How to view the administrator's password on windows 7?

Question

I need to find out the admin password for my computer, or find a way to log onto it. I'm currently on the admin profile now.. my mother entered her password in before i used it, and she only enters it when i need to do homework.
Any help?

Answer 1

Very sneeky. You cannot find the password unfortunately, but what you can do is go into control panel, click user accounts, and click on your own account and set it as administrator. That way your account will have the same priviledges as your mums account ;)



Either that or just creat a new admin account

Answer 2

Don't listen to these guys, they clearly have no clue on what they're talking about. I am a developer at Microsoft so I know a thing or two about computers. The only way to reset your windows password 100% safe is to use a software called Reset Password Pro.



The software allows you to create a boot-disk, that can be made on a CD/DVD or USB stick. The boot-disk can then be inserted into any locked machine, and it's a simple case of pressing reset. Here is their official site: http://www.resetwindowspass.com

Answer 4

Well You can just remove or change the pass..



Click on Start, type cmd in the Search box, Right click CMD - Run as admin.

Type net user, all user accounts of your computer will be listed.

Type net user "UserName" "NewPassword"(replace UerName and NewPassword with yours), press Enter, then the password will be reset as new one and you can logon Windows 7/Vista with it.
