Solution 1: Reset Dell password with a previous created Windows 7 password reset disk
As far as I’m concerned, a Dell password
reset disk is the best way to prevent you from forgetting your password. Thus
when you install a new system in your computer you’d better to remember to
create a password reset disk. If you have no password reset disk at hand, don’t
worry, you can turn to the solutions below.

the wrong password at the login box, and then Windows will display a message
that the password is incorrect. Click “OK” to close the message. After that you
will see “Reset password” under the login box, click it and then insert the
password reset disk you have created.
2. Follow the instructions in the “Password
Reset Wizard” to create a new password.
3. After you finish the steps above you are
supposed to log on with the new password.
Note: This
method requires that you have created a password reset disk before you have lost
the login password.

can log in to your Dell computer with another administrator account then you
can continue in this solution.
1. Log on with another administrator
account or account which has administration authority to remove Dell password on the other accounts.
2. Click the “Start” button, type “lusrmgr.msc”
in the Search box and then press “ENTER”. Then you will get into “Local Users
and Groups”.
3. Double-click “Local Users and Groups”,
and then click “Users”.
4. Right-click the target account which you
want to remove the password for, and then click “Set Password”. Type and
confirm the new password.
5. Assuming that you have completed the
operations above then you will login with the newly created account.
Solution 3: Reset Windows 7 password on Dell from Safe Mode
As is known to us, Windows 7 system has a
built-in administrator account that is created during Windows installation and
disabled by default, which has no password in it. You need to enable
the built-in Administrator account first. If not, you will not
succeed.
Step
1: Start your computer and press“F8″. Choose “Safe Mode with Command Prompt” with the arrow key and press “Enter.”Then your computer will get into Safe Mode with Command Prompt.
Step
2: Select the Administrator account appearing on
the screen, then enter command prompt. Type: net user “****** 123456” and enter
(****** is the account name and 123456 is the new password), then a message–“the
command completed successfully” will appear on the screen.
Step
3: Restart your win 7 computer, then you can log in
as ****** with the password 123456. You can go to Control Panel to change your
account password if necessary.
