New member Username: XakagizPost Number: 1 Registered: Jun-16 | Forgot the password of my old Windows 7 laptop. I already tried all the password combinations i could think up. What is the quickest and secure way to reset the forgotten password? I don't want to reinstall the os because i have important data on C drive. |

You need to google a password recovery program, create the bootable media, and then reset the password. Or try something like Offline NT Password & Registry Editor which removes the password. The trick to any of these is that you have to create a cd, then boot from it. |

As far as I konw, UUkeys Windows password recovery is better then others, just 3 steps you can reset your win 7 password. http://www.uukeys.com/reset-windows-7-password.html |

Start your computer in Safe Mode and log in as the Administrator account. If that account is also password protected, try the other Windows 7 password reset tools, like PCUnlocker, chntpw, Ophcrack, Ultimate BootCD, Hiren's BootCD or others. |
