How to use System Restore to get into your account if you can not log on to Windows.
If you are not able to log on to Windows 7 for any of these reasons:
1) You set a new password for the Administrator account and no longer remember it.
2) You enter the correct password but because of system corruption it is not accepted.
3) You delete a protected Administrator account and are no longer able to log on to another account.
4) You change a protected Administrator account to a standard user account and are unable to log on to another Administrator account.
For this to work there must be a valid System Restore Point to use from the last successful log on.
Information
This will work for either Windows 7 or Windows Vista.

The PC BIOS must be set to boot first from the optical drive.



1) To get started, insert the Windows install disk into the optical drive and restart the machine; when you see "Press any key to boot from CD or DVD" press the space bar.
2) After the initial "Windows is loading files" select your language, time and keyboard preferences and click next; then select "Repair your Computer" it'll do some searching then you'll be offered the options in the third screenshot down, select "System Restore" then click next.
3) Remember you must select the restore point before you started experiencing the issues; once you have selected the correct restore point you'll be presented with one last chance before the restore begins, whey you are sure everything is correct click yes.
4) When the System Restore completes you'll get a "Confirm your Restore Point" window, click "Finish" then you will need to restart the machine to complete the process.
5) When the PC restarts remember you MUST use the password that was active for the Restore Point that you went back to.

6) You may need to add back any programs and/or any Windows Updates that may have been removed during the restore process, you may also need to reset any personal settings that may have been changed but none of your personal documents or files will have been removed.

I sure hope this will work for you!

Enjoy :)
