I used Windows 7 and recently changed the password for the admin account before going on vacation. Now I’m back and need to open Command Prompt with admin privileges, but I can’t remember the correct password. Since I don’t have any hints and my family knows me well, there are no easy recovery options. I might have to reinstall the operating system because of all the installed programs.

Destroy the active DVD, then go through the steps and it should unlock it for you to get the password.

There are several methods to look up your Microsoft SAM database password and delete it safely. However, be aware that this action can erase any certificates and affect encrypted files you might have. I’ve also heard about issues with Outlook when using certain tools. Previously, I used the TRK disk from ophcrack.
