Complete Laptop without admin password reset?

I got a laptop from my aunt. This is from her husband who died unfortunately and since she does not need him, because she does not really know that anyway, she has given him to me. Only now I have a problem because I can only access the laptop through the guest, since I do not know the admin password and my aunt does not.

So how can I fully reset the laptop without knowing the admin password?

Simply reinstall Windows, with Windows 10 you do not need to know the activation key. Windows 10 detects the hardware again and then activates automatically as soon as it hangs on the Internet.

Put it in and reinstall everything 😁👍🏻

The laptop is Windows 7. Does that make a difference?

Then you should see that you have the activation key at hand. Laptops often have a sticker on the bottom.

In WIN10 I have not tried it, in XP you could still start with the admin prompt and then change the password.

In WIN 10 there's no longer this assignment but maybe you can still, if you insert the CD and there opens the console.

Yes I have that.

Simply download, create a bootable USB stick and reinstall.
