When you forgot Windows 7 password without a password reset disk, have you ever wished you could turn back the clock? With system restore, the built-in feature of Windows 7, you are able to achieve it, to some extent.
What is system store?
According to Microsoft, a restore point is a representation of a stored state of your computer’s system files. You can use a restore point to restore your computer’s system files to an earlier point in time. It can be highly beneficial to the users by quickly and efficiently reversing changes made to the Windows Registry, partition, or operating system, eliminating the need to manually undo changes and retrieve deleted files.
When do you need system restore?
A system restore is most beneficial in situations that involve the removal of a virus or other malicious software, the installation or uninstallation of software, or other major changes to the Windows Operating System.
How to create a restore point?
1. Right click “My Computer” icon on desktop, go to Properties.
2. Now click “System Protection” on the left.
3. A System Properties windows opens up, click on “Create”.
4. Type a name in the box to describe the event of restore point and click Create. The current date and time are automatically added.
5. Click Close to save the settings.
Although you can get back in computer when you lost Windows 7 password and cannot access laptop, it is not recommended that you should use this feature when it comes to Widows 7 password recovery. You may still lose some of your latest computer data after system restore. As far as I’m concerned, the best way is to use Windows Password Unlocker, which allows you to burn a password reset CD/DVD or USB flash drive to reset lost Windows 7 password to blank. The biggest advantage of this program is that you can instantly reset forgotten Windows password in minutes, without any damage or modification to your computer data and settings.
