User Password forgotten/Delete User Password

This applies to windows 7.
If you have forgotten the password of the user or if you just need to delete the password you need a windows 7 dvd from your version (Home premium, Professional...).

- Start the computer from the dvd.

- In the first options screen, in the bottom left select Repair your computer.



- Follow through until you can select the option to open the command prompt.



- Type the next steps:
  
      cd c:\windows\system32
      copy sethc.exe sethc.old
      copy cmd.exe sethc.exe
      copy cmd.exe sethc.exe (yes, make do it twice)

- Restart the computer.

- On the Logon screen press SHIFT button five times.

- It will appear a command prompt, type:  control userpasswords2

- The new window will allow you to change or delete the password:


- Select the password yo need to modify and press the button Reset Password in the bottom.

- Now you can change the password or simply leave it blank to leave the user without password.

- Close the windows and Logon!.
