My friend just helped me pick up my crap from a break up and I'm not sleeping tonight until I've sorted out her forgotten windows 8.1 password.
What's the best/worst way to do this?
I've been brute forcing with all combinations of what she thought it was, only account listed and I can't boot to windows because the fucking thing requires a repair or system restore. Can't do those because password.
Did a quick google, I'm downloading some bullshit .exe that google suggested but theres too kany to think any of them won't be crap?

If you have access to the machine why do you need a password?

Since when was that a board? I haven't been on in a while. But also ok. Janitors can get rid of this if they give a shit or don't give a shit. Or not, whatever.

Because she was really sure about it after I asked a bunch of times if she was sure and she was clearly wrong.
Basically for the "Ooooooohhh I'm retarded for forgetting that password" reaction.

Use Ubuntu Live CD, boot up, access the files on the Windows drive, copy the required data onto another USB.
Once you are done, format the PC and clean install Windows 10. Who gives a fuck about password anymore?

forget about it and commit to some furry shitposters reps on github instead ... better use of ur time

Search for "sticky keys method" and re-evaluate why you are still using windows.

Came here to post this.
Windows physical security is a joke
You don't need to crack the password...you can just delete it a la NTpasswd
