4.0/5

Thanks to a variety of malignant actors seeking to get a hold of users’ account credentials by either brute-forcing their way through the defense systems or through social engineering-related techniques, cybersecurity specialists have to constantly design new ways to help those at risk protect themselves.

Among these strategies, creating strong passwords featuring uppercase letters, special characters and numbers through dedicated generators remains the most recommended one. When the users themselves lose or forget the passphrase in question, Active@ Password Changer comes to the rescue.

Another good practice concerns the usage of two-factor authentication methods, which require introducing a second device necessary to complete the login process. While this particular approach is achievable as long as internet connectivity is available, locally created Windows accounts lack the conditions.

As a result, if the user’s notebooks or password-aggregation services are missing the keyphrase in question, many are compelled to simply give up on their personal files and settings and reset their machine. However, thanks to the app at hand, a more preferable alternative can be explored.

In case the computer has extra user accounts on top of the administrator one, Active@ Password Changer harnesses the power behind the Windows Security Account Manager database file to either directly replace the target password or make a backup to prevent the scenario from occurring in the future.

For situations in which the machine is completely inaccessible past its login screen, users can bring a second device to create a recovery disc through which the app can boot up to its wizard-style layout meant to guide you towards the necessary steps.

As imperfect as we are, our ingenuity as a species has allowed us to create the right tools that complement any of the characteristics we deem subpar, with Active@ Password Changer being a decent solution to forgetting or losing the password that locks our daily driver Windows PC.
