When you get to the recovery mode why don't you just replace sethc.exe with cmd.exe to get access to the system account from Windows and from the re just type "control userpasswords2" and just change the password (or just type "net user Enderman averydifficultpasswordthatnoonewilleverguess")

Command you should do: net user USERNAMEGOESHERE *

I used a different method for my Pavilion g6 (I got it from some guy on Kijiji). Note that this can only be done if you have a local account, not a Microsoft account, and you'd need physical access to the computer as well as a recovery disc. It took me about an hour to get into my laptop.

Boot into a recovery disc or USB drive.
Open an admin command prompt.
Rename utilman.exe to utilman.exe.bak.
Rename the old utilman.exe to cmd.exe.
Reboot the system.
When the login screen appears, click the Utility Manager button. A command prompt should appear.
Enter the following command:
_net user (username) (password)
Replace (username) with the account you want to regain access to, and (password) with a new password.
Reboot your system. You should be able to get back into your computer. When that's all done, restore utilman.exe:
c:
cd windowssystem32
del utilman.exe
ren utilman.exe.bak utiman.exe

I only did this so I could get into my new laptop, which still had a password from the previous owner. I'm sure I didn't need to describe the process in detail but if this helps someone I'm fine with that

Tech Master ミクファン六十九 you can replace utilman.exe to cmd.exe

The control userpasswords 2 part just opens netplwiz.exe
