    Basically -- NO. All these utilities do is allow you to reset your password.

    None that I know of. Their would be no purpose of having a password if anybody with a little program could retrieve it.

    Please read the Forum Rules at bottom of page.
    Rule # 6.

    6) No discussions of hacking someones system, network, password

    Please don't open more Threads asking the same question.

    Thank you for your quick reply. But i think exist a program in Hiren's Boot that can see the password because Hiren's Boot can change and modify the password so why it can't see ?

    To the best of my knowledge we will not help hacking a password. You must know the previous password to change the password.

    There is no utility that can reveal your password because even Windows doesn't even know what it is. When a password is created Windows performs a mathematical operation on it and stores the result. The operation was specifically designed to be non reversible. When logging in the same operation is performed and the results compared. If they match you are logged in. The password itself is not stored anywhere.

    Forum rules do not permit help with hacking passwords.
