Hi
Click on Start and then Control Panel.
Click on the User Accounts and Family Safety link.
Note: If you're viewing the Large icons or Small icons view of Control Panel, you won't see this link. Simply click on the User Accounts icon and proceed to Step 4.
Click on the User Accounts link.
In the Make changes to your user account area of the User Accounts window, click the Remove your password link.
In the text box on the next screen, enter your current Windows 7 password.
Click the Remove Password button to confirm that you'd like to remove your Windows 7 password.
You can now close the User Accounts window.
Now that your Windows 7 account password has been deleted, you will no longer need to log on when your computer starts.
Your computer should now boot all the way to the Windows 7 desktop.
Let us know how it goes!

Reset windows 7 password, three methods:
1. Another valid administrator account which can normally log on.
2. A password reset disk or a repair disc, which is created in advance ( before you lost password ).
3. Third-party software to create a bootable password reset CD/DVD or USB, like Windows Password Reset

Dear Sir/Madom,
I am using windows 7 system. i would like to remove administator password from pc. when i went to control panel-user account-remove password. but it has not been removed and bellow message is shown. what is the reason?
Window cannot remove password. Password and or account policies require the account to have a password.
