I forgot to login to windows 7 on laptop

I forgot to login to windows 7 on a laptop that has been in a drawer for 6 months! Safe mode only brings back me to the Windows login again. Any ideas? I guessed and guessed passwords. I just can't remember! Thank you

There are a lot of options built into Windows to help you out of this situation:
  1. 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).
  2. 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).
  3. Log in as administrator mode without failure, then reset the password for your existing account (the password is usually empty).
  4. Insert your flash drive USB with the password key file (only works if you have taken the time to create such a key file).
  5. Use the password indicator (works only if you have created a hint and if it's good enough to allow you to guess the password)
  6. Check your paper files (only works if you threw down the password somewhere.)
If none of these methods work then you will need to perform a destructive factory restore. Since you have not used the machine in six months, it is unlikely to be a big disadvantage. When you have finished, remember to take at least one of the many precautions above.
