Forgot My Computer Logon Password, What To Do? by tonyallen: 10:22am On Mar 11, 2015
If you forgot computer logon password, it's possible to remove the lost Windows password. Here's an easy solution.



Question: Forgot Windows 7 password, what should I do to get back in computer?

I use windows 7 and there's no way that I can remember my password to log on to administrator on my computer. There's no guest account, either. So the only way for me to use my computer again would be deleting the password or being able to get it back?

I've read that if when I turn my computer on before it boots up, I can press f8 or f11 or something like it to start it in safe mode. And then I will be able to change the password without having to put the old password. But I failed to enter safe mode as it prompts for password. I have no idea about the password.

Note: I tried downloading that Ophcrack program but it didn't work.

The problem stated above is from Yahoo answer. In daily life, have you ever come across a similar problem? If so, please have a look at the following solution to this problem.

Solution:

In safe mode, you can change the lost Windows password without learning the original password. But the presupposition is that you are able to enter safe mode with an administrator account. If you don't have another administrator account, you cannot enter the safe mode and change your lost Windows password. But you can use Windows Password Buster to unlock Windows 7 password.

With Windows Password Buster, you are able to burn a password reset CD/DVD or USB flash drive in seconds. And then you can use the disk to remove your forgotten Widnows password in 3 simple steps.

The overall steps are as follow:

Step 1: Download Windows 7 password recovery tool in any computer with any OS.

Step 2: Burn a bootable CD/DVD or USB flash drive with the program.

Step 3: Set BIOS to boot from CD/DVD or USB.

Step 4: Remove lost Vista login password under Windows PE.

Please note you cannot change Windows password with a guest account. It only allows people to use your computer without having access to your personal files.

There are 3 ways for you to reset a lost Windows 7 password:

Way 1: Use a Windows 7 password reset disk

When you create a user account on PC, Windows 7 allows you to create a password reset disk in order to help you reset password afterwards when you forgot Windows 7 password. If you don’t have a foresight to create this disk before you lost password, then refer to part 4. Here is a simple guide to reset Windows 7 password using this password reset disk.
Step 1: Insert the password reset disk into your PC, click “Reset password” and click “OK” in the pop-up window.
Step 2: Select the password reset disk, click “Next”, and then type your new password to complete the process.

Way 2. Try an administrator account

Want to reset Windows 7 password without disk? If you are lucky enough to get someone who has an administrator account or a user account which has the administrator privilege on your PC, then you can try to use the password to sign in your PC for Windows 7 password reset. However, the most important thing you should know is that this method brings big risks: your account will lose access to its encrypted files, e-mail messages, and the stored passwords for websites or network resources, etc. If you don’t want any data loss, refer to Way 4.

Way 3: Use Windows Password Recovery Tool Ultimate

Step 1: Download and install the tool on any available computer.
Step 2: Insert a bootable CD/DVD or a USB flash drive on the computer. In the pop-up window, select “Reset Windows local account password”, choose your CD/DVD or USB flash drive, and click “Burn”.
Step 3: Start you PC and insert the newly created CD/DVD or USB flash dive on the PC.
Step 4: After the program initializing, choose the Windows installation, select administrator account, enter a password, click “Reset” and “OK” in the pop-up windows and click “Reboot”.
