Reset windows password

I would like to place a "Forgot password" option to the windows logon screen and point to a script that connects to the AD and reset the password, so that the user can reset the password itself with some security checks.

I could build the script, but I am looking if there is an option to do so at the logon screen.

Thank you for your help in advance.

  • Reset the password of Windows on a NB250

    Is there a solution to the following problem?

    My children has changed and I forgot the password of windows for our NB250. I have a Bios password which comes first. We need to use this computer for school, so your help is very appreciated. Questions:

    I do not have the windows password
    There is not an administrator account
    We have Windows 7 starter system
    I tried pressing zero and hold after you type in the Bios pw - nothing
    I don't have a flash drive or another password reset file

    Any ideas?

    Stand by. You mean BIOS password and Windows user account.
    I guess that the BIOS password is known to you and you can start the laptop correctly, but you cannot log on Windows by using the Windows user account.

    Is this correct?

    In case you want to reset the password of Windows I recommend to check this page from Microsoft:

    + If you forget the administrator password and you do not have a password reset disk or another administrator account, you will not be able to reset the password.

  • Re: How to reset / recover forgotten Windows password

    Forgetting your Windows administrator login password.
    With no way to get into the system, you can perform even basic maintenance, and still less a complete tune up.
    Formatting is always an option, but we consider that a last resort. (In addition, guess who's going to help to reinstall all the programs lost after a wipe?)

    But all hope is not lost.
    There are several ways to recover a password account Windows lost. Read on, and we'll show you the light.

    _1st method: _

    The first thing check you if you forget the password. When we install windows, it automatically creates an account 'Administrator' and affects his empty password. So if you have forgotten your user account password then try this:

    Start system and when you see Windows Welcome screen / login screen, press ctrl + alt + delete twice and it'll show classic login box. Now type "Administrator" user name (without the quotes) and leave the field blank password. Now, press Enter and you should be able to log on to Windows.

    Now you can reset your password to "user accounts of-> Control Panel.

    Same thing can be done in Mode without failure. In Safe Mode Windows will display this account of administrator in the login screen.

    Method _2th: _

    There are many password crackers and Windows developers.

    This tool only works on NTFS partitions, but it works very well! You can even use it to copy the data from one place to another. But this isn't for free.
