My lad has forgotten his password for windows 7 on his laptop and is unable to log on.

Does anyone know how to reset please?
Thanks :D
 
Is he the only administrator set up on it?

I don't know if it works for Windows 7, but I know on XP, if you start in safe mode, you can go into an Administrator account (that isn't normally shown in normal startup) and go into User Profiles and change a password from there.
 
The OP's son wouldn't be the admin, so just log in as admin, and reset the password.

Or boot up in safe mode, edit user accounts..

I think there is also a security question to remind you of the password?

Easy peasy to bypass login password.
 
There is a lot of people posting their first post in this thread. I wouldn't use their software.
