DISK contains unclean partion
I'm trying to boot using my password recovery CD, I'm able to boot to the CD. However I'm unable to mount the windows partation, it's saying "The System is hibernated, If you want to force changes hibernated session will be lost". I try to force it but it fails says the disk contains an unclean file system. I cannot log into windows because I forgot my password. So I'm looking for a tool that can scan / repair the disk without having to log into windows.

I assume this is Windows 10 you're working with? After you boot with your CD, press Shift+F10 to get a command prompt. Identify the drive letter of the affected disk and then try a chkdsk /f command on it. That may help you out.
