| 1396777 | 2015-03-19 02:41:00 | We recently had problems with a flatmate and had to ask him to leave. Before leaving he reset the passwords on the computer in our living room we are now unable to use it:crying. I am still able to access the bios as he did not have the supervisor or user passwords so was unable to change that. The computer is running Windows 7 ultimate. Is there any way to unlock the computer. |

| 1396779 | 2015-03-19 03:21:00 | Piece of cake :D Theres several ways,, one way use dedicated software, then it takes only a couple of minutes. BUT if you dont have any, all you need is a Windows Repair or Install CD/DVD and a couple of commands. Not going to write it all out, so have a look at the following, click on the picture > and follow through. windows-7-password-reset-walkthrough_1.htm#step-heading (pcsupport.about.com) Edited: Similar method but little shorter how-to-reset-your-forgotten-windows-password-the-easy-way/ (www.howtogeek.com) Dont bother trying to use a password cracker that can take ages, total waste of time, simply reset it. |

| 1396782 | 2015-03-19 06:19:00 | Jump on another W7 PC and make one. It has to be the same as yours Eg; if yours is X64 Bit then the repair disc has to be made on a X64. www.sevenforums.com |

Any more Ideas Personally never tried this on a restricted account, but if you can get into the Computer in that account try making a bootable CD as per the other post. The other way I was going to suggest to make a Third party Bootable CD wont work on XP computers. :( |
