    After watching two other videos with pretty much the identical procedure, I watched yours: your video was so much better than the others. Rather than some annoying music you actually narrated the procedure in a very clear and helpful manner. Thanks. Seems like this is a pretty major security flaw for windows 7...

    thanks! 2 things to add:
    - if sticky keys doesn't work, click on the red button on the bottom right and check box for sticky keys
    - if your user name is 2 words, surround it in double quotes: net user "name1 name2" *

    Worked flawlessly. You couldn't have provided a more simple and novice-friendly tutorial. I appreciate the help and I look forward to following your channel!
    (FYI for those of you reading, once you have renamed the system32 files, you can reset the passwords of additional users by simply clicking shift 5 times again and repeating the cmd prompt steps)

    I love you really, found my broken laptop after 7 years and apparently its working again, I was relieved to fin out.
    Only, I had forgot the password.
    I am not very good with IT, but I have tried resetting the password with a USB with different programs, it took me hours to find out I had to actually buy the software so I got frustrated and almost gave up,
    until I came across your video!
    Thank you so much for sharing your skills!

    Precise and direct video for the lost pass for Win7. Only note I would add, on my 2 laptops anyhow, is that after closing the notepad window and hitting "don't send" button, instead of having the option to click "finish" button, it just powered down/shutdown my laptops. I just restarted them, hit the "shift key" 5x to open command prompt and continued your instructions from there. Both laptops now have new passwords. Great job on your video.

      It's also a good idea to make copies of setup and cmd and paste them in a different directory other than system32. The process in the video worked only once. When I tried to change the pword for a different account, every time I typed in "net user user name *" I would get a syntax error message listing the options for the command. I finally had to do the repair option system restore to get things back to normal

    so once you change the files that you have renamed do you need to change it back or can you leave it as it is?
    meaning if you forget your password again all you will need to do is press Shift 5 times and pop up cmd
    or would you need to do the whole process everytime if you forget or lose your password again

    • @Altoelder
      @Altoelder  8 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Interesting! I'd never had to break in to the same computer twice. You don't have to change the file names back. I believe that if you leave the files, all you would need to do is press shift 5 times and change the password. I don't believe you would need to do the whole process again.

    • @topone4655
      @topone4655 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      aha ok thanks that's is what I figured you would not have to redo the whole process but just making sure
      say what if you had another account on the computer that does not have a password you could then access cmd that way and it would work I would think.
      and another thing is I have heard of a way you can set your phone or email to recover the password
      ok 1 more question about about just viewing the password instead of changing it? I believe this is achievable no?

      @@ambargonzalez83 same thing happened to me, but I named the files exactly as you showed. I changed setch to setch0. Then I copied cmd, pasted it at bottom of files in system 32, named it sethc. Then I restarted and was so happy until when my machine restarted pressing shift 5 times did nothing.

    For everyone looking for SethC... When you are in your system32 folder make sure your file of type says ALL FILES at the bottom...then you will see SethC is in the applications...not the folders. Then you should also be able to find CMD as well.
