    Reseting the Win 7 admin password


    Recently my Samsung RF 711 was sent to service - new motherboard was installed. I had to re install everthing from scrach. I also set new admin passoword. Righ after that I restarded my pc and it broke sending a message of bootmgr missing. After few days i fixed the problem byt now I can;t remember my password. I tried to use all methods including Linux disc to restard, Trinity Orpcrack etc. nothing really works.

    Why would you use a password if you can't remember it a few days later?

    As suggested do a Clean Reinstall - Factory OEM Windows 7 and don't use a password.
