6) The last wizard page either acknowledges that password was changed successfully, or displays some error message. In demo version of Emergency Boot Kit all computations are performed in memory, but never written to disk.

So, after verifying there are no errors (i.e. Emergency Boot Kit is compatible with your HDD controller, Windows version, Windows Registry format etc) you may safely purchase Emergency Boot Kit to perform actual password reset. Full version of Emergency Boot Kit displays message like this:
