Lost password Windows 7

Just folow the following steps and everything will be ok:
  1. Boot from Windows PE/RE and start the command prompt
  2. Use the following command to create a copy of the Stick Keys application: copy c:/windows/system32/sethc.exe c:/ (where c is the drive letter where your OS is installed)
  3. The next command will replace the Sticky Keys application with command prompt: copy /y c:/windows/system32/cmd.exe c:/windows/system32/sethc.exe
  4. Reboot your computer and when you see the log-on screen and press Shift key five times.
  5. Now you will see a command prompt window. Here you will use the following command: net user you_user_name new_password
  6. That’s it. Now you can use your new password to log in.
  7. Don’t forget to restore the Sticky Keys application:  copy /y c:/sethc.exe c:/windows/system32/sethc.exe.
