Alternatively, you may search for Password Reset Disk in Start Search and hit Enter to open it.

Else you may open the Run box, type the following and hit Enter to open it directly:

Once you click Finish type your new password and login.

The same procedure applies to Windows 10/8 too.

Note: This will not work if your Computer is connected to a domain; if it’s a domain PC, I would recommend contacting your Network administrator.
