Reset password windows 7, is safe?
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

You can't do a reset of your password disk once you have forgotten.
A disc of rest must be made before your password is forgotten.

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
Bob
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.

Can someone help me in resetting the Bios on my Elitebook 8470P password?
Product number is B2F97EC #ABA
Operating system is Windows 7 Pro 64 bit.
I got the file smc.bin Support HP to reset the password on my Elitebook 8470 P today.
After that, I just copied the file on a bootable USB and booted the laptop by keeping Windows Key + up / arrow dn, then press F10, select reset password.
It worked like a champ, I think your laptop should still be under warranty for this service, also level 1 services will not be much help, you will need to ask the file and request that they raise the service call.
Hope this helps others in the future.

Reset password Hotmail E-mail account
Hello, I can't remember my windows password because I always used option 'Remember my password' to connect. Never had to put on a password. All of a sudden, when I was asked to sign in with a password, I do not remember and did not have e-mail for some time. I used the reset password option but have not received a response from the Windows live for more than 4 days now. They say that the answers come in 24 hours. I wonder if anyone knows what I have to do to reset my hotmail password. Any number I can call? You will appreciate all help.

Thanks for the help, but any suggestions require that I be logged in as an administrator and if I could log on as an administrator, then I would not need help. My wife and I have user accounts that are protected by Word and have no problems to access an account. The problem with the administrator account, which both, we have used in the past. Once again, I got this computer with the software vista since January 2007 and have changed the administrator password every 30 days and was never required to backup the passwords using the 'password reset Wizard"until mid-2012. There was a software change that made it the only tool to reset the administrator password?
