Oftcrack - a testamonial

While on holiday, I found Phnufflet accessing my Windows 7 Netbook without permission. I quickly put password on my ID which had admin rights and created her an ID of her own which had less rights in order to stop her downloading/installing crap. I was angry with her at the time and because of this, managed to forget the password which I had assigned to my ID. I therefore had a machine with no access to admin rights !!!!

Enter the free utility Oftcrack which I downloaded to another machine on my return home and burned a boot disk with. Within about 5 seconds of being asked to find the password to my id, it did so and I was back in AND this was a 10 character, non trivial password

A great utility which despite some comments to the contrary, works well with Windows 7
