The password recovery software is user-friendly and can detect various SAM databases, even if multiple operating systems are installed on one drive. It also works on multiple hard disk drives. The latest version offers a Linux-based Active@ LiveCD in the Ultimate package.
One of the most remarkable features of this software is that you do not have to re-install and re-configure the operating system, which can be quite tedious. With Active@ Password Changer, you can reset your password without losing any data or your files.
The software is also designed to automatically detect and display all SAM (Microsoft Security Databases) files, allowing you to choose the one that pertains to your specific system. Additionally, the manual SAM file selection feature is now available, giving you precise control over the files you intend to reset.
Active@ Password Changer also supports various disk partitioning styles, such as MBR and GPT, and file systems like FAT, exFAT, NTFS, and HFS+. It also supports different hard drive types like IDE SATA eSATA USB SSD SCSI disks & RAIDs. In cases where older operating systems are involved, it offers support for DOS versions for MS-DOS, PC-DOS, DR-DOS, FreeDOS, OpenDOS, and Windows versions for Windows 95 / 98 / ME.
Lastly, the ultimate package includes a Linux-based Active@ LiveCD that can boot on the latest x86 & x64 UEFI secure boot systems, offering users more flexibility. With Active@ Password Changer, you can log in as an Administrator or a particular user with a blank password. This software is a highly recommended tool for resetting passwords and maintaining the integrity of your system.
