Hi,
A friend has managed to set up their new Windows 7 Home Premium Dell Inspiron and forgot the password they have used. I have tried the following password reset software to no avail:
- UBCD
- OHPCrack
- Offline NT Password & Registry Editor *Trinity
- Kon Boot
I have also tried to do a system restore but this asks for the password. The user does not have any data they need to save. Is there anyway I can get access to the restore partition using Linux to create a recovery disk or do I have to purchase a recovery disk from Dell?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
