Trouble Changing or resetting adimistrator password windows 7

Ive seen a few threads on this topic already but nothing I tried worked. I can't edit or create a password for my administrator account, Ive tried to do a new account admin. Ive tried to go through the method of cmd.exe. No luck at all. I got error messages include passwords don't match not and after carefully re enter, I get the error cannot create new password. Can someone please help me with what I need to add a password for me pc immediately. Thank you!

Here you go:

1 log in under an administrator account.
2. click on the start planet.
3. type cmd.exe in the search box.
4. press on Ctrl + Shift + Enter
5. click on "run as Administrator".
6. type the following commands exactly and press ENTER after each:
NET user "user %%nom" xxyyzz

(to define your password xxyyzz)

Spare 123456 NET user / add

(to create an alternative account)

net localgroup administrators/add "Spare"

(to promote the account to spare at the admin level)

7 log under the alternative account to test it.

8. make a written note of the details of the alternative account.

You have to spare as bad admin account you need a key to spare House and for much the same reasons.

  • 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.

  • How to reset/recover password Windows 7 Administrator without downloads

    Reset my password because my sister discovered my old one, so I didn't want him to mess with my stuff on my computer, I changed it and I know exactly what it is because I had to type it twice. There is no spaces, symbols, caps, numbers, etc., just lower case letters. So I accidentally closed my laptop and tried to connect to my account, which is the only account on my computer with administrator privileges. I type my password and it doesn't work, then I tried again to make different combinations of letters where I had messed up when I changed my password. nothing has worked. I looked up how to reset the password, but most of them require a download, that require the admin to the privileges of the installation password. Anyone know how to reset or recover my password without downloads or USB disks/keys. If the discs or the key USB is the only option, I'll take it.

    User account, password reset disks need to be made before the password is lost. Please see:

  • Laptop HP Pavilion 14: try to reset the password Windows 10

    I recently bought a new laptop HP Pavilion Notebook 14 and in the initial configuration, created an account and a password but did not create a password reset disk, an administrator account, or an alternative setting for logon. I am also not registered with Microsoft so you cannot change the password in this way.

    I've seen instructions on downloading ISO software and trying to boot via USB key, but none of the command prompt so far work. I tried F9, F10, F2, F6, etc all on their own or by pressing ESC first. Is there another way to recover the password? Otherwise, given that nothing has been put in place on the hard drive and yet, it would be easier to default to the factory settings? And if so, what is the best way to proceed?

    Hello

    You can perform a factory reset as indicated in the link below - see the subtopic "valuation when 10 Windows does not start successfully.

  • Is it possible to make a password reset disk for windows 7 by using windows 8?

    Original title: password reset disk

    Is it possible to make a password reset disk for windows 7 by using windows 8. The reason why I ask this is because our Toshiba satellite laptop was stolen when our House was robbed. Fortunately the police recovered the laptop, but the password has been changed and we cannot use it. In the meantime, we have replaced the old laptop with a new one that has windows 8. I made a password reset disk using this, but it won't work on the old laptop.

    any advice would be great

    Best regards, Ian

    Hi Ian,

    You can create a password reset disk only when you are able to log on or access Windows 7 computer and after you have created a password for the same.

    Windows 8 password reset disk can be used only in Windows 8 computer where you created the password and not for Windows 7.

    You must create a Windows password reset disk before you forgot your password. You must also create a new password reset disk when you change your password in Windows.

    If you the administrator password are changed and is not a password reset disk or another administrator account, you will not be able to change or reset the password.

    For more information, see the articles:

  • 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:

  • Qosmio F10: Forgotten my password Windows XP - how to reset?

    Hi all

    I haven't used my Qosmio F10 in addition to four months and the last time that I used it I had to change the password, but now I foolishly do not remember it.

    My account is the only account on the laptop, so I am also administrator. Is it possible that I can find out or reset the password?

    Thank you very much

    Hello

    Cannot delete the administrator account on Windows XP. You need to reinstall new OS to get access to the new created admin account.
    Simply start the installation from the Toshiba Recovery CD and the new operating system must be installed in a few minutes.

    But note; the new installation format the whole HARD drive so if you have important files on the HARD drive you back up data.

    In this case, you could remove the laptop HARD drive and it could connect to another computer via the external USB HDD controller to transfer the files to the second computer HARD drive.

    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.
