Change or Remove Windows 7 Password after Forgotten

Problem: How to change windows 7 password?
I have 2 accounts on my laptop: User A for work (password protected) User B for random surfing. I forgot to make a password reset disk. So I tried to make one using User B. But every time I try to use it, it tells me an error when wrong when I tried to change the password. Is there any way I can use to access User B again?
Solution: Change User Password Windows 7
A password reset disk can be only used for the user account you’ve created it for. It means that the password reset disk for User B cannot be used for User A. But you can simply change user A password with User B if User B is a administrator account.
In Windows 7, there are three different types of accounts: Administrator, Standard and Guest. And only the Administrator account allows you to set up your computer, install any programs that you’d like to use, and make settings that affects other user accounts. For more information about user accounts, please see User accounts: frequently asked questions.
So if User B is an administrator account, you can change the forgotten password of User B as follows: (Tip: For more ways, please see 5 Easy Ways to Change Windows 7 Password.)
  • Step 1: Log into User B, click Start button, type lusrmgr.msc into the Search box, and then press ENTER. The Local Users and Groups will open.
