Posted February 4, 201213 yr comment_15441 Method 1 1. Go to Control Panel and click on the Administrative Tools. 2. Under this section double click on Computer Management. 3. Select System Tools from left window pane. 4. Under this, just double click on Local Users and Groups and then on Users 5. Now you will see all the login accounts of your computer. Right click on any the account whose password you want to change and then click on Set Password. 6. A warning message will popup on your screen just click on Proceed button. 7. Now enter your New Password and click on OK button. That’s it! your windows 7 password is changed without knowing current password. (The only limitation of this method is that your current account should have Administrative privileges.) Method 2 You can reset the password from the command line. To open the Windows command line, just go to your start menu then choose “run” (or press your Windows key and then press R). Then in the box that pops up, type cmd and press enter. In the black box that comes up, type net user then enter. This will give you a list of all your Windows accounts on that computer. To change the password for one of these accounts is very simple. Say the Windows account name is asks and you want to change the password to mypa$$word then you just need to type the following : net user asks mypa$$word http://forum.gizmolord.com/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=2311.0;attach=5064 After pressing enter, you should then get a message saying “the command completed successfully”. That means the password has now been changed and you can now log into that account. This is useful when you have forgotten the password to one of those accounts and you are locked out. Then, provided you are the administrator, you can reset the password from the command line

February 6, 201213 yr Author comment_15716 Worst part! An administrator can anyway change the password of other user accounts!But there is a way to login with admin privileges from even a guest account using a set of code and making it as batch file... I will make one tutorial soon
February 6, 201213 yr comment_15719 But there is a way to login with admin privileges from even a guest account using a set of code and making it as batch file... I will make one tutorial soon OMG Reallly? We can login with admin privilages through Limited/Guest account too?
February 6, 201213 yr Author comment_15724 OMG Reallly? We can login with admin privilages through Limited/Guest account too? yeah, a small hack/trick
February 7, 201213 yr comment_15739 Actually that trick works on Windows Vista, 7 and 8. Windows creates a hidden administrator account which can be activated using a simple command in cmd.exe either in safe mode or as a guest.

February 19, 201213 yr comment_17560 METHOD 3: 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:\windows\system32\sethc.exe c:\ (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:\windows\system32\cmd.exe c:\windows\system32\sethc.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.
