In spite of the release of Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012, the popularity of Windows 7 is without parallel among all operation systems nowadays. It is widely recognized that Windows 7 has relatively satisfying security performance, especially when compared with Windows Vista. However, the password problems in Windows 7 are still big concerns to many Windows 7 users. For example, some users may forget their login passwords on a regular basis so that they have to face the problem – how to recover Window 7 password. In the following paragraph, several problems related to Windows 7 will be discussed in detail.
1. I lost my Windows 7 password...
In this situation, you can firstly try to recall your current password by the password hints created when you create your Window 7 password. If it fails, make use of your password reset disk made in advance. However, as far as I am concerned, many users don’t have the habit to create a password reset disk. Then a third-party password reset tools can come into handy. When you choose the tool, make sure your data in the locked Windows 7 PC won’t get lost. After all, if you don’t care about the data, you can just reinstall the system with your Windows 7 installation disk.
2. My Windows 7 PC doesn’t recognize password after waking up from sleep mode...
Have you ever meet such the following case? I create the administrator account and password to protect my new Windows 7 notebook. It works pretty well for a couple of days with no problems. One day, it works out of battery, putting the PC into sleep mode for a while. When I try and log back on after waking the PC up, it doesn't recognize the password. I tried many ways: turn off the Caps Lock, remove the battery and reboot. But the current password is still not recognized and I am not permitted to make any changes.
I want to say, it is actually a language input or keyboard layout issue. If there are multiple keyboard layouts installed, it seems Win 7 can use one layout for the main login page and a different one for login screen after sleep/screen-lock. You might be dealing with a foreign keyboard issue. Try to make the password something that is independent of the keyboard layout.
3. I enter the right user name and password, but fail to log in...
Some of Windows 7 users may also encounter with a situation that you enter the right user name and password but only to be informed it was incorrect. I want to say, in this case, it is also possible that your Caps Lock is on. Passwords in Windows are case-sensitive and every time you input your password, you have to capitalize each letter in exactly the same way that you did when you first created it. Besides, if your computer is on a network, a network administrator has the ability to reset your password. It may have been changed by the administrator and you don’t know.
Tip: The above solutions are also workable to Windows Server 2008 PCs. You can also use a Windows Server 2008 password recovery tool to reset lost password. Your Windows Server 2008 password doesn’t work may result from your Caps Lock, your account and so on.
