This process of resetting Windows password using the PCUnlocker software requires a blank CD as you will be required to burn a bootable CD or you can also use a bootable USB drive. In this tutorial, I’m gonna use a CD. So, following are the steps to create a PCunlocker live CD.
1. In order to do a Windows password reset, download the zip package file from PCUnlocker official website.
2. After downloading the zip file, simply extract that to find the included files. From those local files, you will get a file named pcunlocker.iso.
3. You need to burn the file to a black CD. So, for doing this you should have a CD burning software in the PC. Here, I’m using ISO2Disc software for burning the CD.
4. Simply insert a blank CD or USB drive into the computer. And launch the ISO2disc or any other such software.
4. There you need to browse the file pcunlocker.iso just by clicking the browse option and then click the Start burn button. The CD will start burning at the very moment.
5. Now your CD is ready to boot your PC. You can use it to reset the lost password.

2. When your system starts turning on, press the DELETE key, F8 key or F2 key. These keys will direct you to the boot screen on your computer.
3. Once you see the boot screen on your PC, simply select the BOOT tab by using the arrow keys. After that, you need to select the 1st Boot device(CD/DVD) if you are using a CD or select the Removable device if you have inserted the bootable USB drive.
4. At last, press the F10 key to save all your settings and then your computer will try to boot from the CD or USB drive.
