Reset Windows Password

Recover and modify lost passwords and accounts, delete sensitive data and dump domain cached credentials using this comprehensive tool.

Reset Windows Password is a straightforward utility that claims to reset and modify passwords of local users and administrators effortlessly.

As its name states, the application is able to reset, change and recover Windows logon passwords lost due to system crashes, virus attacks or unauthorized permissions. You are able to recover or bypass all types of account passwords including Active Directory accounts and domain administrators.

The main window of the utility is carried out in the form of a step-by-step wizard that will guide you through the steps of resetting or recovering your lost passwords.

Select the recovery mode you want such as SAM (that works with regular user accounts) or AD (that is mostly used when you want to recover Active Directory accounts).

As you make the selection, the tasks list shows all the available operations for the current job. This way, you are able to dump password hashes to text files, remove user sensitive information or restore previously modified password or data.

After the first step is completed, you are allowed to choose the user account you want to reset the password for.

Then, you are able to easily enter the new password for the account you selected or set blank password to reset it. However, you need to pay special attention to additional options because Windows will decline the password if the account is locked or disabled.

The utility works with Active Directory as well, so administrators who need to manage, control and track multiple user accounts are able to recover lost passwords within seconds. It also allows you to disable the password expiry option and dump user password hashes from SAM for further analysis.

All in all, Reset Windows Password enables you to unlock user accounts and recover passwords effortlessly, without the need of advanced configurations.

Lazesoft Recover My Password Home Edition

Accessible, powerful and user-friendly piece of software that enables you to quickly recover the forgotten administrator password.

Lazesoft Recover My Password Home Edition is a powerful application that allows you to reset your Windows password and gain access to your account, even if you’ve forgotten the login credentials.

Such scenarios are difficult to handle, as the classic solution is to reinstall the OS, which obviously results in loosing all of the data stored on the C drive. In order to avoid severe consequences, you can try solving the situation with a third-party utility like Lazesoft Recover My Password Home Edition.

The application can clear your credentials by creating a bootable CD or USB flash drive, allowing you to reset the old password to blank and therefore, to access your Windows account without having to reinstall the OS.

The application relies on an easy-to-use wizard that guides you through the whole process of creating a bootable device. You will be presented with three options: you can opt for the generation of a bootable CD / DVD, USB Flash or an ISO recovery image, all of which are equally efficient.

The result of this process is the answer to all your problems. Simply configure the boot sequence in the BIOS to match the type of image you’ve created (for instance, if you chose the USB option, you’ll need to set USB as a primary boot device) and proceed with the operation until you reach another wizard that allows you to select the account to be reset.

It all ends with a password-free Windows account that you’ll be able to access once you’ve undergone all the operations imposed by the application.

However, the approach that Lazesoft Recover My Password Home Edition uses is nothing new to the software market dedicated to password recovery to the point where we can’t highlight the differences of functionality between it and similar utilities. Being a home edition, it’s free to use for non-commercial purposes, which is to be appreciated.

NordPass

Don't worry about forgetting passwords ever again with the help of this comprehensive password manager coming from the cybersecurity team behind NordVPN.

Considering just how daunting the Internet can be nowadays in terms of security, having strong passwords, as well as a safe place where to keep them is quite valuable. That’s exactly why password managers have been, are, and will always be important.

If you were to search the web for a list of top password managers, the results will most probably point to a few staple products such as Dashlane, LastPass, Keeper, Enpass, and 1Password for Mac users.

Here’s the thing: we think that there’s one that’s missing from these lists, and that’s NordVPN’s password manager - NordPass. The first thing you need to know about NordPass is that it’s best defined by its two main focus points: security and simplicity.

It’s not the most feature-packed password manager out there as it does not have an overwhelming number of bonus features, but, trust us on this one, that is not a bad thing.

The most obvious question: How safe is NordPass?

Well, considering that it comes from the cybersecurity team that developed and maintain NordVPN (one of the most popular and well-regarded VPN services), you might be tempted to say that it should be very safe. And, we’re happy to say that you’re not wrong. While most password managers out there use fairly similar encryption technology (aka the popular and proven AES algorithm), NordPass uses something called the XChaCha20 encryption algorithm.

There’s a lot to say about it, but to make it worth the read without boring you, we’ll just say that it’s supposedly less vulnerable to various types of cyberattacks such as “cache timing” attacks; and it’s kept in pretty high regard by various security experts who even call it “the future of encryption.” Of course, it also has all the high-tech security goodies such as biometric authorization and two-factor authentication. Safe to say, security is actually NordPass’ main selling point.

Everything the day-to-day user needs in a password manager

While we mentioned that the app is focused on simplicity, do not think even for a second that NordPass lacks important features. That said, encryption tech aside, the app has a nifty vault for storing and organizing all your credentials such as complex passwords, adjacent login information, online auto-fills and forms, secure notes, credit card info, and pretty much whatever else you want.

Since privacy is more important than ever, NordPass allows you to share passwords with the people you trust in a safe and secure manner. Want to make sure that your accounts are as safe as possible? No problem, NordPass also has a password generator. Your vault can be effortlessly exported as a CSV file, and you can also import data from other password managers and even from browsers.

Being able to access your passwords anytime from anywhere is paramount. NordPass syncs your passwords across all your devices (up to 6 devices – Premium only). It comes with support for Windows, macOS, and Linux, as well as mobile platforms such as Android and iOS, and it also has bespoke extensions for Firefox, Edge, Opera, Chrome, and Brave.

Final question: Should I choose NordPass?

The answer is YES, you definitely should! It’s true that NordPass is nowhere near as “gimmicky” as other full-featured password managers out there, and it also can’t match their enterprise-scale automation and collaboration features.

However, it is backed up by one of the most exciting pieces of new encryption technology out there, the desktop app works flawlessly and is remarkably user-friendly with a simple and attractive design.

It has support for all popular platforms, has excellent browser support, and it does the basic tasks incredibly well. Lastly, it’s very competitively priced.

Sticky Password

User-friendly program that helps you store passwords, bookmarks, identity details and secure memos while offering support for browser add-ons.

Sticky Password is a password manager that can help you with keeping your countersigns safe and, at the same time, have easy access to them. Apart from passwords the application can also store bookmarks, identity details and secure memos.

Support for web browser add-ons

In order to make everything easy to use, the developer includes the possibility to integrate the application into all popular web browsers (Firefox, Opera, Safari, Google Chrome, Maxthon and Internet Explorer ), as well as less popular ones, through the “caption button.”

This is practically an add-on that sits in the top right corner of the web browser and besides offering quick access to stored entries it is also responsible for detecting form fields and capturing the credentials for adding them to the database.

Store your credentials

Working with the program is pretty easy because the moment you punch in the user name and password to log into a web account Sticky Password prompts you to store the credentials. The moment you need to log in again it fills the required fields automatically. This happens regardless of the web browser you use, as long as the “caption button” is installed.

Portable mode and master password

Sticky Password can be used as a portable application, which can be carried on a removable device. Thus, you have access to all log-in credentials, bookmarks and identities on the go. Access to the data can be protected through a master password, which is evaluated on the spot in terms of strength.

Bottom line

However, this being the free version, there are some limitations, and these apply to the amount of entries that can be stored in the database. The maximum number of accounts it can hold is 15 while identities are restricted to only one. For most average users this should be quite enough, though. The trial for the full application is available here.
