I had forgotten my password to my old Toshiba …tried for 2 weeks trying everything I could think of as my PW. At 70 years I thought I would never get the PW right. Then I found your video. Long story short you talked me through it. Thanks to you I actually did it. My friend don’t ever think no one appreciates your video. I see lots of other happy people like me. Now you helped to fix my problem what can you do to get world peace and fix climate change. I am truly thankful for your video and the help you gave me.
I forgot my password and I couldn't remember it after 30+ attempts. This video tutorial saved my brother's 2016 wedding pics and my behind in 2022! Thank you!!!
hi :) i know it's been 8 months but i want to check if this still works, is your laptop okay? i really want to follow this tutorial but i'm not sure if it's really safe so i wanted to check on someone who did, thanks if you're gonna answer
7 stops updating January 14 2019. If you have any old hardware from back in the day, now is the time to hack into them before Microsoft drops the ball.
IMPORTANT DETAIL: Your computer must be connected to the internet via a network cable before launching the Startup Repair process. If your computer is not connected to the internet, the "Send information" window, visible at 1:14, will not pop-up at the end of the repair process, and you will not be able to click "View problem details" button and this method will not work. PS: I have not tested whether internet connection via WiFi will work. I can only confirm that it works via cable.
Man, this is too funny. Happened to me too, at least once. And then I disabled my write caching feature off my brain. Now if I forgot, I totally forgot, working as intended flawlessly.
I just set a temporary password this evening since my nephew(kids) were always tryin to open the computer and play ganes ...and as forgetful as i am...i couldn't even remember wat the hell was my password...i didn't wana lose all my files...i searchd up and luckily found ur video...it literally saved my life...i had all my college files and reports on it🤧 just wanna say tysm👍🏻 real life superhero u are😁
Dooood, big big thanks, I was STUCK, all my normal password progs and utilities were not working on this win7 machine with a mirrored C: drive but you found this extremely dangerous security hole in a 10 year old OS and it saved my butt! Thanks !!!!!!!
@@ElectronicsComputers Please reply faaast!!! I get error recover screen with options of 1. Safe Mode 2. Safe Mode with command prompt 3. Safe Mode with Networking 4. Start windows normally
Thanks!.... I want to mention something here... I couldn't access the files the way you did in the video because my screen "where the magic happens" was different. They must have removed that option as a security measure so what I did was a workaround. I used a "Mini XP" boot CD which allowed me to access the system 32 files and then change the file names around. Once this was accomplished everything else worked as you outlined it in the steps to change the password. Once again, thank you.
You are an absolute amazing, I bow down to your genius. I've been trying to get into my laptop for years and you've just saved me so much money. Total respect dude.

Worked on my 7 year old computer running windows 7. Got my files back. Thank you! Actually, the first portion didn't work for me. I downloaded an iso of Kali linux and a program named "etcher". Used Etcher to make a bootable flash drive for Kali linux with ease. The old PC boot right up with that flash drive and it gave me full access to the files in the win32 directly. (First time I used Linux actually. Pretty Cool!) I renamed the 2 files with ease and the rest was as you described. The command line interface worked like a charm.
I haven’t been able to get into my Dell laptop since 2012, after trying every combination of password l had given up. Then l found your YT video - l can’t thank you enough, lm now able to see all my old photos 😭 🙏🏻
Very helpful walkthrough. I was able to get access to my 10 year old Gateway PC and recover some lost files and find some logins that were saved on there. Made my day.

Worked for me! It’s been about 6 years since we have logged onto my wife’s computer. This saved us from losing tons of photos from the past! Thank you so much.
This didn't work for me. I followed to the letter and i get an explorer.exe and another error on login, followed by a black screen with just the mouse. I feel something went wrong with sys32.

In that case you have to rename those files by any means available to you. For example, you can put that HDD into another PC and then rename those files. Or you can boot your PC from a USB flash drive which contains a portable Windows like Hiren's boot CD or use a bootable USB drive with Windows 7/10/11. And then just follow the instructions on the video. Try my new updated video for Windows 10 and Windows 11 which will explain how to do that: ruclips.net/video/-0crAEE-6hA/видео.html
This has been extremely helpful, and I was able to get into my 8 year old laptop. Thanks so much! However, when I try to rename Utilman and cmd in their respective original names I get msg "you require permission from TrustedInstaller to make changes to this file"; even though I'm already logged in as Admin. Do you happen to know how to bypass/fix that ?

Hi, im really bad at technology so forgeting my password it was a trauma for me since i was unable to get any help from anywhere. SO this video was recommanded to me by a friend( Thank you Aryan) . I saw it many times untill i learned the steps, i even write then down to make sure im not skipping anything. And it worked. It took me more than one hour cause i wasnt sure what i was doing and made some mistakes( that bad i am) but at the end with a bit of helpfrom another friend(thank you Vish) on typing the last 2 commands i succeded. You cant imagine how happy i am. Its life saving! Millon thanks and you really did a great job explaining it so simply and clearly even for people with no knowledge in this field! May God bless you! Really helpful, i learn a lot of things also! I only hope my kid will not see this video😅.
Windows 7 professional isn’t working as expected. I can’t get the command prompt although I am renaming the files as mentioned. After renaming the files I don’t get any cmd prompt in fact nothing happens when I click on the UTILMAN button, it just remains on the login screen . It seems that I forgot in inserting the USB, I did insert the USB and now it reset the password. Thanks That was great 👍 👍
Not sure why, but net user (username) * command doesn't work on my laptop (Win 7). Just returns to c:Windows\System 32> prompt without offering to type password. Another command helped - control userpasswords2
Instead of all those commands type: control userpasswords2 and press the enter key. In appeared window select your account and click reset password button.

I don't get the window that says View problem details shown in 1:25, what can I do?
Just give it a few tries. Basically, you have to rename those files by any means available to you. For example, you can put that HDD into another PC and then rename those files. Or you can boot your PC from a USB flash drive which contains a portable Windows like Hiren's boot CD or use a bootable USB drive with Windows 7/10/11. And then just follow the instructions on the video. Try my new updated video for Windows 10 and Windows 11 which will explain how to do that: ruclips.net/video/-0crAEE-6hA/видео.html

Windows 7 professional isn’t working as expected. I can’t get the command prompt although I am renaming the files as mentioned.
After renaming the files I don’t get any cmd prompt in fact nothing happens when I click on the UTILMAN button, it just remains on the login screen .
It seems that I forgot in inserting the USB, I did insert the USB and now it reset the password.
Thanks
That was great 👍 👍

Not sure why, but net user (username) * command doesn't work on my laptop (Win 7). Just returns to c:Windows\System 32> prompt without offering to type password. Another command helped - control userpasswords2
Instead of all those commands type:
control userpasswords2
and press the enter key. In appeared window select your account and click reset password button.
Pls i need help
After typing net user with my account name
It shows The syntax of this command is : and some other things either of the type password

Awesome video! Defiantly recommend. Don’t get stressed out and if you are not sure about a step redo it. It worked for me.
Glad it helped!
Every time I hit cancel on “do you want to restore”, it gets stuck on “attempting repairs”
For me too
I’m really hoping you see this and can help me out. Everything works but when I get to the part where I have to enter the user name in, I am not getting the same response you are. Instead of it prompting me to enter a new password, it says this:
The syntax of this command is:
Net User
[username [password : *] [options]] [/domain]
username / add [options] [/domain]
username [/delete] [/domain]
username [/times:]
Please help me with what to do next.
Instead of all those commands type:
control userpasswords2
and press the enter key. In appeared window select your account and click reset password button.
Can't thank you enough. This guide was so easy to follow and it worked!
You're welcome!

A++++!
I'm pretty much computer-illiterate and I completed this easily on the first try.
Thanks for the great walkthrough!
I'm happy to help!
@@ElectronicsComputers none of that is on my laptop
@@RS-ij4yl throw your laptop away
I’m still having trouble because I get the recovery manager to keep popping up. Is there anyway to avoid this? Thanks!
i have same problem
This was a lifesaver, thank you so much!
I'm so glad I could help you!
When i try to type in password for a user nothing works. After i press enter twice it says the passwords do not match. After i donit again it says it does not meet the password policy requirements. PLZ HELP i don’t want my grandma to spend more money on a 3rd computer she lost the password to.
When you type a password it's not gonna show up there. It looks like nothing happens. Just pres the enter twice. Or instead of all those commands type:
control userpasswords2
and press the enter key. In appeared window select your account and click reset password button.
Thank you, Thank you, Thank You!! I never thought I would ever be able to get into my computer again. But I did today with your help!! Yes, this is a little techy, but with the way you present it, and give step by step instructions, you make it a piece of cake!! Thank you your time, effort this took!
I'm so glad I could help! And thank you for the comment!
thank you my man, ur the best, but how do i change back name of command board to cmd, it says that i need permisson but i am on the administrator account?
I'm happy to help! You can rename those files back the same way you did it first. You can't rename system files under normally loaded operating system.
@@ElectronicsComputers i dont understand how rename them back.. i screwed up at the end and didnt make a new password..its windows 7 on my laptop
@@isabellamcpherson3055 same way u changed it in the 1st time............do exactly the same steps
Worked perfectly, I followed step-by-step. Saved the day
happy to help!
Cant tell if this laptop just dog slow or if its stuck on attempting repairs. can it get stuck at this point?
Sometimes it may take a few hours, especially if your PC has a hard drive.
