How to Reset Windows 7 Administrator Password on My Laptop

I have windows 7 Home Premium and i forgot the administrator password. whenever i start the windows 7, it asks for the password to log in. unfortunately, i forgot it. what to do?
I forgot the administrator's password. I'm not able to log in to windows. It says, "did you forgot the password?" whenever i try to log in. How do i reset forgotten Windows 7 admin password without losing data?

In your
your situation,you can recover your password form Safe Mode.Windows 7 system has a built-in administrator account that is created during Windows installation and disable by default, which has no password in it. You need to enable that account before forgetting
your other admin account password. Otherwise your built-in administrator account won’t appear in the screen in this tip.
Step 1: Start your win 7 computer and press “F8″ while the computer boots up. Scroll down to “Safe Mode with Command Prompt” with the arrow keys on the keyboard and press “Enter.” Your computer starts in Safe Mode with Command Prompt.
Step 2: Select the Administrator account that appear in the screen, then enter command prompt. Type: net user ****** 123456 and enter (****** is the account name and 123456 is the new password), it will show you a message that” the command completed successfully.
Step 3: Restart your win 7 computer, then you can log in as ****** with the password 123456. You can go to control Panel to change your account password if necessary.
If this
way doesn't work you can try a tool named Windows Password Recovery Tool Ultimate.

    Did you disable UNIX group and ENS login authorities? Check with:
    # /opt/tarantella/bin/tarantella config list --login-ens
    # /opt/tarantella/bin/tarantella config list --login-unix-group
    They should both return 1. If not use config edit to set them accordingly.

  • How to Reset Windows 2008/R2 Domain Administrator Password

    How to Reset Windows Server 2008/R2 Domain Administrator password if forgot or lost it?
    It is annoying and bad to forget a Windows Server 2008/r2 Domain administrator login password. It is troublesome unless you have that Windows Server 2008/r2 password reset disk. We can still find several tricks to reset Windows Server Domain password but they require a mass of operations and waste a lot of time. For example, you can reset Windows Server 2008/R2 domain administrator password with an installation disk but it requires you to type a mass of command line. So today I want to share everyone an omnipotent method to reset Windows Server 2008/R2 Domain/local administrator password. You need the following 3 things.
    An accessible PC.
    A USB/CD/DVD flash drive.
    The Windows password reset tool Daossoft Windows Password Rescuer.
    Then it requires 4 steps as below:
    Step 1: Download and install Daossoft Windows Password Rescuer into that accessible computer.
    Step 2: Burn it to the flash drive.
    Step 3: Boot your Windows Server computer from the flash drive.
    Step 4: Follow its instruction and click “Reset Password” button to reset your Windows 2008/R2 Domain/Local administrator password.
    More details in this video: Windows Server 2008 R2 Password Reset - Reset Domain or Local Password.

    It wasn't difficult to reset the domain password and I think Microsoft's policy of not providing an easy forward way is to create an
    illusion of security which is not there. Linux systems that are much more secure that MSFT software allow easy password reset when physical access is there so why not include the same tools in System Repair tools or using F8?
    Anyhow, this guide helped me reset the password in 5 minutes. Read the bottom of it to find the scripted / automatic version of the process:

  • HT4798 how can i reset my administrator password if i forgot the password?

    I recently bought a macbook pro. I set it up last night, and i know i have the correct administrator (myself, the only user) and password, yet for some reason when i go to type my sername and password, it says it's incorrect. Therefor, i need to figure out how to change my administrator password or username, or find out where i can find the info to tell me what it is, incase i typed either in incorrectly.

    Did you try using your Apple ID to reset the password?
    Did you enable FileVault?
    If you get nowhere:
    Changing or resetting an account password (Lion):
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1274
    Scroll down to Resetting the original administrator account password. Try the procedure under reset your user password with your Apple ID.
    If that does not work for whatever reason you can also use the following technique:
    Restart your Mac while holding down the ⌘ and R keys at the same time until you see the Mac OS X Utilities screen.
    From the menu bar at the top, select Utilities > Terminal.
    In the Terminal window type resetpassword and press Enter. A window will open behind Terminal that looks like this
    Select your startup volume ("Macintosh HD" in the above screenshot), choose your user account from the dropdown selection, enter a new password, complete the password hint field, and click Save.
    You may then see a confirmation dialog explaining how this change affects Keychain Access and what to do about it. Remember it or write it down, then click OK.
    Quit Reset Password
    Quit Terminal
    Quit OS X Utilities and restart your Mac.

    Forgot Your Account Password
    For Snow Leopard and earlier
         Mac OS X 10.6- If you forget your administrator password
    For Lion/Mountain Lion
        Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
         When the menubar appears select Terminal from the Utilities menu.
         Enter resetpassword at the prompt and press RETURN. Follow
         instructions in the dialog window that will appear.
         Or see Reset a Mac OS X 10.7 Lion Password and
         OS X Lion- Apple ID can be used to reset your user account password.
    If you are unable to boot from an installer DVD:
    (these will only work on Leopard or earlier)
      1. Boot to Safe Mode by restarting and after the chime press and hold down
          the COMMAND-S keys until a black screen with white type appears.
      2. At the prompt, type the following commands pressing return after each
          command line:
         /sbin/fsck -yf
         If you do not receive a "Filesystem OK" message then repeat this command
         until you do.  If after seven tries you still do not receive a "Filesystem OK"
         message, then the system is corrupted and needs to be reinstalled.
         mount -uw /
         cd /private/var/db/netinfo
         mv local.nidb local.old
         rm ../.AppleSetupDone
         shutdown -r now
    The second-to-last command above will cause OS X to think that the operating system is newly installed, and when the new owner starts up the computer it will send him/her to the startup wizard where he/she can start a new user without reinstalling.
    This last method does not actually change a password. It simply removes the user accounts and lets you create an initial admin account as if the computer were new out of the box.
    Reset Admin Password Using The Terminal
    You can reset the password by printing out (or writing down) and carefully following these steps.
    First, find the short name of the admin user on the machine. The easiest way of doing this is by looking at what the directory is called in the Users folder.
    Now, start in Single-user Mode. It should boot into a command line.
    Enter these exact lines. Press RETURN after each.
    mount -uw /
    ifconfig lo0 up
    cd /var/db/netinfo
    netinfod -s local
    Now you'll need that short name. Enter "passwd", a space, and the short name of the admin. For example, if the admin was rather prosaically called "imadmin", you would enter "passwd imadmin".
    The computer will now prompt you to change the password for "lmadmin" (or whatever the short name was). Go ahead and enter a new password.
    Now, enter:
    sync
    reboot
    and the machine will reboot. The admin password should now be changed.

Select Setup, then Tools, then Restore Factory Defaults. "Restore Factory Defaults" is the last item on the list, and then you will have to scroll down to see it.

    If you've just added an address to your account then it will be an alternate/secondary email address, a rescue email address can only be added by answering 2 of your security questions. If you already had one on your account then go to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you should see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
    If you don't have a rescue email addressthen you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.

    There are several ways to back up a Mac that is unable to fully boot. You need an external hard drive to hold the backup data.
    1. Boot from your recovery partition (10.7 or later), a local Time Machine backup volume (10.7.2 or later), or your installation disc (10.6.8 or earlier.) Launch Disk Utility and follow the instructions in the support article linked below, under “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility.”
