Anyone have any ideas to change Win 7 login password?
When I get to the blue login screen on my laptop my icon and where I enter my password isn't there?
So I was on Hulu, fullscreen, and for some reason it paused and my screen turned black.
Anyways it wouldn't go away so I turned off my computer using the power button.
When I turned it back on first of all the starting windows thing took forever.
Then once it was finally done it got to the blue login screen.
Usually ya know the icon pops up and you type in the password, but that isn't there.
I can move my mouse around, but there's nothing there.
I tried to do the repair my computer thing on the start up instead of starting windows normally,
but it still does the same thing.
It's really freaking me out and I have no idea how to fix it.

At this situation, I have tried solutions for logon password. There are:

Solution 1. Change Windows 7 login password with Windows Password Recovery, the tool will make a new admin account and password for you:
a. Log on a computer that you can download something. Download Windows Password Recovery Tool Ultimate, install it with several clicks and then run it.
b. Burn a Windows 7 password reset disk with a blank CD/DVD or USB Flash Drive. A USB Flash Drive will be recommended if the locked Win 7 computer supports the driver.
c. Connect the burned Win 7 password reset disk with the locked Win 7 computer, Press DELETE (or the key that screen may display a sentence while computer starts), then set BIOS to boot pc from USB Flash Drive, restart computer and there will load software program.
d. Choose "Create a new account", enter the new User Name and Password, and then click "Next" to proceed. After finished, disconnect the disk with pc and reboot computer to login with newly create account!

Solution 2. Try his cat name if he's got a cat pet, etc.

Solution 3. Use a key hacking USB software system. Just need connect this to daughter’s computer, and connect it somewhere he can't see. And when he types the password, this device will memorize it. Now I will know his password. - I quit this method. It may hurt my daughter once he finds out.

Thanks for all the recommendations for me to change Windows 7 login password. They are useful and helpful, especially the first one!
