Bypassing windows login screen – with Kon-Boot
Bypassing Windows login screen is very simple. In this article we will discuss how to achieve this in a few simple checks.
System Requirements: Kon-Boot 1.0 works with the 32-bit Windows versions including XP, Vista and a few Windows Server OS’s.
Kon-boot is just one of many great tools out on the Internet. It has the power to remove all passwords by temporary modifying BIOS. Unfortunately it seems like the free version recently got removed from the publishers web-site so we fixed a mirror to the image and put together a little tutorial to get you ready! If you like the application, consider buying the full version and supporting the publisher. The currently pricing is no more expensive than a few beers.
