Windows 7: User Account Password - Change from WinRE

That is the purpose of the reset disk. I can not answer in any further depth as I have not ever had a corrupted password or account, and have never had to use the password reset disk. Perhaps there is a member here at Seven Forums that has had this experience and will post here?

Cheers!

Alrighty, thank you the information you provided. Like you said, that is the purpose of a reset disk so it should work. I'll just keep this backup stored safely away.

But if someone else does post here with an in depth reply then I'll gladly read it.

Thanks again for the information Iseeuu.

Hello macyy, and welcome to Windows Seven Forums.

Your Toshiba Satellite uses "Memory Cards". You can pick some up cheap at Wal-Mart or Best Buy locally, and use them like floppies, CDs or DVDs:

Buy Memory Stick - Best Memory Stick prices - Shopper.com

Since you did not create a "System Repair" CD, you will need to go to the web site in the link (with instructions) below and download a copy onto one of your new memory cards. Then reboot the laptop, boot to the memory card with the "System Repair" on it, and you should be able to use Dinesh's Tutorial just like if you had a CD.

Here are some other links that might help you get back going:

System Repair Disc - Create

This link (and some others like it) explain how to use the Vista or Windows 7 ISO type file to make a bootable installation memory card. In your case, you would use the "System Repair" ISO file you download instead, but the instructions will work for any ISO type file.

how to login to a computer when syskey is enabled... and it is asking for a password.. how to disable or reset the password of syskey from registry or elevated command prompt

very very thanks

I was trying to password protect my computer with my username and I use the same password that I always use, a series of numbers, letters and symbols. Apparently, I typed it in wrong, twice, the same way because now I can not logon to my computer.

I've tried the steps above, but I still cannot get in.
I can not get to the command prompt screen.
I boot the computer and click F8.
This brings me to the Advanced Boot Options Screen.
If I click "Repair Your Computer", it takes me to a a box where it asks me to Select a Language, I click Next>then it asks me to access recovery options, log on as a local user. To access the command prompt as well, log on using an administrator account. The only User Name is the dropdown box is Jennifer and if I try to click OK without a password, it says "The user name or the password is incorrect."

If I click on "Safe Mode with Command Prompt", it takes me to the login screen, which I can't login to because I don't know the password.

If anyone out there can help me, I would be so grateful to you.
