I forgot the password of Windows 7 and need to find out before I update my drivers of fingerprint - HELP!

I recently changed my DV7 Windows 7 password and now I can't remember it.

I can log on as the fingerprint app knows the password and am currently using this laptop.

Over the past two days, the fingerprint app stopped working on some of my many time log on to websites and I would like to correct this... but, given that the only way that I can open a Windows session is my mark, I'm afraid to do anything until I can change or remove my windows password.

I do not have a 'change password' disk and when I just tried to make one, of course he asked me my current password. I already guessed at my usual passwords but not luck... so maybe when I reset my password I hit the wrong key or my key caps or maybe even changed my PW to something that I normally do not use anywhere elsewhere.

I am terrified that the fingerprints app will cease to operate at the windows log on and I will be watered.

Is there a way to determine or even reset my password windows 7 without knowing? Is there somewhere in the application of the fingerprint where can I find the current Win7 PW?

Thanks for the help!

Hello

The connection via the software of fingerprint sensor validation do you happen to have administrator privileges?

When you connect, go to the--> user accounts Control Panel.

In user accounts are trying to create a new account and give administrator privileges.

  • 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.

  • I forgot the password for Windows 7 laptop and password required for all downloads

    No disc reset was created before there is another established user except the guest account, but even with the admin, a user lost password password rights is required for all downloads and updates. Cannot download even a password cracker because it requires a password to complete all downloads. What can I do? It's very frustrating.

    The legal option only when you do not know the password is to copy your files, you have all to CD or another drive for backup, then clear the computer and reinstall Windows.

    This happens often. If you had a windows reset disk, then it is very easy to reset the admin password. If not, then you should make your own and which allows to reset the password. Take a look at this tutorial, it seems fairly easy to reset the password with a usb reset disk:

  • my daughter forgot the password on this laptop, and now nothing can be upgraded. How do I change and reset the password

    computer is without hope, without updates

    If you have forgotten your password, if you have another user who has administrative privileges account you can log in to that account and change the password of your account of origin of the user accounts applet in Control Panel. If you do not have another account like this set upwards or that you do not have the password which you will need to log on to the built-in Administrator account. In XP Home, start the computer in Mode safe. This, by repeatedly pressing the F8 key as the computer starts. This will put you in the right menu. Navigate using your arrow up; the mouse does not work here. Once in safe mode, you will see the normally hidden administrator account. The default password is white.

    In XP Pro, you don't need to go to Safe Mode. In the home screen, do Ctrl-Alt-Del twice to get the classic Windows logon box. Type in "Administrator" and the password that you assigned when you set up Windows.

    If you reset the password of the account administrator integrated into house or have Pro and don't remember the password, use NTpasswd to change the password of the built-in to a white administrator account. Download the bootable CD .iso image file, burn with third-party burning software such as free ImgBurn , Nero or Roxio. Burn as an image, not in the form of data. Start with the media that you have created. You need to maybe change the boot order in the BIOS or obtain a menu of boot command temporary with the pressure of a special key. NTpasswd will run. Follow the instructions carefully.

    http://home.eunet.no/pnordahl/ntpasswd/

    Then, go to the user accounts applet in Control Panel and set passwords that you remember and other changes. WRITE THE PASSWORDS DOWN AND PUT THEM SOMEWHERE YOU WON'T LOSE THEM.
