Problem
I got a brand new Windows 7 machine, installed the operating system, created one account and forgot its password. What can I do? There is no external CD, the operating system is loaded from somewhere inside the machine. I already tried to remember passwords and tried all candidates with all possible combinations of caps lock, num lock etc.
