Another interesting video tutorial made by Britec where you need also to burn from a bootable device and follow the instructions carefully.

My advice is to make a windows reset disk either with usb or dvd. then use the disk to reset admin password. And you won't lost any data in system disk

can you please show me what reset disk will work with my computer? I have a USB driver, and how can I make a reset disk?

Something I would recommend would be Offline NT Password Recovery and Registry editor to blank the password.

I like it. She has probably reset the password for her machine by now. Nearly a whole year ;)
