Windows 7 is the newest in a long line of successful software programs that is used by millions of people worldwide. I'm sure you were excited the first time you logged in and began using all of the applications. However, when it comes to understanding how to recover user password in Windows 7, there is no obvious solution.
You would think that the company that makes this great software platform would improve the way it handles this particular issue, but unfortunately, that didn't happen. And, now you're stuck, like many other users, wondering how you're going to be able to get back into your computer to use Windows 7 again.
You can completely reset your password if you have a Windows reset disk. However, this may wipe out some of the data you currently have stored. Data which you need in order to perform your normal work tasks.
If you can somehow access an available administrator account, then you can manually go to the control panel and find the locked administrator account. From there, you could change the password to something else.
However, if you can't do either of the above, then your best bet is to use a quality password reset software program. This program is designed specifically to access all Windows based systems, and quickly allow you to bypass the administrator password that's currently being used.
