I forgot my password for editing windows Home premium 7, how do I reset my password?

I have two accounts on the computer, I can access the guest account and another user I know the password. However, I changed my password for the administrator and forgot it. I remember former property. Is there a way I can reset, knowing the old password.

    The installed key is the key for Vista Home Premium Acer OEM_SLP - and it seems that you have installed using a retail disc.

    For what version and edition of Windows the COA sticker is valid? If it's for Vista Home Premium, you must change the key for that which concerns your COA sticker, using the link at the bottom of the system properties page.

    You may need to activate by phone.

  • copy of Windows Home Premium to reinstall

    I would like to know if I can get a copy of Windows Home Premium to reinstall it on the computer, I bought, but had to get a new hard drive.  The Unit came with everything installed and without disks.  So 3 years later my hard drive crashed.  I recorded my copy of windows, is there anywhere where I can download a copy based on my initial purchase and registration?  Thankss, Dave

    Hello

    There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.

    You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

    They should do this for a small fee.

    To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:

    You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:

    How to change the Boot order in BIOS:

    http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/SS/bootorderchange.htm

    "How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246

    Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

    If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

    You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

    Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

    And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

    Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

    "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html
