Got a mate that just got a laptop for xmas and her mum put a password on it....and forgot it!!!:(

Didnt make a password reset disk either. :(

Is there any free software that can recovery it?

cheers and merry xmas :)
 
ophcrack will tell you what it is

its about 400mb though, download the live iso image and use imgburn to burn it
 
cheers for the tips but unfortunately got no where with any of them :(

Need the nthash files for ophcrack and its a bity out of my price range :)

nothing important on it so just going to do a clean install

cheers for all the help :)
 
yep so was i :(

That one wouldnt mount the volume that vista was on for some reason even after a clean shut down as per instructions.

Handy tool and knowledge aquired though for future problems :)
