You can log on as administrator on safe mode. Press F8 when you start
the computer and choose Safe Mode to get in. If you can not log in safe
mode, try the tool bellow, it is the best method without lose anything.
In consideration of remaining all programs and data of the computer, I
recommend you to use a password tool: Windows Password Recovery Tool
3.0. It supports all versions of Windows operation system. Recover
Windows password without lose anything. Here are the simple guide:
Step 1: Download Windows Password Recovery Tool 3.0 and install it in
any available computer
Step 2: Burn a bootable CD/DVD or USB flash drive
Step 3: BIOS settings of your locked computer to make it boot from
CD/DVD or USB flash drive
Step 4: Reset Windows password successfully

The subject is the password of the TrueCrypt volume, not the user's
Windows password :-)


No, it isn't. The subject is the OP asking for opinions on TrueCrypt
and never mentioned any password.


The post that brandonadedw answered was in fact discussing the
passwords of the TrueCrypt volume. You should know - you wrote it.

Here's a part of your post:
"You can even protect yourself if forced at gun point to reveal your
password. You can have 2 passwords on a TrueCrypt container file: one
for the outer layer of the container containing bogus or non-sensitive
files and another for the inner layer where is your sensitive data..."

If brandonadedw wasn't referring to that, he was lost in a net-warp.


Yes, I mentioned passwords. If that's what brandon triggered on, he
went off on some wild unrelated tangent. Since Windows passwords are
unrelated to TrueCrypt passwords then it sure seems like he was
responding to something completely different. He was NOT discussing the
passwords for TrueCrypt. Instead he talked about Windows passwords, a
recovery tool for those, burning CDs, and the BIOS - none of which has
to do with installing or using TrueCrypt. That "password" was a common
word in my post and his doesn't mean he made an apropos reply. There
are a lot of words in his post that I also used in mine.

Reminds of being at a party and someone joins late in a discussion to
blurt out an unrelated remark. Everyone else turns to the blurter with
a WTF look on their faces.

Oh well, could be Brandon made an innocent blunder; however, he did
afford some header info on which to update a flag on yet another
webnews-for-boobs leeching gateway to Usenet.
