In a Hurry?: Read my review below or skip to the complete step-by-step guide to PC Login Now.
PC Login Now doesn't display your password like the popular Ophcrack, a free Windows password recovery tool. PC Login Now actually deletes your password, allowing access to Windows without a password at all.
Update: PC Login Now used to be free but no longer is.** Offline NT Password & Registry Editor is a similar program and is free.

PC Login Now 2.0 is an amazing password recovery tool but instead of "recovering" your password, it deletes it, allowing unrestricted access to Windows.
To get started, visit the PC Login Now download page by clicking the Visit Their Web Site link below. Once there, click on the Download button to begin downloading the 55MB ISO file.**
Once downloaded, burn the ISO image to a CD. Burning an ISO file is different than burning a normal file. 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. PC Login Now will start automatically.
To delete your password, follow the instructions on screen. Choose your operating system installation and then the user name that you want the password deleted for. Be sure to check the password is empty checkbox after choosing your user name. This will remove the password.
Your password will be removed instantly and you'll be asked if you want to reset another user. Choose No and then OK to reboot. You'll see some commands and then your computer will restart. Remove the CD as soon as the computer reboots. If you don't remove it in time PC Login Now will start again. If that happens, just remove the CD and restart manually.
One downfall of using PC Login Now is that it causes Windows to detect a possible hard drive issue. I've never actually seen hard drive damage after using this tool.
Log in as you normally do but do not enter anything in the password field. You're in!
Once Windows loads, create a new password that you can remember.
PC Login Now is a fantastic tool that requires a bit of preparation but is completely worth the effort!
**PC Login Now is billed on their site as "free" but it isn't. You need to own one of their "PC Disk Tools" applications to download PC Login Now, the least expensive of which is $20USD.
