Reset Windows 8 passwords
« on: September 11, 2013, 07:11:05 am »
Just curious how do you guys reset a local and live account passwords on windows 8. The live account seems like its only possible to do via microsoft's website, but what if a client has no idea of the password or retrieval info? Is there a way to remove the password from the machine itself or even overwrite the password?

I normally use an boot cd with this tool
http://pogostick.net/~pnh/ntpasswd/

It supports up to Windows 7, I havent tried it on 8.
