How to Bypass Local Administrator Password in Windows 10, 8, 7 and XP

If you've forgotten your local administrator password, there are a few ways to bypass it and regain access to your Windows 10, 8, 7 or XP computer. One popular way is to use a bootable CD or USB drive with a utility like Kon-Boot. This method works because Kon-Boot bypasses the Windows password authentication without changing or deleting any files.

Another way to bypass the local administrator password is to use the Recovery Console. The Recovery Console is a text-based console that can be accessed by booting from your Windows installation disc. Once you've booted into the Recovery Console, you can use the "net user" command to change the password of any user account on the computer, including the administrator account.

If you don't have a bootable CD or USB drive, you can also use the "Safe Mode with Command Prompt" option to access the Recovery Console. To do this, restart your computer and press F8 before Windows starts loading. When the "Advanced Boot Options" menu appears, select "Safe Mode with Command Prompt". At the command prompt, type "net user" to change the password of any user account on the computer.

If you're still unable to bypass the local administrator password, you can use a third-party utility like Ophcrack. Ophcrack is a free utility that can crack most Windows passwords. To use Ophcrack, you'll need to download the live CD version and burn it to a blank CD or USB drive. Once you've done this, boot from the Ophcrack CD or USB drive and follow the prompts. Ophcrack will automatically crack the passwords of any user accounts it finds on the computer.

Kon-Boot is the best solution to bypass local administrator password in Windows 10, 8, 7 and XP. It is a free utility that can bypass the password authentication without changing or deleting any files.
