Kon-Boot is not free currently. I can get the old free version v1.1 but it doesn't support Windows 64-bit operating system. I prefer to use PCUnlocker and Ophcrack.

Hello, Sir!

I forgot my password and used Kon Boot. Though I am able to use my laptop again, it appears my system is experiencing a lot of errors such as:

"The application failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect..."

"Windows could not search for new updates. Error Code 800B0001"

I tried reinstalling my .Net Framework though it did not fix much.

My system is:

Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit

P.S.: I cannot use some of my important software and cannot start some of my games.

Nice entry, read the whole thing… Some nice c. 2011 illustrated meme at the end and everything.

But don’t blame MS. Kon-Boot apparently also bypasses several versions and flavors of Linux.

http://www.linuxsolutions.fr/kon-boot/

“Kon-Boot is an prototype piece of software which allows to change contents of a Linux kernel on the fly (while booting). Kon-Boot was moved to Windows platforms. So now it provides support for Microsoft Windows systems and also the Linux systems”

The current/commercial version probably targets Windows because many Linux users often don’t like paying for software. 🙂

Perhaps try this password next time “Everything is hackable, Common sense FTW!” 😉
