So you forgot your Windows 7 password? Hey, it happens. We're supposed to make very complicated passwords so they're difficult to guess but sometimes we make them so complicated that we forget them ourselves.
Answer: Luckily there are several ways to find a Windows 7 password that you forgot:
1. Use the Windows Password Reset Disk
Right now is the time to use that Windows 7 password reset disk that you created. Congrats to you for being proactive!
My guess however is that most of you don't have a Windows 7 password reset disk either because you didn't know the feature existed or you never thought you'd forget your Windows 7 password.
Either way, once you do get in with one of the other ideas below, be sure to make one right away.
2. Try To Guess the Windows 7 Password You Forgot
Don't laugh! You'd be surprised how often this works. Before we jump in to some high-tech password recovery method, make educated guesses as to what your Windows 7 password may have been.
Since most passwords, even highly complicated ones, are often inspired by the places, people and things in our personal and professional lives, you might be able to spur your memory with a little effort.
Could your Windows 7 password have had anything to do with:
- your home or office address?
- a frequently dialed telephone number?
- something from your childhood?
- a favorite number or set of numbers?
- your name?
- the name of a friend, family member, or pet?
- a loved one's birthday?
- a combination of any of the above?
If you've tried guessing, there are no other users on your computer, and you are sure you don't have a Windows 7 password reset disk lying around, then it's time to try something a bit more complicated.
Windows password recovery tools are software tools designed to do your Windows 7 password reset issues. They can sometimes be difficult to use but if you truly have forgotten your Windows 7 password and you can also follow some simple directions, there's an excellent chance that one of these programs will get you back into Windows, like Windows Password Unlocker, Windows Password Breaker and Rekey Windows Password Recovery etc.
