This situation arise due to windows administrator account because By Default, Windows 7 administrator accounts comes in disabled mode.

This utility will erase your old password and you will login without any password to your system. After that you can set another password, the best way is to create two users and write your password to some place where you can access any time. You can use any password database to store your passwords like keypass.

How to make a Bootable USB drive

  • Copy all the files that are inside the usbXXXXXX.zip or on the CD onto a USB drive, directly on the drive, not inside any directory/folder.
  • It is OK if there are other files on the USB drive from before, they will not be removed.
  • Install bootloader on the USB drive, from command prompt in windows (start the command line with “run as administrator” if possible)
    • X:syslinux.exe -ma X:
  • Replace X: with the drive letter the USB drive shows up as (DO NOT USE C:)
  • If it seems like nothing happened, it is usually done.
  • However, a file named ldlinux.sys may appear on the USB drive, that is normal.
  • It should now in theory be bootable.
  • Please know that getting some computers to boot from USB is worse than from CD, you may have to change settings, or some will not simply work at all.

  1. I have tried the ISO image but it doesn’t work with my Windows 8 laptop. Eventually I removed the password using PCUnlocker Live CD.
