  I forgot my password for windows 7 for my laptop and a reset disk has not been created. How can I recover the password or create a new one? and I have a dell inspiron one 19 desktop... your help will be very appreciated thanks in advance!

  Here are the usual methods to solve this problem:

  • 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).
  • Logging in as a different admin account and then reset the password for your existing account (works only if create you an alternative admin account).
  • Log in as administrator mode without failure, then reset the password for your existing account (works only if you have activated the account administrator and know its password).
  • Insert your flash drive USB with the password key file (only works if you have created such a keyfile).
  • Check your paper files (works only if you threw down the password somewhere)

  If none of these standard precautions work for you, then the remedy will be painful. Post again if this is the case.

• I forgot my password for windows 7 (computer hp pavillion)

  I need help. Don't know what to do at all.

  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 (works only if you have created a hint 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)

• How to reset a password for Windows 7 Enterprise without an account administrator or reset disk?

  I put a password on my laptop last night that I thought must have been correct, but somewhere I think I made a mistake and now can't log in to my laptop. I forgot to do a reset disk - silly me! - and I believe that this is the administrator account as this is the only account on the current laptop. Someone knows some way in which I can reset the password without disk? My hard drive has given up working a few months ago, so I'm pretty stuck.

  Thanks in advance!

  Here you go:

  1. Set your BIOS so that it uses the DVD drive as its primary boot device.
  2. Start the computer with your Windows 7 repair CD.
  3. Press a key when prompted to boot from the DVD.
  4. Select 'PC Repair' in the menu.
  5. Select 'Repair' when prompted.
  6. When you are prompted, select System Restore.
  7. Configure Windows to a point before you changed the password.
  8. Plan ahead a little and create, test and document an alternative admin account, same as you have a spare emergency House key.
