  1. Cain & Abel is very useful when we need to recover the original password. But it usually takes a long time for cracking. I prefer to remove forgotten password with PCUnlocker Live CD, which is instant and easier.

  2. I also tried Ophcrack when last time I forgot my Windows 7 password after a long trail. So I have to search the other tools in Google. After trying and comparing I found Anmosoft Windows Password Reset is really the best choice. It is safe and effective. The most important is that is simple for me. I like it.
