While protecting the account is really important, remembering password is tough for many users.

Once you forget the administrator password, you cannot reset it easily.

In this post I will be introducing a fantastic tool called PC Unlocker.

This tool can be used to reset windows password with USB stick.

The tool works on all the popular OS such as Windows 10 8 7 Vista XP 2016 2012 2008 2003 2000 and Active Directory (AD) servers.

Most all even if your account is disabled, this tool can enable the account.

The comparison chart is here and you can go with the edition that suits your requirements.

The tool when downloaded comes in.ISO format.

Therefore to use this tool you could burn the ISO either to CD or USB device.

Note that we need another computer to perform the below steps.

Insert a blank CD or a USB flash drive with at least 1GB of disk space into your computer.
