Reset password in Windows 7

Wih Compaq Windows 7 on it.

I bought a PC from a friend of mind. It had a password on it, and I need to reset the password 'pass '.

He left the city. I can't get my hands on him. So, how do I reset it. Help

You list the Compaq model you have it please?

There are all kinds of tutorials on how to do this if you Google it.

The best way to reset your password for Windows user at this point is to create whats called Live CD (or USB).

You start in this Live CD and follow the instructions to reset the password.

You will need access to another computer and download the software to create the Live CD.

There are several Linux-based programs that do this, but I like Lazesoft.
I learned of the Lazesoft Recover My Password by looking at Britec09 which makes tech YouTube tutorials.

Lazesoft makes the process easy and you don't need to know the command prompts.
The software downloaded will be also set up and install on a CD or a usb key without installing anything extra. Just follow the guests. The best part is a free edition just to remove the password.

Go to this link to read about it.

Not knowing what computer you have, I assumed that touch the key F9 to start, you will have to boot selection screen to boot from your new Live CD or USB.

If you need further help, let me know.

  • Reset password in Windows Vista

    Is there a way to reset the password in Windows Vista? I have a laptop Compaq CQ50 Presario. It is old computer of my stepdaughter, and of course she can't remember the password to connect. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you

    There are utilities such as Offline NT that can reset passwords. Perhaps it would be easier to just boot into Recovery and reinstall Windows if you don't have any files not to lose you. Recovery will reset the laptop to factory condition. To start the recovery, start typing or by pressing the F11 key immediately after switching on the laptop.

  • Reset the password of Windows on a NB250

    Is there a solution to the following problem?

    My children has changed and I forgot the password of windows for our NB250. I have a Bios password which comes first. We need to use this computer for school, so your help is very appreciated. Questions:

    I do not have the windows password
    There is not an administrator account
    We have Windows 7 starter system
    I tried pressing zero and hold after you type in the Bios pw - nothing
    I don't have a flash drive or another password reset file

    Any ideas?

    Stand by. You mean BIOS password and Windows user account.
    I guess that the BIOS password is known to you and you can start the laptop correctly, but you cannot log on Windows by using the Windows user account.

    Is this correct?

    In case you want to reset the password of Windows I recommend to check this page from Microsoft:

    + If you forget the administrator password and you do not have a password reset disk or another administrator account, you will not be able to reset the password.

  • Re: How to reset / recover forgotten Windows password

    Forgetting your Windows administrator login password.
    With no way to get into the system, you can perform even basic maintenance, and still less a complete tune up.
    Formatting is always an option, but we consider that a last resort. (In addition, guess who's going to help to reinstall all the programs lost after a wipe?)

    But all hope is not lost.
    There are several ways to recover a password account Windows lost. Read on, and we'll show you the light.

    _1st method: _

    The first thing check you if you forget the password. When we install windows, it automatically creates an account 'Administrator' and affects his empty password. So if you have forgotten your user account password then try this:

    Start system and when you see Windows Welcome screen / login screen, press ctrl + alt + delete twice and it'll show classic login box. Now type "Administrator" user name (without the quotes) and leave the field blank password. Now, press Enter and you should be able to log on to Windows.

    Now you can reset your password to "user accounts of-> Control Panel.

    Same thing can be done in Mode without failure. In Safe Mode Windows will display this account of administrator in the login screen.

    Method _2th: _

    There are many password crackers and Windows developers.

    Commander of the CIA:

    This tool only works on NTFS partitions, but it works very well! You can even use it to copy the data from one place to another. But this isn't for free.

    Windows password recovery tool:

    but I've found that Windows Password Recovery Tool is the most effective. :

    I installed windows 7 last Friday and then, of course, I forgot the password.

    I used this guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PILDBTObzLw to reset the password and now it works fine and I can connect.

    I just want to know if I will have problems in the future with updates after I changed the name of some files. Can I find the files I edited and delete/rename them back to the original?

    Thank you!

    Hello Mello,

    Thanks for posting your question on the Microsoft community.

    Thank you for details on the question and your efforts to resolve.

    I also appreciate your query on the updates of Windows and password reset.

    Reset password is safe. However, we rename files "c:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution" and "catroot2" while that to solve the problem of update.

    If you have remaned the files of data, then you do not have to delete or rename. If you have made changes to

    Files Windows and then, although you can rename them, it can make no difference, or it can aggravate the problem.

    I hope this information helps.

    Please let us know if you need more help.

    Thank you

  • How can I reset my forgotten administrator password for Windows 7, without a password reset disk?

    How can I reset my forgotten administrator password for Windows 7, without a password reset disk?

    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).
    • 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)
