• Cain and Abel
  It is a password recovery tool for Windows operating system. It uses attacks like brute forcing, sniffing the network, cryptanalysis etc.

  Offline Password Cracker is an amazing password recovery tool but instead of actually recovering your Windows password like OPH Crack and similar tools do, it deletes it. Without a password, you’re allowed unrestricted access to your Windows operating system.
• Hiren’s Multi-boot disc
  This is similar to ophcrack. It’s one of the most used Boot CD’s. It comes with many tools which can be used in different situations.It also comes with antivirus with latest update definition. It can be used to make backups and test your memory and other hardware’s.

  This is my favorite. If you boot with Kon-Boot, it will by pass the login and you can enter your PC without entering any password. Kon-boot doesnt works for Windows 7 and 64 bit operating system. It works on Linux also.
