At this point, you can select to perform a number of actions. However, for our purpose, the first option is the one to choose. Basically, you can log into the Windows without any password. My personal recommendation would be sticking with the 1st and 2nd method. In the case of the 3rd method, the tool may not work properly.

Wait until it finished its loading, then you will be presented with the resetting screen of the program. Now, select your Windows Server system, as well as the user name that you want to reset the password for, and click the Reset button.
The tool will set the password for that account to be Spower Note: As you can see in the screenshot, aside from resetting passwords in Windows Server R2 , the program also gives you ability to add a new account with admin privileges, or delete an existing account on the machine. Once done, click the Reboot button at the bottom of the screen to restart your computer. Wait for Windows to boot to the Server R2 login screen. You will have to remove the disk from the computer after you press the "Reboot" in case the machine will boot from it again.

It is very easy to use, but only work for a local account. If you have previously created a Windows server password reset disk for the local administrator account, now you can use it to reset the password if you forgot it. Step 1: After you entered a wrong password for the local administrator when you attempted to log on, a massage will show you that the password you entered is incorrect. Step 2: There is a link for you to reset password under the password box. Click the link to continue.
Step 4: Pull down the drive list you can find the drive which contains your password reset disk. Step 5: In the next box, you can setup a brand new password for the administrator. Then you can use the new password to log on administrator.
It is very easy to do this if you have an available admin account on your computer. Step 2: Setup the computer to boot from the disc. Step 8: In the Command Prompt window, execute these commands, as shown below.
