I installed Windows 7 last week and suddenly today when i logged on to windows 7 and went to user account to change password it said Password is incorrect Please retype.I was surprised since minutes Ago i logged on with the same password.Now, after i googled..some said to reboot and i did after that i was not able to logon even.So, thankfully i had another Limited account But i am not able to reset Password of the administrator account.AND i also found out that i was not able to set password to limited account.Apart from this, windows 7 is showing me a lot of error messages and even as i try to create a new user account it says Invalid characters But I typed not invalid characters.What's Up with My PC.......I even Ran a full system scan with various anti-virus But found Nothing...........

Here's My Pc's Specs..............

Windows 7 Ultimate RTM

Norton 360 Version 6

2GB RAM

Intel D845GVSR Motherboard with Pentium 4 Processor...............

Please Help................!!

If you are unable to reset the administrator password using traditional methods, you can try booting into Safe Mode to access the built-in Administrator account and reset the password from there.

2. Fixing Invalid Characters Issue:​

When creating a new user account, ensure that you are not using any special characters that Windows might consider invalid. Stick to alphanumeric characters without any symbols or spaces to avoid this error message.

3. Resolving Password Change Issue:​

If you are experiencing difficulties changing your password, you can use the Command Prompt to change the password. Here's how:
  • Press Win + R, type cmd, and press Enter.
  • In the Command Prompt window, type net user [username] [newpassword] and press Enter.

    4. Checking for System File Corruption:​

    Perform a System File Check (SFC) to scan and repair corrupted system files that may be causing these issues. Here's how:
  • Open Command Prompt as an administrator.
  • Type sfc /scannow and press Enter. Allow the process to complete.

    5. Checking Event Viewer for Errors:​

    Review the Event Viewer for any error messages that might provide clues about the issues you are facing. Look for critical errors or warnings that could point to the root cause.

    Updated Support for Windows 7:​

    Please note that as of January 14, 2020, Microsoft has ended support for Windows 7. It's recommended to upgrade to a newer and supported operating system like Windows 10 for better security and ongoing updates. If you encounter difficulties with any of the steps or need further assistance, feel free to ask for more detailed guidance or clarification.
