Have you forgotten your XP, Vista or Windows 7 logon password? Sure, there are a few workarounds to access your account using a bootable Linux CD but they are time-consuming and boring as you need to go through a long procedure.
In this guide, we will show you how to bypass a Windows 7 logon password in just two steps. And we are using a free tool to make this happen. So, here is the procedure to bypass Windows 7 logon password:
Bypass Windows 7 logon password with Kon-Boot
1. Download the Kon-Boot CD-ISO ZIP file (it’s a tiny file) and extract it to get the ISO file. Burn the ISO file to a CD/DVD to create a bootable Kon-Boot CD/DVD.
2. Before inserting the CD/DVD make sure that you have made necessary changes to boot priority setting in the BIOS so that you can boot from CD/DVD. Insert the CD/DVD into the optical drive and restart your machine. In a few seconds you will see the following screen of Kon-Boot.
Simply hit Enter and wait for a few seconds.
3. You should see the logon screen and with a password prompt. Simply press Enter key to bypass the forgot logon password. That’s it!
We have tested this tool on Windows 7 Ultimate x86, but it should work fine on XP and Vista too. Good luck!
Note: Use this method and tool for your personal use only.

KonBoot works up to Windows8.
Everyone who’s having a problem with KonBoot should learn the basics of computer use before trying to bypass logins

I know a tool Windows Password Breaker can easily reset Windows log on password to blank, it works well on Windows 7.
Dyllon says
I tried this on my sisters’s window 7 starter edition and before it boots windows, it restarts and asks me to run a system recovery…
admin says
I haven’t tested it on USB. But should work fine.
baptiste says
is it possible to boot from USB? cause there are other files like: FD0 konboot
the hell is that?

You need to burn the file to the CD NOT copy it over.
Use ImgBurn to do this http://www.imgburn.com/
Von says
Please, I followed the steps you recommended, and the CD does not boot. I have copied the 2 files to a new cd and set my laptop to boot from the CD drive, and it does not work. What am I missing please. Does copying the files to the CD guarantee that it has become a bootable CD. PLease let me know/
dret says
This is FUCKING stupid and waste of time to of even read.
Nathan says
This does not work on Windows 7 64 bit (x64) on any SKU (Home Premium, Pro, Ultimate)

I’ve seen this before. Kryptos Logic owns the program now (and charges for it) but they have not updated it. So far they have responded me twice giving release timeframes but not holding up to them at all. The Kryptos Logic version is crippled in removing linux support but adds usb boot capability to the mix so could be a mixed bag.
No I can’t distribute the version purchased from Kryptos Logic.
