Resetting Windows password is the key to resolving your password recovery woes. How? Well, I am providing you a list of steps which you can consider in order to prepare yourself if ever need arises to recover Windows administrator password:
Use password reset disk: You can make use of a password reset disk to gain access to your Windows-based system in case you lose or forget your Windows password. Execute the following steps:

Restore the operating system: Windows password recovery can be performed by restoring the operating system. Since restoration leads to data deletion, the solution can only work if you have a clean and updated backup of your hard drive data stored somewhere else.
Use Windows Boot disk: The boot CD for Windows can be used to reset the administrator password. This disk enables you to repair Windows OS, thereby, setting your administrator password as blank.
Use password recovery software: The best solution, however, is to download a third-party software. These tools enable you to reset Windows administrator password without posing any threat to your hard drive data.
