Hey guys,
So my friend has a laptop that I might buy but its password protected login and he doesn't know the password. Its not stolen. Any suggestions on how to get the password off? I was thinking re-installing the OS . Or getting into the BIOS. Thanks for any help

When you go to sleep turn the light off. It's as simple as that.

Yeah, I did what sweetpea said for Windows XP but I'm not sure that works on Windows 7

Get a live version of Linux on a USB stick. Boot into that and use it to save anything you want off the HDD. Remember to use persistent mode. Then reinstall Windows.

Use konboot with EFI booting. You should find a recent torrent online with hardly any hassle.

MSDart for Win7 has a password unlocker utility. Get the 64 0r 32 bit to match your version. No reloading windows needed!

Assuming the drive isn't encrypted, this will work. I've used it to create a new admin as well as reset the password to existing accounts.
Bypass Windows Logons with the Utilman.exe Trick https://www.technibble.com/bypass-windows-logons-utilman/
1) Boot a live linux environment and mount the Windows drive. 2) Make a backup of the original utilman $ mv utilman.exe utilman.exe.bak 3) Make a copy of the command prompt and name it utilman.exe $ cp cmd.exe utilman.exe 4) Reboot to the windows login screen and hit [WIN]+E. 5) Boom. System prompt. 6) Reverse the process when you're done.

Use systemrescuecd, or a similar linux live environment, to mount the windows disk and change the password with chntpw.
This should get you started..

-------------------- In an entheogen influenced moment of clarity I came to understand that reality manifests as a dream from the collective subconscious minds of all conscious entities. Nothingness made something because we collectively believe it into being, and physical laws given power by the reinforcement of conscious observation. Creation, destruction, and even time itself are but an aspect of ourselves and we of them. Life and death, simply illusions we face from a limited grasp of our own existence. We are one, all is eternal.

Do you have another Windows 7 machine that has your correct password?
If so you could always just live boot with linux and grab the hash from a samba mount to [windowsvolume]/system32/config/sam and replace it on the other drive
just the hash part of course

Anytime I buy a used computer you should be fresh installing an OS anyway. Imo

I use the ultimate boot cd. (of course they have a usb stick version now too)
It has just about every tool you could need to repair/recover/reformat/virus scan/etc a system, from a bootable CD or usb stick. It can wipe windows account passwords or just get you to a point you can wipe the system to reinstall from, etc.
