a recovery disk or drive on any suitable PC. Recover My Password walks you through the steps of creating a bootable CD or USB drive and using it to reset your password or recover your product key. But you probably won't care, since the important thing is unlocking access to your system. Lazesoft Recover My Password Home Edition doesn't actually recover your lost password, so much as recover access to Windows.
