Lazesoft Recover My Password Home Edition doesn't actually recover your lost password, so much as recover access to Windows. But you probably won't care, since the important thing is unlocking access to your system. 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. You can create a recovery disk or drive on any suitable PC. Recover My Password Home Edition is freeware.
Pros
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.
Product Key: Recover My Password also recovers the all-important Windows Product Key from non-booting PCs. Without a valid product key, your Windows copy might appear invalid.
Instructions: Instructions and screenshots explain how to create and use bootable recovery tools.
Cons
BIOS settings: While it's not difficult to run Recover My Password, it involves entering startup and booting from a different source than your main boot drive, and inexperienced users may find the process unfamiliar and even daunting.
Another PC: If you didn't prepare a recovery drive in advance (HINT), you'll need access to another PC to use Recover My Password.
Bottom Line
A forgotten password can lead to frustration. While creating and booting from a recovery disk or drive is an adventure for many users, it's actually quick and easy with Recover My Password Home Edition.
