How to Reset Windows 7 Admin Password
Unlike
Windows Vista, and XP, Windows 7 introduces a large number of new
features, such as improved performance on multi-core processors,
improved boot performance and kernel improvements etc. Also different
from XP, window 7 asks its users to create a password for the built-in
super administrator account and to set up a login user account or
administrator account. Once you create the login account, window 7 will
automatically disable the built-in super administrator account. This is
for the sake of computer users' security. However, it can also cause
Windows login problems because people including me always forgot Windows 7 password.
Usually
we just create one login user account for our computer, except the
default super administrator account. If that really happens, how would
you recover Windows 7 password? How to reset the forgotten Windows 7
login password at present has been a hot topic among all the Windows 7
issues. I personally as a computer amateur, of course have collected
some effective ways to solve that problem. For me, any computer problem
if I've ever realized, is no longer tolerable. So here I am quite happy
to share with my little tricks in Windows 7 password reset with you all.
Log into your Windows 7 system with another account and then right
click "My computer -> Manage -> Local Users and Groups". You will
soon see all your Windows 7 accounts will be listed there. And you are
allowed to quickly set a new password for the account with a forgotten
password protected without typing its original password. This is only
based on if you have created more than 1 user account before. If not,
please move to the next option.
Option2:
Windows 7 password recovery with Freeware.
Taking
the freeware to reset your forgotten Windows 7 password could be a
risky solution. This is because in most cases those so called freeware
or shareware are with virus. When using a third party application, you
need to be 100% conscious. Here I know there is a clean and also
effective free Windows 7 password reset tool-Ophcrack. It is claimed
that 99.9% of alphanumeric Windows 7 passwords have been successfully
cracked by it. For more information ofOphcrack, please Google it.
However, it is a free application after all. A long and complicated
Windows 7 password couldn't be cracked by it. If you take more safety
into consideration, then option3 wouldn't disappoint you.
Option3:
Take use of Windows Password Unlocker
