The four methods are great for forgotten Windows 8 password recovery. The first two if you have I will recommend you to try them. And if not, the last two will be better, especially the last one. For the last way I prefer to Anmosoft Windows Password Reset.
ReplyDeleteThe four ways you introduced I will choose the last two if I need to reset Windows 8 password one day. For that two, Ophcrack is free reset program and cannot guarantee 100% reset and is not suitable all systems. Those problems I think the last way can help solve. And another software I want to recommend, Windows Login Recovery, which I tried before.
ReplyDeleteThe four ways you introduced I have tried when I was locked in Windows 8 last time. But unfortunately the ahead three methods did not help me, and I also choose the last one. But I used another software, which seems to be cheaper than that one, Windows Password Killer

ReplyDeleteThis is what I've learned working as a computer tech from 1999 to present. The one thing about Windows 8 passwords is that it can removed using third-party software if the account in question is local. However, if the account was created using the Microsoft-forced method of an online account such 123@outlook.com then you're "s-o-o-l" since half of the authentication occurred on Microsoft server and good luck in changing that; believe me, I've tried on numerous occasions and failed. May be I'm doing right, perhaps! My advice is that before you laid down your hard earned money for Option 4 make sure it worked for you first then hand over the money.
