Bypassing Windows 7 Login Screen

Yes. 

 

Unplug the computer when it says starting windows. 

 

You will be a option to do startup repair. Do that

 

It will fail and give you a log file, open that, go under the save menu and go under windows system32. Then rename osk.exe to osk.exe.old and rename cmd.exe to osk.exe. Now whenever you open a onscreen keyboard you get a admin command prompt to restet the password. 

 

This usb does the same thing https://pogostick.net/~pnh/ntpasswd/

Ok, I am about to tear my hair out on this one.

 

Ever guide says boot into safe mode with CMD Prompt, yet to use the CMD Prompt I have to log in an account, THANKS so fucking useful when I don't know the fucking password for the laptop I've been handed to remove data from.

 

Now before I go and download a tool is there a way to load CMD prompt from the login screen? because the guides I'm seeing assume I can just log in an account.

I cannot login the computer, it seems everyone assumes I can, the laptop was buggered about by a clients lad and he changed all the codes, nobody knows the access codes!

 

I am tasked with removing the data, currently trying a repair boot from a Win 7 dvd, to try and access CMD Prompt, So I can change the access codes for one of the accounts and gain admin rights.

 

Which has just failed since it demands a bloody admin code to access command prompt when booted from my Win 7 dvd.

That will work. If you just want the data you can put the drive in a serprate system and just drag and drop.

Can't you install the hard drive in an external enclosure, retrieve all important data and then do a clean install? It's the easiest way.

System recovery via safe mode.   I cannot get the damn thing to boot and let me into the bios to change to boot from DVD.

Did you read my post?

 

There is a way to enter the file system through system recovery and notepad and change file names.

If I F8 then go into system recovery it demands an admin code from one of the accounts on the computer.  Removing the drive would be an option but I do not have a caddy handy with me ( guess what i lent out this afternoon?)

Force the system off when it says starting windows. You will get a startup recovery option. Don't use the f8 one.

The Power button powers it up, but the keyboard lock button powers it down when booting.

 

I swear this computer is designed to troll me.

 

Finally making some headway now got startup repair working and will do the good old CMD trick you mentioned.

It's finished my only options are

 

View Diagnostic and repair details.

 

And View Advanced (clicked this took me to an admin login page which I don't have the code for )

Loads a prompt window type applet which is definitely not notepad.  My ONLY option is to close the window.

I though there should be a drop down with a log file somewhere. I forget where.

 

If not, just put the drive in a different system or boot from a usb drive, the network or a cd drive.
