We always want our system to be secure and safe you in progression to do this we apply several technique, one of them is to protect the system with the administrator password. But these security measures become a menace for our own self . If we loose the password or forget it.

What should be done in such a case. We will today discuss several techniques from which we can recover our Windows 7 password. There could e be around several methods to do this few of them being unethical too. But I won't be discussing the unethical techniques on a public platform.

I will discuss a few of them which are really important and worth spending time on.

The first technique is through an available administrator account

• If you have an administrator account available then the password recovery can be done quickly.
• You need to login to the administrator account on your Windows 7 system.
• Go to the control panel here you can delete or change the account password to do this
• Click Start>Control Panel>ADD/remove Accounts
• Choose the account you need to change the password for
• Click on change password or remove password.
• Your password is now changed or removed as per your preference

Another way is through the Windows 7 password reset disk

Windows 7 provides as with the option to create a password reset disk(USB Key) which will allow you reset the password at the time of password being lost. And this is but obvious that this disk can only be created when you are logged in. When you loose the password you need to use the disk to recover the password. The process is really simple if the USB key to reset password is there.

• When you will enter the wrong password at that point of time you will be promoted help message that you have entered a wrong password just click on the message and you will be back on to the login screen.
• Click reset password and then Insert the USB password key
• Click the next button, select the disk
• Type the new password and click next
• Your lost password is reset.

Another way can be to use a third party windows password recovery software.

There may be several software available in the market I used the software that was with the boo table CD. What you need to do in such software is you need to:

• Insert the CD and then boot the system with the CD
• Once the screen is up then you need to click admin/user password button.
• You will see the list of the software those have the user name and the password you need to select the account you want to change the password for and click on reset.
• Your password will be reset successfully

How to create passwords difficult to crack? How to recover if lost?

Login and password have become part of our life. For almost every second thing we need a password. Many a times we are annoyed of remembering that many passwords but as it the part of the like so we have to remember those. Just creating a password is not enough, as we know that our important information is there behind those passwords. So lets throw some light on to good password writing techniques.

We mainly create passwords that we think we can remember easily for longer period of time. The major mistake that we make while creating the password is we use the same password for each and every account. It is quite dangerous. So what should we do?

The first step in making the password should be that choose the name of a movie that you like the most or a name of the book take the initial letters of each word. For example “as good as it gets” agaig. Then replace the small characters with the uppercase, numbers or the special symbols make a symbols for your self. Like “a” stands for “@” or “a” stands for “1” etc. and jumble things up for ex “@g@Ig. This will firstly save you from the directory attack in which the password hackers try the alphabetic orders till they get the right combination. The second technique will save you from hackers in the way that if in case he is trying combination of 26 characters then he will have to try from 52 lowercase and uppercase combination in addition to 10 digits and punctuation marks.

You can use the similar password for several accounts just make sure that the letters are jumbled and a digit is added to the password every time and a letter is changed in every combination, the last thing to remember is that the password should be of 7 characters at least.

This was all about creating the password and if in case after doing so much of hard word you forgot the combination or the password for the account created then what will happen. This happens a lot of time and that that point of time either we send a password change request to the administrator to change the password or we hang up the account. But if you forget the administrator password of windows then what can be done no one to send mail for password reset. I that case the password can be reset using the third party windows data password recovery software.

These software will not only help you recover the administrator password but will also recover the product key for you if you have ever logged in using the ID. I used the software to positive effects
