Reset Windows 7 Administrator Password






In this method we will be
leveraging "Sticky keys" function of windows OS.
for this you just need a WIN7 DVD
and have to make some dos
commands.

>> Start your Win 7 computer with WIN7 DVD as bootable media ,

Choose Recover ( Repair ) option
Choose Recovery Tools, Command
prompt

>> Type the following command in
Command prompt
copy
c;windowssystem32sethc.exe

(replace “c:” with the correct drive letter if your Windows
is not on C

>> Type this command to replace
sethc.exe with cmd.exe ;copy /y

c:windowssystem32cmd.exe

c:windowssystem32sethc.exe

>> Now take Win7 DVD out and
restart your computer normally.

>> At logon screen press shift key
continuously 5 times and you will
get
a command prompt with escalated
privileges to make any change
( This happened because we have
changed Sticky key file with
command prompt )

>> Finally enter the following
command to reset the Windows
password ; net user "your_ user_name" "new_password"

>> You can easily see which
username you you want to reset as
it will be there on
logon screen but If you don’t know
your user name or actual username
is different from display name then just type "net
user" to list the available user
names.

>> Exit from command prompt and
Login Note: If you want to restore Sethc
file then you again need to do it by
using Win 7 DVD
as you cant change while you are
logged into windows.
