If you have forgotten the password for your account, it is not the end of the world and there are ways to open Windows 7 without password. In fact, there are multiple methods you can use to log-in to your computer without a password.

1. Using the password reset disk

The first method you can use to open an admin account without a password is to use a password reset disk. A password reset disk helps you reset your password when you have forgotten it. It must have been created before you forgot your password.

If you have such a disk handy with you, the following teaches how to open PC without password Windows 7 using that disk.

Insert your password reset disk into your computer and boot your computer. When you reach the login screen, click on the Reset password option.
Hit Next on the following screen and continue.
You will be asked to choose a password reset disk from the dropdown menu on your screen. Select your disk from the list and click on Next to continue.
You can now set a new password for your admin account. Enter a password and click on Next to continue.

From now on, you can use the newly created password to access your admin account on your Windows 7 computer. There are certain disadvantages of this method:

If you do not already have a password reset disk, you cannot use this method.
The reset disk that you use must have been created on the same computer you use it on.

2. Using Free Windows Password Remover

It may sound strange but a Ubuntu Linux CD can be used to remove the password from a user account on a Windows computer. You can boot your computer from the CD and then run a few commands and your Windows password will be removed.

Download Ubuntu and create a bootable drive from it.
Boot your computer from the newly created drive.
When Linux boots-up, press Ctrl + Alt + T to open Terminal. Run the following command in it.

sudo apt-get install chntpw

sudo chntpw SAM
