I forgot password on Windows 7 computer, and use Chntpw to clear password and login computer without password successfully. And now my laptop installed with Windows 8 is locked, because administrator password has lost. So I search Chntpw and find the latest version could help to reset Windows 8 password, pogostick.net/~pnh/ntpasswd/cd140201.zip. But when I try to boot Windows 8 from it, it couldn't work.
What I have done on resetting Windows 8 password with Chntpw disk:
1. Burn image file into USB drive and set computer boot from USB device.
2. Chntpw runs, and after software and driver information show, Windows password reset prepare to begin.
3. Select Windows installation disk. When I select [1] to show Windows partitions only, a message prompts me that “the disk contains an unclean file system”. And it suggests me to boot into Windows and shut down properly or force file system change.
