Hello Carl

 

You will have to reinstall Windows 7 if you did not create a password hint or record the password for future reference.

Hi mdklaseen! Yep, Ubuntu is as big as about 1.5Gb, because it comes with tons of system repair tools.

Any other suggestions to hack the system would be a violation.

If you take the laptop to a notebook or PC store that has access to the Microsoft MSDaRT ERD Commander LockSmith utility, then resetting the password will take just moments.

 

Call in advance to see if they have it. If someone in the shop doesn't have it, then the shop is not worth ever taking a notebook or PC to. They will waste your valuable time without having this handy backdoor utility created by Microsoft for its own Windows operating systems. That is my own opinion.

 

MSDaRT (Microsoft  Diagnostic and Recovery Tool) is a utility that is available to anyone with an MSDN subscription.

 

The versions that work with Windows 7 are MSDaRT 6.0,6.5 and 7.  I have the following versions stored to use to help my friends and family.

Hello

 

I am in agreement with wb2001.

 

What if this device has been obtained illegally?

 

Why provide assistance to a potential criminal act?
