Thank you for your tips! I indeed have reset my Windows 7 Pro's Administrator Password using a commercial SW called Windows Login Recovery 4, which is proving very easy to use and did the job for me. Besides I do NOT have any encrypted folders beforehand and therefore it didn't bother me to lose my encrypted folders IF I reset my Admin Password at all. All in all my problem, I believe, has been solved through your and experts' advice here which I have fully appreciated and thank you for! Cheers

As you've discovered, for anything but the very simplest level of "security", the Windows logon password system is absolutely useless.

Yeah! I would agree that as one can reset the Windows PASSWORD and gain access to all the Administrator's files. using appropriate Password Recovery SWs. But it may be a good point for genuine users such as myself though.

Thanks

I've used Ophcrack on XP a few times to find the password rather than reset it.

My attention was drawn to the number of anons and newbies posting in this thread, and on closer examination it seems to be a magnet for advertising spammers... In view of that, together with its age, I've closed it.
