SAM Password Self Reset Client
from Beta Systems
Overview
SAM Password Self Reset Client is a software program developed by Beta Systems. During setup, the program creates a startup registration point in Windows in order to automatically start when any user boots the PC. Upon being installed, the software adds a Windows Service which is designed to run continuously in the background. Manually stopping the service has been seen to cause the program to stop functing properly. It adds a background controller service that is set to automatically run. Delaying the start of this service is possible through the service manager. The setup package generally installs about 8 files and is usually about 4.97 MB (5,211,183 bytes). Relative to the overall usage of those who have this installed, most are running it on Windows 7 (SP1). While about 83% of users of SAM Password Self Reset Client come from the United States, it is also popular in Canada.
