iGuest 3 Report post Posted November 7, 2011 Replying to VaibhavWhat you have to understand is that the function key that allows you to choose which mode to boot in is determined by the motherboard, not the operating system. So if f11 works for one person, and f8 for another, all it means is that they are using different motherboard brands. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

polomolo 0 Report post Posted November 29, 2013 Download a programme called AppGeeker, it will allow you to boot into active disk before the os kicks in and you can just delete off the password. http://www.appgeeker.com/guide/reset-windows-7-password.html The primary use of the software is to backup the os but it allows you to remove passwords when clients forget them.

By the way, this resets the password. I think that the topic starter idea was to get admin rights in order to perform some administrative tasks (disk defrag) without changing the admin password. Changing or removing the password is somehow brutal and does not really reach the initial goal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
