    Forgot Password


    What should one do if they forgot their user password?

    My real issue is that I forgot my User password for the only, and hence, Administrator account on my laptop. I was going to try and do a system recovery from my Sytem Image back up, but I can't access the System Repair boot menu without the password.

    Alternatively, any information for reseting/removing an Administrator User account password for Windows 7 (where a password recovery disk was not previously made) would be extremely helpful.

    Thanks!

    Boot to Safe Mode, login as Administrator.
    Open Control Panel, User Accounts.
    Select your account and remove or change the password.
    Reboot.
