After downloading the Ophcrack LiveCD software, you'll need to burn the ISO file to a CD.

Burning an ISO file to a CD is a little different than burning music or other kinds of files to a CD. If you've never burned an ISO file to a disc before, I recommend following the instructions I linked to in the last sentence. It's not a difficult process, but there are very important differences that you need to be aware of.

Note: If the ISO file is not burned correctly, Ophcrack LiveCD will not work at all.

After burning the Ophcrack LiveCD ISO file to a CD, go to the computer that you can't get into and continue to the next step.
