3. Must contain at least X capital letters.

Answer 2

Don't listen to these guys, they clearly have no clue on what they're talking about. I am a developer at Microsoft so I know a thing or two about computers. The only way to reset your windows password 100% safe is to use a software called Reset Password Pro.



The software allows you to create a boot-disk, that can be made on a CD/DVD or USB stick. The boot-disk can then be inserted into any locked machine, and it's a simple case of pressing reset. Here is their official site: http://www.resetwindowspass.com

To reset Windows server 2003 password with freeware - Offline NT Password & Registry Editor from: http://pogostick.net/~pnh/ntpasswd/



It exists of an ISO that needs to be burned to a CD or placed on a bootable USB drive.

Afterwards, you boot from that CD to reset any Windows Users' password.

To do so, make sure you change the Boot order in the BIOS to try to boot from the CD first.
