reset windows 7 password

Reset password in windows 7

First you’ll want to type in the following command to backup the original sticky keys file:

copy c:\windows\system32\sethc.exe c:\

Then you’ll copy the command prompt executable (cmd.exe) over top of the sticky keys executable:

copy c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe c:\windows\system32\sethc.exe

Now you can reboot the PC.

Resetting the Password
Once you get to the login screen, hit the Shift key 5 times, and you’ll see an administrator mode command prompt.

Now to reset the password—just type the following command, replacing the username and password with the combination you want:

net user geek MyNewPassword

That’s all there is to it. Now you can login.

Of course, you’ll probably want to put the original sethc.exe file back, which you can do by rebooting into the installation CD, opening the command prompt, and copying the c:\sethc.exe file back to c:\windows\system32\sethc.exe.

HKCU > Software > Microsoft > Windows > CurrentVersion > Explorer > User Shell Folders.In the right window pane select the required value (i.e. Desktop).Insert the new location for the folder to be stored.Close the registry editor and log off.

When you log back on your Windows 7 folder location such as the desktop will be stored at the new location. You do need to note that any content that was stored in the old location does not move with the change and will need to be moved from the old location to the new location before you will see it again.

screen shot here is an example only.)

Click OK to save the change.

Note: If you encounter this sort of error “Cannot edit
Device: Error writing the value’s new contents“, please
follow the steps below to set the permission of the key.

a) Right-click the Windows key on the left side of the panel
and then click Permissions....

b) Tick the box Allow for Full Control and Read, then
click Apply and click OK to save the change.
