Step 2: Now, insert the bootable thumb drive or CD/DVD to your locked computer and keep pressing the F2 function on your keyboard to launch the boot device options. Simply, choose the bootable disc to boot from and press Enter to continue.

Step 3: Ultimate Boot CD will be loaded on the startup screen and it will provide tons of options to choose from. Simply, use the arrow buttons on your keyboard to navigate through the options and choose “Parted Magic” then press Enter.

Step 4: On the next screen, you will be asked for the graphics settings, simple Press 1 to load the default graphical interface and hit Enter to launch the UBCD program.

Step 5: From the bottom left corner, click on “System Tools” > “Change Windows Password”.

Step 6: A new pop up window will appear and choose where you have installed the operating system to open “chntpw” console utility.

Step 7: From the main console menu that pretty much looks like a command prompt window, press 1 to show all the user accounts registered on your PC.

Step 8: Again, press 1 to clear the password from your computer and press enter to save the changes.

Step 9: Finally, press “Q” to quit from the console and tap on “Y” to apply the effects.
