Resetting Password on Windows 7 using Command Prompt

Forgetting your Windows 7 login password can be a frustrating experience. However, you can reset your password using Command Prompt (CMD) with the following steps:

  1. Restart your Windows 7 computer and press F8 before the Windows logo appears to enter Advanced Boot Options.
  2. Select 'Safe Mode with Command Prompt' and press Enter.
  3. When the Command Prompt window opens, type 'net user username new_password' (replace 'username' with your actual username and 'new_password' with the new password you want).
  4. Press Enter and then restart your computer normally. You can now log in with the new password.

It's essential to create a password reset disk or remember your password to avoid such situations in the future.
