Forgot Password To Laptop

Jul 9, 2011

I recently changed my password to my new laptop, and for the life of me, I cannot remember it. Is there any way to get around this problem? I know that there is a thing where you can reset your password if you had set up the wizard thing for it, but I didn't do that.

Trouble Signing Onto My Laptop / Forgot Password

Sep 12, 2012

I haven't signed on to my laptop that I bought from former co-worker of mine (really savvy with computers) in a few months and I've forgotten the password to log-in. There was no animosity between us after the purchase - he ended up quitting and getting a job elsewhere. I have a Dell Inspiron 1720 with Windows 7 Professional. All though, as evidenced from the bottom of the laptop, he did upgrade the OS at one point from Windows Visa but I am not sure which edition it was. I downloaded the Password Reset Wizard via from my parents home computer on to a new/unused USB flash drive. I clicked on the appropriate drive, typed in a new password, typed it again to confirm and typed in the password hint. After doing all of that, this error message came up "An error occurred while the wizard was attempting to set the password for this user account." Did I do something wrong? And at this point, I am stumped. I haven't been able to get in touch with the former co-worker. Should I call Microsoft and ask for them to send me a Windows 7 disk, buy it online (saw the cheapest price on Newegg for $139.99) or should I try a Windows password recovery tool?

Forgot Password For Admin On Windows 7?

Feb 27, 2012

The problem is that I had setup a domain on my laptop and then changed to home computer on windows 7 machine. It gave me a message that changes will come to effect after restart the machine, which I did. When it restarted it is asking me for admin password, which I don't remember and docent allow me to change the userid so that I can log back ( it shows admin I'd on the screen which I can't change).

Now I can't log back and have lot of important stuff on my laptop , don't want to reinstall and don't have a reset cd also

Forgot Windows 7 Bootup Password?

Jun 13, 2011

Running TSG SysInfo would be useless, because I am having to make the inquiry from an entirely different computer.The computer in question, however, is a Dell Inspiron desktop, running Windows 7. Five or six months ago, in setting my then-new Dell computer I evidently responded to a prompt by creating a bootup password, with an accompanying Hint. But through those months the computer never asked for the password, <b>until two days ago</b>. It prompted me with "wherehus", (the "hus" being "husband", referring to me) which I believe to be a truncated version of the hint I set up originally. It now suddenly wants the password. and why that change and why the hint is truncated, I have no idea. I apparently never wrote down what the password should be, like a natural-born fool.That hint had to continue with something like BORN, EDUCATED, SERVED IN ARMY, MARRIED, and the like. "BORN" could be Rochester, or Rochester Minnesota, or St. Mary's or St.Mary's Hospital or something like that. If it was "ARMY", the password would surely be Germany. And so on with names of grade and high school, university, or private business school, many of them having several possible "answers", as above. And maybe some other "wheres" that I can't think of. Of course any of those would be subject to capitalization, spacing, and/or punctuation. A password wilderness.I've worked over those possibilities exhaustively, and haven't struck the real password. I've more or less run dry with variations.That's not a technical problem that anyone could help with remotely, so I have to assume I am not going to come up with the password. And therein lies my present dilemma. I'm not asking for instructions in hacking the password back, as I know you won't do that. The computer came with Windows 7 installed, and I do have a brand-new, never-used, Windows 7 installation set, which I bought for a different computer but haven't installed because that computer doesn't have enough memory or hard drive space. Which leads me to a number of puzzlements:

1. Older versions of Windows, when installed, wiped out EVERYTHING on the hard drive, or at least left them irretrievable. I think I have heard that Windows 7 does not do that. Does anyone know?

If forced to it, I could live with a wiped-clean hard drive if that's what the new installation would do. I have or can get installation disks for the software, and recreating or retrieving the data from backups would be possible, though a pain in the neck.

2. But is it even going to be possible to install the new Windows 7, with or without the hard drive contents? Since I can't boot up, how can I run the Windows 7 installation CD(s)?

3. Where, if anyone knows, is the password stored? If it's in some semipermanent memory in the computer rather than on the hard disk, might I be stuck with that unknown password even after a new Windows 7 install?

4. Or even if I installed a different new hard drive and managed to install Windows 7, would I still be stuck?

Forgot Administrator Password On Windows 7?

May 28, 2012

I've started to use my old laptop as our main one is currently broken down, sadly I have forgotten my administrator password on my laptop and can't access the files originally saved in that area nor do I have the privileges of using the administrator account.Another mistake is that I do not have a password reset key, or what ever it is called. So I have no idea on how to access my account.

Forgot Password To Windows 7 Now Can't Login To Computer

Feb 3, 2013

I have a Toshiba laptop running Windows 7 home premium. I changed the password a few days ago and changed the computer name yesterday. After restart to get the computer name change to take, I can't login to the computer. I did not setup an admin acct and can't login that way. I tried F8 system repair to reset to factory settings but a password is required. I went to F2 and set a user password on security, but it only works to get into the function keys. I would like suggestions of what to do to get into my laptop. I didn't get a restore disc with the machine, but created a restore on an external hard drive.
