Is this a bios password or a win 7 password?
Do you get to the Win 7 log on screen?
The approach ito solving your problem is dependent upon the answer.

The quick solution, also legal, (you do have a sticker on bottom with the Product ID on it. It's normally a yellow color and is referred to as the COA),
then is to borrow a win 7 from a friend, install win 7 from there but use the number on the COA.
There are numerous tutorials in the forum on preparing for an install and installing win 7 under many different scenarios.
There are plenty of password recovery apps out there on the www... There are legitimate and illegitimate uses for products such as these. Several come to mind and I've used them all in the past for legitimate uses. Since you obviously have another PC should be easy to find. Look for Ophcrack, KonBoot, or PCLogin Now. Even easy to find instructions on usage... all of these have you create a boot disc from an iso file, and they work!
I haven't got past the computer was sold to a person and the password wasn't given to them. Folks it doesn't add up.
Same here Layback.
Also I will not point anyone to illegal programs or approaches.
such actions are also forbidden in this forum. Let those who have ears hear.
Your options are to order Recovery Disks from the manufacturer or find a Win7 installer for your version to clean reinstall following the tips in my signature below to get a perfect clean reinstall of factory OEM, which is a much superior install anyway without the factory bloatware and useless utilities which have better versions built into Win7:
Seems a bit fishy to me to folks. As stated a shop won't sell a computer with an unknown password. Seems odd the OP was in the desktop (icons on the side, advertising) and can't get into Windows.
@r1o2y3a4l5 if someone is going back to the US, retrun it.
