"Danger! Danger! Danger! Danger!"

Pros
none none none none none
Cons
When I double click on the downloaded zip file, it immediately starts spawning empty windows faster than they can be deleted. The only way to stop it is to shut the PC down.

"Password utility works perfectly"
Version: PCWin Recovery w/ Windows Password Reset 5.0.3
Pros
I am the sole IT admin for a company with about 1000 users. I started this job a week before writing this review. Workstations started getting kicked off the domain and the local admin accounts were disabled. I had no way of logging in to these computers in order to add them back to the domain. I tried UBCD and PCloginnow before finding PCWin Recovery. I made a bootable USB flash drive with PCWin Recovery and cleared the local admin password. I was able to login and add the computers back to the domain.
Cons
Nothing yet.
Summary
I have successfully used PCWin Recovery on all three variants of Windows 7. Great bootable utility.
Almost forgot. The password utility will NOT work unless you purchase the license. I purchased the $34.99 Corporate license so I'd be able to use it over and over. Well worth it.

"FANTASTIC PRODUCT!! EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE!!"
Version: PCWin Recovery w/ Windows Password Reset 5.0.3
Pros
A new client got hacked and the hacker disabled the admin users, so even though the passwords were not lost, login was not possible. We felt the hacker probably created a new admin account for his use but we had no way knowing what it was much less how to log in with it. I searched the Internet for a password cracker and purchased one from some other company. But it did not work and their support link was broken. Finally I found PCWin Recovery. I was a little concerned because the price was so low, but I purchased it anyway. The server is ~ 10 years old and PCWin Recovery had a minor problem. So I emailed PCWin Recovery support and got an answer back almost immediately! Their programmer, Rob, actually created a special version of the program for the old server and it worked perfectly! I was able to view the hacker's user account and cleared the password. Then I logged in and took back control of the server. PCWin Recovery is the real deal! It's easily worth 10 times the price.
Cons
None. Nada. Zip.
Summary
Great product. Great Support. Great price!
