If you can log into Windows with Admin privileges (but have forgotten the password to a User account), log in as Admin (or as an account with Admin rights), go to Control Panel/User Accounts and select the User for which you wish to change the password. Select the account and you will see an option to change or set a password for it. If you cannot log into Windows at all, then one of the best free utilities is Offline NT Password & Registry Editor (ONTP&RE). To install and use this, you will need access to another computer with Internet access and a CD burner. You will have to download the software and create a bootable CD which you can then run on your PC. See here for details: http://pcsupport.about.com/od/toolsofthetrade/gr/offlinentpwed.htm This program will delete any password for the selected account rather than recovering the existing one. Once you have access to the account (which will now simply be a matter of pressing Enter when asked to enter a password), you can then change it to whatever you prefer.

A few days ago,I had met the headache things that I had forgotten Windows login password. The login screen rejected my passwords. I was frustrated because there was very important data on my disk and I couldn't reinstall the OS. However, I fortunately got to know the Reset Windows Password utility - http://www.top-password.com/reset-windows-password.html , which is a professional Windows password recovery tool for us to reset Windows 7 password instantly yet no data loss.
