What Can I Do if I Forgot Administrator Password in Windows 7/Vista?
As you know, with built-in administrator account disabled by default in Win 7/vista, user with administrator right (we call it administrator in following text) has the highest privilege in daily use. What to do if lost administrator password?
Don’t panic, there is a need, there is a way. We will discuss the solutions of clearing administrator password in following two situations:
If you have other account to access computer
In this condition, no trick can be easily used, except that you have another administrator account. The only way to get the lost administrator password by another account is making use of Cain & Abel and LCP.
Cain & Abel, is a Windows 7 password recovery program that we need to run from another user account, which said to be suitable for all popular windows OS. Cain & Abel is more complicated to use than other password recovery apps. Check it out if it might be useful to you.
LCP is also useful in Windows XP/7/vista password recovery. Like Cain and Abel, it is a little difficult and you’ll need access to a user account on the computer.
If you are totally locked out of computer
Though it seems hopeless to retrieve the lost administrator password, the methods are actually easier than the above ones.
Windows 7 password recovery tools can be used in all conditions whether you are locked out or not. Top-rated Windows Password Breaker is one of the best tools, which supports windows XP/7/vista and server 2000/2003/2008.
The whole process is very easy:
Install Windows Password Breaker and burn a bootable Windows 7 password reset disk by CD/DVD or USB flash drive. Set you locked computer boot from it, and then you will get the options to reset forgotten admin password intuitively.
Compared with Cain & Abel and LCP, Windows Password Breaker is more practical for a computer newbie to remove the lost administrator password.
Though it is possible for you to reset windows password nearly all the time, you’d better write down the password or create a password reset disk in advance.
