How to Reset Windows 7 Password with USB flash drive

Forgot Windows 7 passwords? Learn how to reset forgotten Windows 7 password by creating a Windows password reset disk on your USB flash drive.

There are a number of ways to reset your Windows 7 password, but using a USB flash drive is one of the simplest and most effective methods. Here's how to do it:

1. Download and install Kon-Boot on your USB flash drive.

2. Boot from the USB flash drive.

3. Select the "Kon-Boot" option when the boot menu appears.

4. Kon-Boot will bypass the Windows 7 password prompt and allow you to log in without a password.

5. Once you're logged in, open the Control Panel and go to User Accounts.

6. Select the account you want to change the password for, and then click Change Password.

7. Enter your new password twice, and then click Change Password.

8. Reboot your computer, and then log in with your new password.

If you don't have a Kon-Boot USB drive, you can also use a Windows 7 password reset disk. To create a password reset disk, you'll need a blank USB flash drive and a copy of the Windows 7 installation disc.

1. Insert the USB flash drive into your computer and open the Control Panel.

2. Go to User Accounts, and then click Create a password reset disk.

3. Follow the instructions to create the password reset disk.

4. Once the password reset disk is created, insert it into the computer that you want to reset the password for.

5. Boot from the password reset disk.

6. When prompted, enter the password for the account you want to reset.

7. Follow the instructions to reset your password.

8. Reboot your computer and log in with your new password.

If you don't have a Kon-Boot USB drive or a password reset disk, you can still reset your Windows 7 password by using the built-in Administrator account. The Administrator account is disabled by default, but you can enable it by booting into Safe Mode.
