Password windows7

Having a problem with my laptop, it wont take my password, i'm 100% sure it is the right password, but having tried so many times, it pops up "no user account loaded or words to that effect. I have a second account on the laptop, with no privlages,which i can use, its my first account that has my files loaded.

is there any other way that i can recover my files without losing files etc.
I have tried opening in safe mode, no joy.

operating windows 7
many thanks in advance

 

If you run the Command Processor as an Administrator, at the prompt you can type:

net user administrator /active:yes

Then Open The Control panel and select 'User Accounts' > 'Add or Remove user accounts', select your account and set the password - that way you know the password is correct before going further.

I will try it this evening, and i will let you know how i got on, thank you for your very quick reply.

 

Any problems try the steps listed here:

I used recently used a Win 7 Home Premium repair CD to reset the password in a Win 7 Ultimate installation.

 

attar,

tried, net user administrator /active:yes


not sure what i should do then?

when i try to access users, it looks for a password " for account Paul" the account i'm useing is "Paul 2 account" i looked at your last post pcsupport, there is a lot of info to get through, i will try some of them later, i'm wrecking my head trying to remember my password, I think i have old timers sydrome. chat later

 

If it's asking for a password it means that Paul2 isn't an Administrator.

Did you create a 'System Repair Disk' for your machine or do you have an Installation disk for Windows 7?
You can create a repair disk on another windows 7 machine.
If you don't have a repair disk, I can give you a link.
The procedure to change the password is less complex than it reads.

 

attar,

I had made a repair disk done, and put it in a safe place, where?

I have my laptop with me in work, if you can give me the link i will try it.I tried to get a disc on this computer, but in restricts me from doing so.

Thanks

Paul
