1348401	2013-07-09 01:31:00	About 4 years ago we installed Windows 7 on another hard drive in my computer to see how Windows 7 would run on my desktop hardware (and see if there where any issues etc...). A few weeks back I thought I better try and see if I can boot back in to this copy of Windows 7 to see what state it’s in and also I could not remember if it was a preview copy etc…we installed But when I got to the login page, I could not remember my password!! And I also did not setup a forget password disk :( Is their any way I can reset/change the password?? I am not worried if I cant get back in :), but I just thought I would ask, before I get dad to take the drive out.	stu161204 (123)

( oops) All you need is a W7 repair CD,and some command prompts ;) Have a read of tutorial - reset Windows 7 password (reboot.pro) NOTE: When you read the article, have a look at the corresponding pictures, some of the commands the person forgot to put in the "\" in the command, but its shown in the pictures.	wainuitech (129)

It was not the same as this solution though which looks easier, it was a boot disk with a text based menu sytem. Waste of time too, the PC I had been given turned out to have a cracked copy of windows 7 on it so I ended up wiping it.	dugimodo (138)
