[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Locked Out Of Computer After Repair Reinstall!!

Posted: 5/29/2014 1:26:15 PM EDT

I did a repair reinstall on my Windows 7 Dell Laptop. After it booted up it ask for an Administrator Password.

None of my log in information works. I'm locked out for lack of a password.

Anybody have any idea how I can unlock this damn thing and get back to work?

There are a number of programs that will boot into a utility that will allow you to change/remove the password. Others can tell you which, and where.

This is the utility I've always used in that situation:
