Step 3: Press 1 to select the disk, which has the windows, installed from the partitions of the drive with numbers and hit “Enter”.

Step 4: Press 1 again to select the part of registry which is to be loaded and press “Enter”.

Step 5: Once the main interface screen appears press 1 again and hit “Enter”.

Step 6: Select the locked user account from the main screen and press 1 once more and hit “Enter”.

ISO image files into a bootable disk.

Step 2: Insert the bootable disk into the locked computer and boot from it. Make sure that the bootable disk is chosen as the priority disk from the bootable menu.

Step 3: Hit “Enter” on the first flash screen.
