That program Offline NT Password & Registry Editor will not work on Windows 8, 7, Vista, or any higher version than
Window XP. (Using it on Vista or windows 7 will cause a continuous
reboot loop.
Thanks for following up. I ran out of patience and pulled the drive out, copied files to USB from another computer and reinstalled OS.
I hope someone catches these guys, although I doubt it.
So is it now working? it could be that the boot record has gone corrupt. Not sure if you followed steps to the letter but i would suggest doing a repair install now.
Did you change the boot order? Also, type me the complete and exact message being shown before it gets stuck
What’s the final screen it can get to before looping?
Hi, I tried this solution and was able to remove the password (as far as I can tell anyways) now the computer just continues to reboot. Any Thoughts?
Thanks for the info. Which program did you use to bruteforce the issue? I’ll add your suggestion as a method to this post.
