Make Pen Drive To Reset Windows 7 Password

Mon, 19 Apr 2010 20:15:54 -0700

Most of us have a PC at home and one at work. We use our work PC most of the times and home PC comparatively less. Did it ever happen to you that you forgot your Windows 7 Password ? Maybe you go for a month long vacations or business trip and when you are back, you may forget some of your passwords to the home Windows 7 PC.

We tend to have lots of passwords at work, online and at various computers. So to save yourself from a locked out situation, we recommend that you create a password reset disk.

In this article, I will share with you a very simple method to create a Windows 7 Password Reset Pen Drive. So next time you are locked out of Windows 7 at the login screen, you can plug in this USB pen drive in your computer and reset the Windows Password.

To create a Windows 7 Password reset pen drive, I advice to have a small capacity pen drive which is cheap and you should keep it at a safe place, but not so safe that you forget where you kept it when you need it sometime in future.

Follow these simple steps:

Step 1. Insert a pen drive (backup any data if present on the pen drive and delete everything). Then go to Windows 7 Start Menu and type “create password reset disk” in the start menu search and launch the program “Create a password reset disk ” which will be highlighted in the search results.

Step 2. Just follow the simple Password reset Wizard as seen below, by selecting the pen drive from a list of drives it will show you. Note: If you have not inserted a Pen Drive before launching the utility, it will not work and will give an error. If the pen drive is in place, you will see Wizard something like the images below. It will also ask for your current password to create a password reset pen drive.

Step 3. Now you simple need to keep this drive at a safe place. You can use this in case you forget your Windows 7 Password sometime in future, just click forgotten password on the login screen and choose the option to Reset Password after inserting this pen drive into any of the working USB ports of your computer.

NOTE: Windows will honor only the most recent Password reset disk that you have created, so in case you happen to create more than one disk, only the one which is latest will work, all other old password reset disk will not be able to reset the Windows 7 Password.

If you have not created a reset disk and have forgotten your password, you can still reset the password using some utilities like Windows Password Recovery Tool. But these processes may cost you little money if you need to buy a software to do that. So to avoid any inconvenience later, we recommend that you create a password reset disk.

If you are using windows 7, you can try some of the steps from this link - it recommends 2 different free softwares you can try. I have used the PC Login Now one. It basically will just blank out the password on an account (can do this for the admin account) so when you go to sign in, just type in the username and leave password field blank. The only downside to this software is it will make you do a checkdisk after you restart because it makes Win7 think there is an issue with the hard drive. After doing the check disk though, it is fine and doesnt ask to do it again. I have seen other tools that you can download for free that will basically crack all the user account passwords on the pc in case you have forgotten one. If you google windows 7 password recover tool you should be able to find others if you do not want to try the ones on the below article.

(If by root password you mean a BIOS password on the laptop before it boots to windows, unplug the laptop, take out its battery, and then take out the CMOS battery. This will reset the BIOS to defaults and remove any password protection from the BIOS)
