<p>
<h3>Get Started</h3>
<p>Go to passwordunlocker.com and download Windows Password Unlocker for Mac on your Mac. Please note this Windows password reset tool comes in the form of ISO image file.</p>
<p>
<h3>Burn ISO Image to CD/DVD on Mac</h3>
<p>After downloading the Windows Password Unlocker for Mac iso image file, you can now burn it to CD or DVD on your Mac. This job can be easily done with the help of the useful Disk Utility built into OS X, which allows you to burn disk images to disc on Mac. No extra software will be required.</p>
<p>Launch Disk Utility by clicking Applications -> Utilities -> Disk Utility. Insert your blank CD or DVD, and then drag and drop the Windows Password Unlocker for Mac iso file to the left pane in the Disk Utility window. Next select the target ISO image file, and click Burn button. A dialog box confirming the destination will appear, click Burn button to start burning the selected ISO file to your CD/DVD. After burning successfully, remove your CD/DVD out of Mac.</p>
<p><b>Note:</b> You can regard the burned CD/DVD as a Windows password reset disk. Keep it in a safe place and take it out whenever you need to reset forgotten Windows password.</p>

That&#8217;s all. It&#8217;s very easy.</p>
<p><b>Notes:</b></p>
<ul>
<li>1. Windows Password Unlocker for Mac is shareware. The trial version is only for evaluation purpose. It can only display all the user accounts on your computer under Windows PE, but not reset the passwords of the user accounts.</li>
<li>2. Windows Password Unlocker for Mac has 3 editions with different limitations. So please have a look at <a href="/compare/windows-password-recovery-mac.html">the difference of the 3 editions</a> before purchase.</li>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You&#8217;ve used a Windows 8 password for a long time and it&#8217;s time to change it to a new for keeping your computer more secure. You also want to change it when you forgot Windows 8 password. Here&#8217;s going to talk about how to change Windows 8 password in these 2 different cases.</p>
<p><br/></p>
<h3>Case 1. When Windows 8 Password Remembered</h3>
<p>In this case, you can easily log into the target Windows 8 user account and change its password on the PC settings window. Detailed steps are as follows: </p>
<p><b>Step 1:</b>. Open the PC Settings window.<br/><br />
Press Windows + I to open the Settings window and then select Change PC settings to open the PC Settings window.<br/><br />
<img src="/images/knowledge/change_pc_settings.jpg" alt="change pc settings"></p>
<p><b>Step 2:</b> Select Change your password option<br/><br />
On the PC settings window, select the Users on the left and you&#8217;ll see the Change your password option on the right. Then select the change password option. You&#8217;ll be asked to type the current password. Type the password and go to the change password window.<br/><br />
<img src="/images/knowledge/change_your_password.jpg" alt="change Win 8 password"></p>
<p><b>Step 3:</b> Set a new Windows 8 password<br/><br />

<img src="/images/knowledge/password_changed.jpg" alt="type a new password"></p>
<p>Besides, you can change a Windows 8 password from an administrator account on the same computer. But this is not suggested if you still remember the password as this will cause data loss.</p>
<p><br/></p>
<h3>Case 2. When Windows 8 Password Forgotten</h3>
<p>It&#8217;s possible to change Windows 8 password even you cannot remember it. 3 methods are available.</p>
<p><b>Method 1.  Use another admin account</b></p>
<p>As mentioned above, you can log in as administrator to manage another account on the same PC, including changing the password of another account. No original password will required, but  all EFS-encrypted files, personal certificates, and stored password for websites and network resources will be lost.</p>
<p><b>Method 2. Use password reset disk</b></p>
<p>Windows 8 allows users to create a password reset disk beforehand. With such a password reset disk at hand, you can easily change Windows 8 password to a new one when you forgot it. <br/><br />
<a href="/knowledge/create-windows-8-password-reset-disk.html">Learn how to create and use Windows 8 password reset disk</a>.</p>
<p><b>Method 3. Use Reset Windows Password Software</b></p>
