Changing your password in Windows 7 is very easy. Follow the easy steps below to change your Windows 7 password:



1.Click on Start and then Control Panel.



2.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.



3.Click on the User Accounts link.



4.In the Make changes to your user account area of the User Accounts window, click the Change your password link.



5.In the first text box, enter your current password.



6.In the next two text boxes, enter the password you would like to start using.



Entering the password twice helps to make sure that you typed your new password correctly.



7.In the final text box, you're asked to Type a password hint.



This step is optional but I highly recommend that you use it. If you try logging in to Windows 7 but enter the wrong password, this hint will display, hopefully jogging your memory.



8.Click on the Change password button to confirm your changes.



9.You can now close the User Accounts window.

when you are booting the computer, BEFORE the "Starting Windows" screen pops up (about 5 seconds before, while there is still white text), tap the f8 button about 3 times a second until it takes you to a screen that gives you a bunch of boot options. use the arrows to select "Safe Mode" and let it boot. when it gets to the boot screen, select Administrator. if that doesn't work, put in your Windows 7 disk and when it boots, select "Repair My Computer". hit the button that says "Command Prompt" or has to do with it and type: "net user replace_with_the_username replace_with_desired_password" without the quotes. alternatively, when you are in windows, hit start and type "cmd" in the search bar, right click on the item that pops up, hit run as administrator, hit yes on the popup box, and type that command. it should change the password. the last method i posted is the easiest, all others are in case the last solution fails.

I believe in the event you move to the manage panel, decide upon bills and customers (or whatever like that) it's going to say, "difference snapshot", "difference title", and "difference password/set password(probably)." You wish to difference your password so decide upon that. That will have to get you to the position you wish to be! Hope this helped!
