    Homegroup password recovery.


    I did a very silly thing. I created a homegroup in Windows 7 and left it. My PC was the only computer on it. I have lost the password and wish to recover it or reset it. How do I do this when no computers are on the homegroup even though it still exists? I can't create another homegroup as Windows keeps telling me one already exists. Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks,

    For some reason I was able to create a new homegroup again. I now have the password and have joined it. Thanks for your help, Roy. I appreciate it.
