PC login Now 2.0 window

PC Login Now was one of the best windows password recovery tool I have ever used. PC Login Now comes with very friendly user interface. PC Login Now is an offline password resetting tool which will delete your desired user login information( username and password). Like maximum of other tools it is also offline tool. As I found it very friendly for all users, I made a tutorial on PC Login Now at How to reset windows (NT) XP, 7 password with PC Login Now. Some of my friends reported that, I is not working with their motherboard. I’m not sure why it is occurring but It worked for me.

2. Koon Boot :

Koon-Boot windows password recovery tool

Kon-Boot is a very tiny tool which can be used to recover both windows and Linux operating system. It allows to log into Linux “root” without password authentication. It also allows to enter into password protected accounts in windows. though it was mainly created for ubuntu, it now also works for some other Linux Distros. Kon-Boot was written in pure x86 assembly, using old grandpa-geezer TASM 4.0 and Kon-Boot was designed to work on X86-32 architectures only.

Normally kon-boot is compatible from CD. But you can also use it from USB/pendrive by taking help on  from Raymond’s forum or on  Kon-Boot USB tutorial on IronGeek. I haven’t been able to get LCP to work for me. If you can use it, please leave comment.

PERIOD.Mortal Kompats don't belong on this list, as they did nothing for gaming other than the rating system & Ultra Hype that evaporates after a wek of playing unlike SF, also pick one of EarthWorm Jims not 1&2, they're almost identical.Also StarFox was just good, i bought it, got boring in a couple of weeks.
