Short, practical note referencing the thread: reported recovering Administrator access after a local boot/command-shell method, and correctly suggested the simplest, lowest-risk step — ask the person who changed the password. If the machine is not your property, do not proceed; accessing someone else’s computer without permission can be unlawful and is not appropriate for this forum.

If the PC is yours, use the built‑in, supported recovery paths rather than third‑party “hack” tools. Windows provides official options such as using a previously created password reset disk or having another administrator account reset the local account password; those are the recommended first steps. See Microsoft’s guidance on changing or resetting Windows passwords for details. (support.microsoft.com)

If those options aren’t available, protect data first. Back up personal files (remove the drive or boot a rescue environment) before attempting system repairs. Windows 7 lets you create and use a System Repair Disc to access recovery tools; if recovery isn’t possible, a clean reinstall after a backup is the safe route. Microsoft documents backup/restore and system repair procedures. (support.microsoft.com)

A few cautions and housekeeping items: Windows 7 reached end of support on January 14, 2020, so running it exposes the system to security risks — consider upgrading. Microsoft support won’t retrieve or circumvent forgotten passwords for security reasons, so plan ahead: make a password reset disk, keep a second administrator account, maintain regular backups, and use strong passwords or drive encryption on owned devices.
