# Download a reliable third part utility (here, take Windows Password Unlocker 4.0 for example:http://www.passwordunlocker.com) and save it to your hard disk. Take note of what folder you saved the file in
# Burn the downloaded ISO file onto a CD. * To burn your CD, you'll need a blank CD-R . * If you are familiar with burning .iso image files you may use any software you already have such as Nero, Sonic, Roxio etc. If you need burning software we provide one of the best solutions on the market called BurnCDCC.Put in your newly created CD and remove your Windows password.
