windows 8 password crack
hi, can anyone recommend a good password cracking software that can either clear passwords for administrator or see the password for administrator. Our client cannot access his laptop and it won't let us boot in to the windows side.
Thanks
Chris

I used mine offen on 8/8.1, always worked. What happened?
By the way, it would remove the password and blank it. It would also eventually be used to enable accounts.
How far did you get?

Even with a medium strength password (8-10 characters, only letters and numbers) you may spend days trying to recover it.
You only need 5 min to remove it, so...

The question was:

This question has valid answers. That the OP did not use any of the answers and decided to reinstall Windows does not mean the solutions are not correct.
