getting account password

Thread needs solution

I need to restore a complete backup save several months ago. I do not remember the passwords for the accounts. The backup is not encrypted and there is no password there. I need the Windows 7 account password. How can I obtain that?

Michael,

Are you saying the image file is password protected or that you can't remember the password to login to the Windows 7 that will be restored?

If it is the actual image then there is no way of accessing the image. If, on the other hand, it is the Windows 7 logon that you don't know then there is 3rd party software that can reset the Windows password store.
