Lost password on Windows 10

Hello Bazfile,

There is also another reason --► The tool requires a supported offline OS

DaRT8 is either broken or in a state of brain death

After examining this a bit further, I came to the conclusion
that the output created by DaRT8 is either broken or in a state of brain death. The
reason I say this is that I created an iso/wim DaRT7 and it had no
problem finding any of my offline systems.

After booting DaRT7 and selecting the keyboard, the system displays
"searching for Windows installations". The first time I used DaRT7, it
found no systems, but it sent me the following message:
"Windows has detected problems with the boot options of your computer. Would you like to
apply the repairs and restart your computer?'

The 'show details' for this prompt displayed the following:

The following boot options will be added:
Name: Windows 7 Ultimate (recovered)
Path:
Windows Device Windows: Partition=D: (20,494 MB)

Name: Windows 8 Pro with Media Center (recovered)
Path:
Windows Device Windows: Partition=L: (20,494 MB)

Name: Windows Vista (TM) Business (recovered)
Path:
Windows Device Windows: Partition=K: (20,494 MB)

After allowing the repairs to be applied, the system restarted and this time, three
systems were displayed for selection. All DaRT7 tools were available
after selecting a target system. The main difference I see between
DaRT7 and DaRT8 is that DaRT7 can repair the issue when it does not find
what it is looking for and DaRT8 cannot. The interesting thing is that
after DaRT7 repaired the issue, I booted DaRT8 and it was now able to
display the same systems for selection and all tools now had active links
after choosing a system for repair.

Basically, what happens is that DaRT7 creates the necessary BCD for
offline systems if it does not find a BCD on the flash drive from which you
booted DaRT. In my case, DaRT7 then created the necessary BCD on
the flash drive, but DaRT8 did not have the intelligence to do so.

How stupid is that for a recovery application?

So, if you want to use DaRT8 on a multi-boot system, make sure you have a
BCD containing your offline system information. Otherwise, you may not
be able to select the system you want to repair.
