I got a brand new Windows 7 machine, installed the operating system, created one account and forgot its password. What can I do?

There is no external CD, the operating system is loaded from somewhere inside the machine.

I already tried to remember passwords and tried all candidates with all possible combinations of caps lock, num lock etc.

1. If you have an Ubuntu live CD you can reset it using chntpw application
2. You can use Bart's PE + Password Renew to reset the password
3. You can use Offline NT Password Editor to reset the password.

Detailed instructions on using any of the 3 are available over here.

If you can find a Microsoft ERD 6.5 or 7.0 boot disk, it can reset the Windows 7 password. It has to match the bit version to work, 32 or 64-bit Windows 7.

ERD (Emergency Repair Disc) boot disk is part of the DaRT (Diagnostic and Recovery Toolset), which is part of MDOP (Microsoft Desktop Optimization Pack). These are not available to the public, but they can be found.

ERD comes in five versions currently:

• 5.0 for XP
• 6.0 for Vista
• 6.5 or 7.0 for Windows 7
• 8.0 for Windows 8, 8.1
• 10.0 for Windows 10

There is an alternative method for Windows 7; all you need is either a Windows 7 install disk, System Repair Disk or WinRE partition on the hard drive.

Use F8 or boot from the disc. Once RE loads, choose 'Repair your Computer', then load Command Prompt and run these two commands. The second command you will get a prompt to overwrite; say 'yes'.

Restart the PC. When you reach the Login screen, hit the Shift key five times. A command window will open. Type the following:

and hit the Enter key, and when prompted to overwrite, type 'Yes', and hit the Enter key again, and close the command window, and log on with the new password you just created.

After that you might want to put the original sticky key file back in its place, so go ahead and boot your PC with the repair CD or USB that you used earlier, and in the command prompt window type the following:

press Enter, then when prompted to Overwrite, type 'Yes' and hit the Enter key again, then close the window, and restart the PC.

Or if you prefer a 3rd party password cracker, here is a good one'tested from NT3.5 up to Windows 8.1, including the server versions like 2003, 2008 and 2012. Also 64 bit windows supported.'

Run an Ophcrack LiveCD to try and crack the password, provided that you have a sufficiently easy alphanumerical password.

Offine NT Password & Registry Editor works basically the same as PC Login Now in that it erases your Windows password instead of recovering it. You can then simply log in to your account without entering a password.

Grab a copy of unetbootin from here. Install NTpasswd onto a flash drive. By running NTpasswd off the flash drive you'll be able to reset the password on the computer to blank. It's pretty easy to use as well.

Use this bootdisk to boot PCs with Windows OSes to blank out the LOCAL user account passwords, ENABLE or DISABLE LOCAL user accounts, etc.

You can use this if you've forgotten your LOCAL Windows user account password, you've done a factory reimage/reset on your Windows OS and the account has a password you don't know what it is, and things of this sort of nature so you can log into Windows as some account WITHOUT a password just to get in, and then set the password from the Windows Control Panel, etc. to something you do know afterwards.

THE STEPS IN BRIEF

1. Download the bootdisk image file

2. Burn bootdisk image file onto media (e.g. USB or CD) to boot PC from it rather than the hard drive or Windows.

3. Put the newly burned bootdisk media into the PC, and then instruct the PC to boot from it rather than the internal hard drive with Windows installed.

4. Follow the instruction from the below section labeled INSTRUCTIONS ONCE BOOTED TO for what options to pick, etc. to enable existing local Windows accounts and/or blank out the password of the accounts and so on.

Offline Windows Password & Registry Editor, Bootdisk / CD

I've put together a CD or USB Drive image which contains things needed to reset the passwords on most systems.

The bootdisk should support most of the more usual disk controllers, and it should auto-load most of them. Both PS/2 and USB keyboard supported.

More or less tested from NT3.5 up to Windows 8.1, including the server versions like 2003, 2008 and 2012. Also 64 bit windows supported.

DANGER WILL ROBINSON!

If password is reset on users that have EFS encrypted files, and the system is XP or newer, all encrypted files for that user will be UNREADABLE! and cannot be recovered unless you remember the old password again If you don't know if you have encrypted files or not, you most likely don't have them. (except maybe on corporate systems)

How to use?

_{Please read the walthrough (now a bit outdated, sorry) and the FAQ before mailing me questions}

If you have the CD or USB, all drivers are included.

Overview

1. Get the machine to boot from the CD or USB drive.
2. Load drivers (usually automatic, but possible to run manual select)
3. Disk select, tell which disk contains the Windows system. Optionally you will have to load drivers.
4. PATH select, where on the disk is the system? (now usually automatic)
5. File select, which parts of registry to load, based on what you want to do.
6. Password reset or other registry edit.
7. Write back to disk (you will be asked)

DON'T PANIC!! - Most questions can usually be answered with the default answer which is given in [brackets]. Just press enter/return to accept the default answer.

What can go wrong?

Well. Lots of things, actually. But most of the problems is of the type 'cannot find' something. And then nothing happens.

Also, see the FAQ for help with common problems.

INSTRUCTIONS ONCE BOOTED TO

It may be best to print these instruction and then follow from that printed copy—and print from the version on the web site resource URL perhaps too in case they update something with it since after my post here.

This is the detail that explains what options to pick once the bootdisk starts booting to find and point to the internal hard drive and pick the current Windows OS objects to blank out the LOCAL user accounts on that Windows OS on the hard drive.

This part may seem complex or involved at first, but just let the bootdisk boot up and go through the screen until it prompts or waits for you to tell it what to do. Look over these instructions and just pick the appropriate options as instructed—it should make sense so just read it over until you get it.

Typically though you'll. . .

a. pick the Windows disk partition on the hard drive the bootdisk inspects

b. from the list of usernames it finds, type the name of the account you'll change (e.g. administrator, jsmith, etc.)

c. from the next list, it'll tell you if the account is disabled, expired, etc. so you know what you'll need change to reset it for specifically to ensure you can sign on with it afterwards when booted back to Windows

d. on the next screen you'll want to unlock the account, blank the password on the account or set account as local administrator (option 1, 3, and 4).

• i. you may need to do step 'd.' one time per action and then pick the username of the account again for the next action if it needsmore than one action completed (e.g. blank password, unlock account,etc.)

• ii. I'd just steer clear of setting passwords here and just do that through Windows Control Panel once you get signed onto Windows with a blank password as administrator, etc.

e. be sure you select 'Y' to save your changes to and then when the PC reboots, let it reboot to Windows and then sign on with the blank password to the account you changed with the bootdisk.

If it doesn't work, boot to the bootdisk and do it again, maybe you didn't pick some option so it didn't do what you expected it to. Since you're factory wiping this hard drive anyway, there should not be much danger in loosing anything or corrupting anything as then you'd just reimage/factory reset it again.

_{Resource:http://pogostick.net/~pnh/ntpasswd/walkthrough.html}

You can gain command line access (in SYSTEM context) to a Windows computer by changing a couple of registry values. You can then reset passwords, create new accounts, run cracking tools, and so on.

This is the short version, for advanced users and sysadmins:

1) Boot to Windows 7 from the installation or repair DVD, or from Windows PE 3 boot media, or from a Windows 7 installation on another HDD. (If the target OS is Vista, use the Vista installation DVD, or Windows PE 2, or another Vista installation. If the target OS is Windows XP, use Windows PE or another Windows XP installation.)

2) Load the SYSTEM registry hive from the target OS. Back it up first.

3) In the Setup key, change SetupType to 2 and CmdLine to cmd.exe.

4) Boot the target OS. You’ll get a command-line window in system context.

There are more details here including instructions for non-experts on using this technique to reset a password. (Remember that resetting a password will result in the loss of all encrypted files and data.)

You can reset your password using another tool called Hiren's BootCD.

Download Hiren's Boot from here, unzip it and use BurnCDCC.exe to burn the ISO to a DVD.

Boot using Hiren's Boot on your locked PC and in the menu shown select Offline NT/2000/XP/Vista/7 Password Changer and click Enter twice (for confirmation and to continue for the list of Linux Kernel Boot).

In the following prompt select the correct drive where the Windows is installed. Press Enter to confirm that your registry directory is Windows/system32/config.

On the chntpw Main Interactive Menu select [1] for Edit user data and passwords

Select the user you want to reset the password by typing the username and hitting Enter

There you have a list of options for this user. [1] should be for Clear the password. After successfully resetting your forgotten Windows password, type “!” to close the User Editor Tool.

Now type “q” and hit Enter to close the Offline Password Editor and Registry tool.

Now type “y” and hit Enter to confirm the password change.

Now it will ask you whether you want to use it again or not. Just type “n” and hit Enter.

Remove your CD and restart the PC and your user shouldn't have a password anymore.

Hope this helps you.

Adding an answer to cover the method that worked for me (which is not yet fully covered in other answers here). This works for Windows 7, later versions of windows have this exploit closed.

I attempted some other procedures listed in other answers without success. What worked for me was the replace sethc.exe (sticky keys) with cmd.exe hack/trick. But I had to do this through using Notepad.exe which is run to view logfiles after system recovery. Other techniques to get in on command-line as admin with drive mounted didn't work so I had to use this Notepad trick.

Procedure:

1. Shutdown and reboot. When Windows starting is seen hold down the power button and power off.

2. Power on. Windows boot should report that last Windows start up failed so it will give the option of 'Launch startup repair'. Choose this option.

3. Cancel the Startup Repair. Cancel the System Restore.

4. A report dialog will show reporting repair could not be done. In there expand 'View problem details'. Under problem details a link to x:/windows/.. log file is shown. Click on this.

5. Notepad.exe opens showing the logfile. This Notepad is running as Administrator and the mounted filesystem x: is your hard disk.

   5.1 Notepad: File - Open - browse to X:/Windows/system32 - scroll to sethc.exe

   5.2 Right-click on sethc.exe and rename to sethc-BACKUP.exe

   5.3 Scroll to cmd.exe. Right-click on cmd.exe. Copy. Right click. Paste.

   5.4. When I pasted cmd.exe the command-line ran (as Administrator) so I did 'cd x:/Windows/system32' and then 'copy cmd.exe sethc.exe' on command-line.

   5.4-1 If you prefer not command-line then just use Notepad File Open browser and make a copy of cmd.exe and rename it to sethc.exe

6. Reboot without any funny stuff.

7. At login page hit shift key 5 times or more triggering sticky keys. Instead of sticky keys prompt a command-line dialog appears. Running as Administrator. 'net user Administrator *' to set the password.

Good description with screenshots of the procedure here:http://null-byte.wonderhowto.com/how-to/hack-windows-7-become-admin-0160151/

Background: The Administrator password with laptop was not known by owner. They had a user account with admin privs so didn't find the need of it. UNTIL the windows login page stopped showing their user! We are guessing the User profile became corrupt or had something bad in it.

I attempted a series of procedures before getting the Notepad+sticky keys replace hack to work. For the record here they are (and the problem I encountered with them):

1. When trying to log in as Administrator after an incorrect password you are prompted to insert rescue disk (in order to reset password). We had a Windows 7 rescue disk on cd. But the prompt asked for floppy or USB. I had no handy USB stick and was too lazy to go shopping and messing with creating USB boot disk.

2. Using system repair disk to get in on command-line did not allow the replacing of sethc.exe with cmd.exe trick/hack. Or allow resetting admin password 'net use Administrator *'. The command-line was running as admin but not as the real admin on machine more as the system repair admin and the disk did not seem to be mounted with full access . . . ~ not sure ~

3. Using linux system rescue cd (https://www.system-rescue-cd.org (version 4.8.2)) I could not mount the drive. I would kindof see it was a GPT partitioned drive - tools ntfs-3g gparted sfdisk should work with GPT but didn't. This computer has a prompt for username + domain + password before windows starts so not sure but maybe there is some extra security (which is needed to mount drive?)

What eventually DID work was follow system recover sequence (no external/additional cd needed) at end view logfile (opens in Notepad). Then do file open - browse to cmd.exe - copy - paste - overwrite sethc.exe. Then reboot - trigger sticky keys - set password using command-line 'net user Administrator *'.

In conclusion, this solution doesn't require you to have any extra boot or repair CD. It is very portable :-) It is pretty simple. So it is probably worth trying as one of the first password recovery methods.

Use Kon-Boot to boot into the system bypassing the login. After you login change to your required password.

Some of the answers here are quite complicated for some. The easiest way I know is to use windows password rescuer.

For local windows account, you can reset the password by following this tutorial.

Reset Admin-Password Windows 8.1, November 2016

I'd prefer to answer to this question, because it is about Windows 8.1 and not 7, but it has been closed unwisely.

To avoid any misunderstanding: I needed to recover a Win 8.1 admin-pw.

If you try this answer: https://superuser.com/a/952224/82741 , and its Option 1, you'll find, that the trick no longer works.

The last step, when @td512 suggests to use net user .., it did not work in my case. Instead, I found that I can have a GUI from Windows to change the PW: type control userpasswords2, which made it appear, instead of net user ...
