[Win7 x64] Forgot My Password/Cannot Re-Install Windows
I forgot the password to my account(No password reset and tried using the cmd but it wouldn't work either) a while ago so I'm on my guest account and I was going to just reinstall windows 7(Also tried booting from disk) but when I put the disk in it said I cannot, so can anyone tell me how to do either of the following;
1) Install Windows 7 without administrator rights
2) Recover/remove the password from my other account (I have managed to get an encrypted version of the password)
3) I also would be open to completely wiping my hard drive as well and doing a fresh install of windows as I have a back up on an external HDD.
Either will resolve my issue so whichever option is easier to resolve.
System info
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium x64
(I don't think there's anything else relevant other than OS but if so, ask for it below please)
I appreciate any help I get, thanks :)
