Windows Key 9.1

From downloading, to installing and then using the Passware-developed application Windows Key, there is much to like about it. The download weighs in at some 800KB. At such a lightweight download size, it will take very little time to get the application off the web and onto your computer. To my mind, you will like that you don’t have to wait a long time for the download to complete.

Moving on, what’s to like about installing Windows Key? You will like that installing the application takes little time as well; it is a straightforward process that should go along without any problem.

At the time of writing this and according to the developer, Windows Key provides support for Windows NT, 2000, XP, Vista, and Windows 7 (32-bit and 64-bit editions).

Moving on yet again, what’s to like about using Windows Key? With this application you can create a password reset CD that will reset the administrator password and any other Windows security settings that are keeping you out.
