I forgot my password admin windows 7

I forgot my windows 7 admin password and my laptop boot in safe mode.  I don't have a reset disk, and no windows disk not supplied with my laptop, what can I do? I really don't want to lose my data, but I would like to use my laptop.

And if you use your existing administrator privileges to create a highest as suggested additional admin account with a password reset disk& [with a password that you save somewhere] then avoid you the risk of being locked up on the PC if the profile existing admin account is always corrupt [this happens].

    Hello

    Try the following.

    Using another PC, download the app from the following link and save it in your downloads folder.

    PC login now

    Once the download is complete, open your download folder and double-click on the installer - this will result in another file, which is the disk image (.) ISO) you need to burn to a blank CD.

    Now, you will need to use an app like ImgBurn to burn the ISO correctly on a blank CD - a guide on the use of ImgBurn to write that an ISO on a disc is here.

    When the disk has been created, shut down the PC you can not log on, press the ESC key as soon as you press the power button to access the Start Menu, insert the CD, select Boot Options (usually f9), use the arrow keys to select the CD/DVD drive and press enter - peut also have you to "Press any key" to boot from the CD if asked to.

    Follow the instructions on the guide here to remove the current password.

    Kind regards

  • I forgot the password of windows on my old laptop, how I overcame this problem

    I have an older laptop Acer with windows Vista, which went under XP. The PC has not been used for awhile and I'm giving away there but must take all the info from him.
    Unfortunately I forgot the password of windows and can not enter, how to fix this problem. Thanks in advance

    Hello.

    Sorry, but Microsoft prohibited information provided in these Forums for anyone who has problems with a lost or forgotten password.

    I suggest that you reinstall the operating system.

    If you don't have a recovery disk, contact Acer support and they may be able to provide a disk.

    Also check to see if when you upgraded from XP to vista, if you wiped the 'hidden' Acer recovery Partition to back to how it was when new.

    Do you it by pressing Alt + F10 at startup and follow the instructions to reinstall XP

    See you soon.

    There are a lot of options built into Windows to help you out of this situation:
    • Restart the computer with your Windows repair CD, then use system restore to set Windows in a few days (only works if you have recently changed the password).
    • Log on to your account admin to spare, and then reset the password for your existing account (works only if you set up an alternative admin account).
    • Log in as administrator mode without failure, then reset the password for your existing account (the password is usually empty).
    • Insert your flash drive USB with the password key file (only works if you have taken the time to create such a key file).
    • Use the password indicator (only works if an indicator was created and if it's good enough to allow you to guess the password)
    • Check your paper files (works only if you threw down the password somewhere)

    I have widows XP and I can not access my user account I forgot my password. I am the only user on this computer. How can I get reset my password.

    Hi TeresaGerney,

    Try to start your computer in safe mode and log in as a user: administrator with the blank password (unless you have set a), if successful, you will need to click on start-> settings-> Control Panel-> users-> select your username and reset your password.

    If you use the Welcome screen, you will need to press ALT + CTRL + DELETE (all three keys simultaneously twice) you will get a screen classic. Type the user name as admin and press ENTER.

    Reference: http://www.ehow.com/how_2052288_start-windows-xp-safe-mode.html on how to start the pc in safe mode.

    I hope this helps.
