Bypassing Windows 7 Login Screen

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.

 

Tried my Win 7 Home disk, it refuses since the laptops on Pro.  Which is utter horseshit since I bet CMD prompt and repair is not a different version.

 

Guess it's time to trial these tools.  Not my preference.  Since the only option otherwise is to put the drive into my own personal gaming rig.

It should work. You can use a prodisk to repair any version of windows vista or newer.

I have a Home disk, I said I had a Home disk I feel nobody is noticing I have a HOME DISK.  And I tried a repair from the HOME disk and it refused since it detects the installed version as PRO.

Don't do a repair, open the command prompt.

How?

 

I've the option to repair or install, clicking install takes me to the disk partition where I can select a drive to wipe?

I think its under advanced recovery options. It before the install or upgrade option.

I'm in CMD Prompt and it's strange.

 

I type in Net User (yes on C: ) and it comes up with Administrators Guests one or more errors.

 

Was able to implement the Administrator account which was disabled! by the command:

 

But still when at login it won't show the default Administrator account.  Typing Net User on the directory drive shows up the error message above.

Going to try safe mode.

 

net user administrator /active:yes

I'm in.

 

Ended up using Hirens BootCD which I had lying around from when Windows 8 came out.  Not idea why CMD prompt would not work but whatever.

 

This better earn me a cold beer.
