Reset ZK Attendance Management Software Admin Password INTRODUCTION : ZKTeco (ZKT) Attendance Management Program (or zktime 5.0) is the classical software for managing biometric and attendance devices of the famous manufacturer ZKTeco. Until today so many people (including me) are still using it because it's easy to maniuplate in the eyes of the customers (Boss, HR Manager, Secretary...etc) By default when you run this software it doesn't ask for login or password, so in order to prevent any malicious actions by strangers (or intruders from the company itself!!), you can configure an "administrator" to secure the attendance management program. And so everytime the customer (the user) runs the software it will ask for login and password to have access to it. HERE IS THE PROBLEM : But sometimes - for some reasons - you (the software admin) may forget these credentials (login & password) and cannot open the attendance management program anymore. This issue can happen...

ZKTime.NET 3.0 License is expired...Easy solution (not working with other versions) People who are dealing with ZKTeco Attendance Management and Access Control devices can manage them using a software designed by this company like the traditional ZKTime 5.0, ZKTime.NET 3.0, ZKAccess 3.5 or the latest ZKTeco software BioTime. Each one has it's own features and architecture, some are free to use and the most of them require a valid license that can be obtained directly from ZKTeco or any other autorized distributor or reseller.  For ZKTime.NET v3.0, this software comes with a trial period (90 days = 3 months) that allows you to test and explore all its features or even deploy it in your company or for your customer. This is a built-in free license, but when it expired, you can't use the software anymore and you are forced to purchase a new license or change the software completly.
