Active Password Changer is a DOS-based solution designed for resetting local administrator and user passwords on Windows XP / 2003 / 2000 / NT systems in case an Administrators password is forgotten or lost. You do not need to re-install and re-configure the operating system in this case.

Forgotten password recovery software has a simple FDISK-like user interface, supports multiple hard disk drives, is able to detect several SAM databases (in case multiple OS were installed on one volume) and pick the right one before starting the password recovery process.

A list of local users is displayed, you just need to choose the one to reset the password for. It also resets User is Disabled flag (if any) and sets Password never expires to avoid possible user blocking after password has been reset.
With Active Password Changer you can log in as a particular user with a blank password.
