Solved Forgot Windows 7 Password 64 Bit

[TonyS317]

I have not logged into here (WinSevenForum) for a long time! Obviously I remember my PW here. Wish it was the same for win 7. I do not remember my admin PW. Is this the right forum section?

I did not use any type of password recovery tool/program. There seems to be the only account on the computer (Admin). While I have never used it, I do have Ubuntu set up on it without a PW - dual boot. The computer I am on now and one in the living room are part of a homegroup/network. I am not network savvy. I just followed general instructions to hook them all up to my surprise all 3 have worked great for a long time! I just hooked them together to occasionally drop music or files into a "public" folder and have all 3 online. I mention this because I can access the locked computer. But, do not know if I can get admin privileges/command line or other areas. I have no idea what to do.

The locked cpu is WIN 7 64bit..... It seems many of the Win 7 crack tools are for 32 bit? Right now I am getting something called Ophcrack. Which appears to work on 64 bit. If this does not work what do I do next? If there is a much better program... I am open to paying $50-100. If I can pay $10 that is even better. If I can do it for free GREAT! Any and all help welcome!!!:sarc:

Ophcrack found the account

And something similar to updateuser(though spelled funny) and Homegroup. For the admin, homegroup and update user it reported "not found". It also reported a guest account..... Under the NT password it said, "Empty"

Yes...... No, I did not write it down. It was not humanly possible for me to forget this password. So, there was no need to write it down. I never powered the computer off. So, never needed to remember it. The first time I turn it off - crap!

Kak,

Even though this Ophcrack program did not work... Might this work? I have no clue what you are having me do here. But, I follow instructions great! So, it looks pretty easy.

HAH! I randomly guessed it. Phew. Ty Kak & Ram.......

Win7Forums really needs a donate button. While no one specifically helped me this time. IT seems if needed people would have TY!
