How to Bypass Windows Admin Account Password Of Vista, XP, Windows 8

It is not rare that users forget the password set for the Windows administrator account. Though Microsoft does not support password recovery, there are some methods to bypass the forgotten Windows admin account login details. This tutorial explains some well-known procedures to bypass the Windows account login details for  Vista, Windows 8, 7, 10 and  XP. It is important to understand, the successful procedure to bypass admin sign in for  Vista may not work for Windows 8 and vice versa. So I recommend you to read this tutorial carefully and choose the best method to recover or reset forgotten MS admin account login information.


In XP computers, it is easy to access the computer even though you forgot the administrator password. We can bypass the Windows XP administrator account by using the default XP admin account created while installing OS on this computer. In most cases, this default admin account is not password protected. So to bypass Windows XP admin login, follow the steps below.

1. Restart Computer in Safe Mode
   
   
2. When shows, select the default admin
   

In Vista, we can bypass admin authentication with an Emergency Repair Disk commander. So at first make sure you have Emergency Repair Disk for your Vista computer.

1. Create an Emergency Repair Disk
   
   
   • Go to All Programs from Start
     
     
   • Click Accessories and go to System Tools
     
     
   • Click on Backup and select full information and write it to a disc
   
   
2. Use ER Disc to Bypass Vista Admin Password
   
   
   • Change BIOS Settings
     
     Go to BIOS by pressing [Del] or [F2] button while booting your computer. The key to access BIOS may change depends on your motherboard. In BIOS select first boot device as Disc.
     
     
   • Insert ER Disc and boot your computer
     
     
   • Your Computer boots from ER disc and click start
     
     
   • Go to System Tools and click LOCKSMITH
     
     
   • Select the account you want to reset the current login details. Enter new key and log off
     
     
   • Eject the CD and restart your computer

We have plenty of third-party tools offering services to reset Microsoft Operating System Administrative password. Here let us check how to reset Admin access using a third-party Windows password recovery tool, PC Login. Since it is a third party tool, users are advised to use it at their own risk.

1. Burn the software to CD and reboot your computer with CD
   
   
2. Since the first booting device in BIOS is CD, your computer boots from CD
   
   
   
3. Now PC login will find the Operating Systems installed on your computer. For multiple OS you should select the OS.
   
   
   
4. Select the user account
   
   We need to select the user account which needs to bypass the authentication.
   
   
   
5. Show the account properties
   
   Here we see the five properties of an account.
   
   
   • Administrator
     if the account has the Administrator privilege. It is useful if you need the administrator privilege to run a certain program;
     
     
   • The password is empty: if the password of the account is empty
     
     
   • The password is disabled: if the account has been disabled due to the operation of Administrator or the system rules;
     
     
   • The password is locked out: if the account has been locked out
     
     
   • Password never expires: if the account has to set a sign in details every time when login
   
   
6. We should select the box administrator and password empty.
   
   
   Then click on next
   
   
7. Reboot your computer
