If you forget
your Administrator password here is trick that help you to reset your
administrator password or make it empty just by the use of this small tool
called Offline
NT Password & Registry Editor. This utility works offline, that means
you need to shut down your computer and boot off your using a floppy disk, CD
or USB device (such as pen drive). The tool has the following features.
Ø
You
do not need to know the old password to set a new one
Ø
Will
detect and offer to unlock locked or disabled out user accounts!
Ø
There
is also a registry editor and other registry utilities that works under
linux/unix, and can be used for other things than password editing.
How it works?
Most Windows
operating systems stores the login passwords and other encrypted passwords in a
file called sam (Security Accounts Manager). This file can be usually found in
\windows\system32\config. This file is a part of Windows registry and remains
inaccessible as long as the OS is active. Hence it is necessary that you need
to boot off your computer and access this sam file via boot. This tool
intelligently gains access to this file and will reset/remove the password
associated with administrator or any other account.
The download
link for both CD and floppy drives along with the complete instructions is
given below
It is
recommended that you download the CD version of the tool since floppy drive is
outdated and doesn’t exist in today’s computer. Once you download you’ll get a
bootable image which you need to burn it onto your CD. Now boot your computer
from this CD and follow the screen instructions to reset the password.

these steps you can simply reset Password of any Non-Administrator Account for
