To begin, visit the Offline NT Password & Registry Editor website by clicking the Visit Their Web Site link below. Once there, scroll down to the "Download" section near the bottom of the page.

Once downloaded, extract the ISO file from the ZIP file and burn the ISO image to a CD. Burning an ISO file is different than burning a normal file so if you need help please see How to Burn an ISO File to a CD.
After burning, boot from the CD by rebooting with the disc still in the drive. Offline NT Password & Registry Editor will start automatically.
After that, just follow the instructions on screen. See my step by step guide with screenshots if you need help.
When Offline NT Password & Registry Editor finally deletes your password, remove the CD from the drive. Reset your computer and log in as you normally do but do not enter anything in the password field. You're in!
Once Windows loads, create a new Windows password that you can remember:
