Quick instructions on using Kon-Boot to bypass a Windows password

1. Download Kon-Boot from here: http://www.piotrbania.com/all/kon-boot/data/CD-konboot-v1.1-2in1.zip
2. Unzip the .iso file somewhere
3. Burn it to a CD
4. Quickly power on the machine (that you want to bypass the password on) and insert the CD that you created in the
5. If you don’t see a Kon-Boot screen and it boots into windows you will need to change your bios settings or find the boot menu (typically F12) to change the boot device to the cdrom drive instead of the hard drive
6. Let it boot into windows. Hopefully there is already a username in the username field. Try anything in the password field. If there was nothing in the username field, try administrator and then put in any password.
7. Once you get in, change the windows password OR create yourself a new account.
