Get past Windows 7 Password

Trinity Rescue disk is a great program if you have forgotten your password for Windows Vista or Windows 7.

The first thing you will want to do is download the latest trinity rescue disk. The next important step is to make sure you know the Name of your user account whose password has been forgotten.
Once you have the ISO burned on to a CD just place it in the CD Drive and restart the machine.
(for a free ISO burning software check cdburnerxp)

(1) When the computer starts boot the PC from the CD. this will start the trinity rescue disk.
(2) let it count down to 0 and let it run untill you get to the command prompt with the #.
(3) Type: winpass -u user
(user will be the user whose password you want to crack)
(4) Next you will have to choose which operating system by typing the number associated with it. (ie: 1)
Most people will only have one option at this point. A few unlucky folks will have more than one. In which case you will have to guess until you are correct. Guess wrong and you may have to start back at the beginning. The good news is that you will have eliminated which one it is not by the time you get back to this step.
(5) It may ask something along the lines of are you sure you want to do this? type y for yes.
(7) Now that your at the command prompt, you should see a group of names at the top of the screen and choices at the bottom of the screen. For the quick and easy fix type 1 to clear the password. If you do not see choices at the bottom of the screen you may need to redo step (4)
(8) Once it says that its done press control alt delete and restart the pc. Take the disc out of the cd drive and let the pc boot.
You should be able to access the account now.
