Barry, i'm guessing you're not talking about the link I gave you, because the simple act of reading would have given you this...

* Now with Vista support! 32 & 64 bit. (NTFS filesystem driver now supports Vista)
* CD has better driver support, changed quite a bit.
* Mostly cosmetical changes to "chntpw" program.
* Main password reset and regedit (chntpw + ntreg) code now made GPL licensed, for those of you who care. Source available at the source page.

And I'm almost positive you can read.


The app works on Vista, i've used it several times when people bring me a computer to fix but fail to give me the passwords.

You can reset the password on an account, but you cannot retrieve the password (the system doesn't even know it).

Assuming you don't have any encrypted (EFS) data, then resetting the password will work.
