Seems like a good program. Fortunately, Windows Vista and Windows 7 has this already built in.

You can find it in the control panel, user accounts, create a password reset disk. I'm not sure if this is built into windows XP if not it would be a handy tool to have.

So, for a Vista or Windows 7 users I find this program to be of no value as it is already built in.

Windows XP users can check it out, it may be worth the download and $29.95 in case you need it.

Thanks anyway.

@2 (Steelers6) - yes, you can create a password recovery disc in XP too. Control Panel - User Accounts - Pick an account to change - Prevent a forgotten password (in LH panel).

This could be useful. And if I worked in a IT department I would buy it. This download contains 2 programs. One you burn to a CD & boot from the CD on the Windows computer that you want to reset the password(s) on. It doesn't appear to really recover passwords, but selectively resets them. I could be in error on this recovery business. The other program, you install on a Windows computer that you temporarily connect the hard disk of the Windows computer that you want to reset the password(s) on. Running this program then allows you to reset the password(s) on the other connected Windows system. Which I won't use. I presume that the "License data:" in the readme.txt is for this installable program. I hope that the program works better than the instruction files that come with it as these are a little hard to decipher.

This giveaway is the Professional edition, which includes a Windows edition, and a boot-cd edition. They have a Home edition, which does not include a Windows edition.

The Boot-cd edition I think is adequate. You cannot use the Windows edition to reset password on the system where it is installed. It can only reset password on a 2nd OS other than the host OS (where Lazesoft Recover My Password is installed). So, the most straight forward way to reset password is simply by using the boot cd, especially when you just have one Windows OS installed.

The title of the software, "Recovery" is quite a misnomer. It does not recover your password, but actually just reset your password to blank, as if you have never set any password. If you search the internet, there are actually several sites that instruct you how to do the same (that is resetting your password to blank), using the cmd console. But since I always forget how to, I might as well make a boot-cd, for easy resetting just in case I need it again.

The setup/install window displayed non-readable characters (i.e., question marks (????)) on my screen, completely undecipherable, so I decided not to install it. I have Vista Home Premium x64 SP2 OS.

Paul Grenfell (comment #1) and others who are contemplating whether or not to download/install this software - the below description (per developer's downloaded zip file) explains how this program functions.
