It is quite a frequent occurrence to lose computer password nowadays. On the one hand, we have lots of passwords for various accounts ranging from email, files to personal bank accounts etc, so it's hard for us to remember all of them. In these situations, we may lose our Windows 7 password by forgetting it; on the other hand, hackers are so aggressive today that an easy and fragile password can be illegally broken within seconds!

1. Change lost Windows 7 password in 3 steps:

Step1: Start your computer and press "Ctrl+Alt+Delete" twice when you see Windows Login screen.
Step2: Type Administrator in username box and leave the password column blank. Then hit "Enter" to log on.
Step3: Now you successfully accessed to Windows 7 system. And then you can change the lost Windows 7 password as usual, from: "Start->Control Panel->User Accounts".

You may feel surprised at how the lost Windows 7 password can be changed without knowing its original password in this way. This is because in each Windows operating system, there is a built-in Administrator account without password protected and hidden but having highest privilege over the computer by default. So many computer users may not notice of it since they cannot see it from Windows login screen or User Accounts. If you haven't done any change for this defaulted admin, then you can try this way. If not, then move to below.
