    Billy,
    See A guide to recovering from Windows 7 Home Premium User Account lost password, cannot login, login problem in the Microsoft Answers / Microsoft Community site.
    The article starts with some basic steps [such as the use of Password Reset Disks] then works up through more powerful but complicated methods. Please do read the intro but I think it will be method 8 that solves your problem. Do follow the precautionary measures later on in the thread as well.
    You could be up & running again inside an hour, probably less.

    Password Reset Disc - Windows 7


    p. 722 of Windows 7 the Missing Manual says to create the password reset disc insert a blank CD or USB flash drive, but when I do this on my laptop, it insists on a floppy disk or a USB flash drive. It doesn't want a blank CD. Do I have to format the CD first somehow? My laptop doesn't even have a floppy drive! I have Windows 7 Premium Home editin.

    Yeah that's crazy. If you don't have a flash, and can't get one, get a portable 3.5 floppy drive. It's a USB device. But be aware that it may not work either! I tried it, and never got that done. I forgot what I did exactly, but just sayin...

    Hello ausguerila, :)

    I'm not sure what you mean?

    You would just need to run the "Forgotten Password Wizard" to create a password reset disk.

    Of course, you would need to do this before you should need it to reset the password with.

    I'm afraid not.

    It'll only work for the account it was created for prior to needing to reset its password.
