Windows 7 admin p.w. issues

[jdove]

I've googled this to hell and still no aval. Is there a way to break through the p.w. since I forgot it?

I'm on by my kid's side now.

Is your kid an admin?

If not, a few questions:

1) Did you ever login after you set the password? How many times?

2) Can you remember the date you set the password? Maybe something happened that day that gave you an idea to be different and 'safer.'

3) Maybe you used the password on a website. It could be stored in the browser(s) you use.

Thanks COPO. Good to see ya man.

I don't have the reset disc. If that were the case, this post would be nill.

This is just a bit over my head. I know it can be done (eventually).

There is a way to create reste the password using a boot CD or USB boot device:
