   Locate your password reset disc.^[3]
   You’ll need to have already created a password reset CD or USB flash drive at an earlier date. If you haven’t done that, try a different method. Note that you won’t be able to borrow a password reset disc from a friend, as these discs are keyed to your account.

2.

   Put the system repair CD or DVD into the optical drive. If you didn’t make a system repair disc on a prior date, ask someone else who uses Windows 7 to make one for you.

   2

   Boot from the disc. Restart the computer and wait for a message that says “Press any key to boot from CD or DVD.” Press any key on the keyboard.

   • If you don’t see this and you wind up back at the login screen, your computer may not be set up to boot from CD/DVD. Check the boot settings in the system BIOS.
   • If it’s still not booting from the disc, try burning a new disc on another system.
