Windows 8  

 Hi.
Are u planning to add Windows 8 compatibility into your password reset software?

RE: Windows 8  

Hi JohnKorn,

We have added it already and are testing it actively. It will be available in a week or so.

The main problem was in brand-new Windows LiveID accounts. They are not compatible with regular user accounts and even if you manage to reset user hash from SAM registry (for LiveID account), system will not let you in.

DPAPI is another issue. We had to rewrite our DPAPI recovery engine to make it compatible with the new Windows 8 authentication method.

Another great news is that passwords for Win8 accounts with PIN or Picture Password set are recovered instanly now. We have added it into Windows Password Recovery earlier. See the news here.

I'm shocked. Do you mean that if I ever switch to Picture Password, my wife who has her own profile in my laptop, could know my TEXT password?
