Reset Windows 7/8 or Vista Password(all account are blocked)

If you forgot the admin password and have no other account with administrator rights. This is explain a simple method to reset the Windows password for,Windows 8, Windows 7, Vista, Windows XP. All you need is a copy of the Windows installation disk or usb and one simple command line trick.
Steps:
 Boot off the Windows disk and select the “Repair your computer” option from the lower left-hand corner.

Follow through until you get to the option to open the Command Prompt, which you’ll want to select.
 First you’ll want to type in the following command to backup the original sticky keys file:
 copy c:\windows\system32\sethc.exe c:\

Then you’ll copy the command prompt executable (cmd.exe) over top of the sticky keys executable:
copy c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe c:\windows\system32\sethc.exe


Now you can reboot the PC.

Then Resetting the Password,
Once you get to the login screen, hit the Shift key 5 times, and you’ll see an administrator mode command prompt.
Now to reset the password—just type the following command, replacing the username and password with the combination you want:
net user Home 123456
Home is the username of the computer and 123456 is the password. Replace both as you wish.
That’s all there is to it. Now you can login.
Of course, you’ll probably want to put the original sethc.exe file back, which you can do by rebooting into the installation CD, opening the command prompt, and copying the c:\sethc.exe file back to c:\windows\system32\sethc.exe.
