Nowadays more and more people like to create a password on their computer. In fact, creating a Windows password is a good way to protect your precious computer data from unauthorized users. Unfortunately, the password is easy to be forgotten due to various reasons. In order to regain access to your computer and your precious computer data, you need to reset Windows 7 password when you forget it.

Windows 7 password reset isn't difficult. Just follow this tutorial you can easily reset Windows 7 password with CD/DVD or USB flash drive.

Step 1: Pick a good Windows password recovery tool

To reset Windows 7 password, you need to pick a good Windows password recovery tool. A good Windows password recovery tool should work for all versions of Windows, like Windows 7, Windows Vista and Windows XP. Then, select the appropriate edition of the software. Generally speaking, the Windows password recovery tool has 2 or 3 different editions. Take Rekeysoft Windows Password Recovery for example, it has 3 editions:

Standard Edition allows you to reset forgotten or lost Windows password for Windows 7, Vista, XP, 2000 by creating a bootable password reset CD/DVD.

Professional Edition allows you to reset Windows administrator or user password on any Windows Platform by creating a bootable CD/DVD or USB flash drive.

Enterprise Edition enables you to reset all Windows passwords, including domain password.

Step 2: Prepare a blank CD/DVD or USB flash drive

As your computer is locked and you are not able to log on it, you need to find another available computer to download and install the password recovery software you choose to create the bootable CD/DVD or USB flash drive. Please note the computer should have a CD/DVD burner. Both internal and external driver are OK. Of course, the device - a blank CD/DVD or USB flash drive - should also be prepared.

Step 3: Create a bootable CD/DVD or USB flash drive

Once you choose the software and the device, you can begin to create a bootable CD/DVD or USB flash drive. Here I take Rekeysoft Windows Password Recovery Professional for an example to show you the whole process. First run the program and select to create a bootable CD/DVD or a bootable USB flash drive, then click Burn to start burning. Click OK when the task is completed. It is very simple and just takes you a few seconds.

Step 4: Reset Windows 7 password with the CD/DVD/USB

When you have created a bootable CD/DVD or USB flash drive, insert the CD/DVD or USB flash drive into your locked computer and boot the locked computer from the CD/DVD/USB flash drive. Then you can reset Windows 7 password under Win PE. First choose the user name whose password you want to reset and click Reset button, and then click OK to confirm and continue your operation. Now you have successfully reset the password. You can restart your computer and enter Windows system without password.
