There was a time I was formatting my Windows desktop computer and the funny thing is that no sooner did I set the password than I forgot it. I know you are wondering, “Who does that?” Well, believe it or not, it happened. When the installation process was complete, I had to enter the password to access the only account that is available on a newly formatted Windows computer, but since I wasn’t paying attention to the password I entered during the installation process, I couldn’t log in. I was forced to format the machine again to proceed, and I had to waste another hour. Now that I know of the iSunshare Windows Password Genius software, I wish I knew about it then because it would have saved me time and a lot of frustration.

The iSunshare Windows Password Genius is a tool that enables you to reset a Windows account in case you’ve forgotten the password. It is a robust Windows tool that can reset Windows user accounts in various scenarios. Regardless of whether it is a normal user account or an administrator account, this tool is powerful enough to reset it for you. In addition, it does not matter which version of the Windows OS you are using. Whether it is Windows 2000, XP, Vista, 7, 8, 8.1, or 10, the software will reset the account for you. It also works perfectly well with the Windows Network OS versions like Windows Server 2000, 2003, 2008, 2012, or 2016. If it is a Windows OS, chances are that the iSunshare Windows Password Genius software will work perfectly well with. There is also a Mac and Android version of the software for those who are on these platforms.

So, how exactly does it work?

To reset an account, it is as simple as the following 4 easy steps:

1. Create a password reset disk.

Considering that the computer you’ll want to reset the Windows account for will be locked and inaccessible, you won’t be able to run the iSunshare Windows Password Genius software on it. That means you’ll need another computer to create a reset disk. Windows does have a feature for creating a password reset disk but it only works if you already have access to an account, as that’s how it will enable you to create the reset disk. However, in this case, you are locked out and you don’t already have a Windows reset disk created. That’s where this Windows password recovery tool comes in handy and proves to be essential. So, get another machine and create the reset disk.

2. Boot the locked computer from the password reset disk.

This option requires just a tiny bit of computer “know how” to work. If you don’t know how to boot from a USB drive, chances are that you may not possess the required knowledge to perform this step. But don’t despair, this is information you can acquire with from a Google search. Alternatively and preferably, if you have a friend who is friendlier with computers, he or she may be the better option because it will take them just a few minutes to get things up and running for you. Otherwise, if you are up to the task, iSunshare has prepared a section for you on their website where they show you how to access the boot menu for various brands of PCs (appendix 1 at the bottom of the page). You can use that to help you boot from the reset disk so that you can perform the next step.

3. Reset the locked account.

Honestly, step two is the only step that may be a bit challenging for some. It is not difficult at all. It is just that some people may not know much about computers and some terminologies may not be favorable to them, let alone trying to access the BIOS setup or BOOT options. Anyway, your next step is to actually reset the locked account and give it a new password. You can also create a new account if you want as the iSunshare Windows Password Genius software gives you the option to create a new account from within the software.

4. Reboot your computer and log in to the account.

It is as simple as that. The iSunshare Windows Password Genius is a very powerful tool that anyone who would like to access a Windows account whose password cannot be recalled will find useful.
