Forgot Password

[got2bmeins]

I can't login to my old desktop admin account because I don't know the password. I can access my son and ex-husband's account, they aren't password protected,
but also not admin accounts. How can I get in, I don't have a password reset disk. I'm not completely computer stupid, but I'm also not a pro, so easiest fix would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to Seven Forum.

You may be able to enable the built in Administrator account. Signed in as Administrator you will be able to reset the password of your admin account. As you don't have access to any admin accounts you will have to use Option Four here:
Built-in Administrator Account - Enable or Disable

In Windows 7 all accounts are local accounts, so you should have no problems. In Windows 8, 10, or 11 an account may be either a local account or a Microsoft account. You cannot reset the password of a Microsoft account this way.
