Offline NT Password & Registry Editor: Reset Passwords and Edit Registry

A bootable CD/USB solution for Windows NT/2000/XP/Vista/7/8/10 systems, allowing password reset, permission changes, and offline registry editing without login.

What is Offline NT Password & Registry Editor?

Offline NT Password & Registry Editor is a free, bootable CD or USB drive that allows an administrator to reset, change or clear forgotten Windows account passwords, including domain passwords. It works by booting the target system from the CD or USB into Linux, mounting the Windows system drive, and editing the Security Account Manager (SAM) database file that contains password hashes.

Key features include:

  • Resetting local and domain account passwords without knowing the old passwords
  • Easily create new administrator and other accounts
  • Enable/disable accounts and change account types
  • Edit the registry while Windows is not running
  • Works with Windows NT, 2000, XP, Vista, 7, 8, 10 and Windows Server versions
  • Can reset local account passwords, like the admin or root password
  • Supports FAT, NTFS, and EXT formatted partitions

As it does not require Windows to be running or login access, it is useful for recovering access when passwords are lost or forgotten. It is also handy for some administration tasks like user management. The ability to offline edit the registry can help recover damaged Windows installations or disable security features to enable logging in. Overall, this is an essential password recovery and Windows administration tool for any IT professional.
