Have you forgotten your login password to your PC and would like to reset it without any software and without losing any of your data? Then you’re just at the right place, cause this is what we will be discussing today.

Normally, when you boot your window 7 PC and you arrive at the login page. You’ll be asked to input your login password which “YOU HAVE FORGOTTEN”.

When you look at the bottom left-hand side of the login screen, you’ll see the “Easy Access Button” which we are going to replace it with command prompt. The file for that is located at C:// drive/Windows/System32/utileman. But now you don’t have access to your C:// drive yet cause you don’t know the password to the PC.
