As with any operating system, you can set an administrator password on Windows 7. But at the same time, rarely does anyone leave a reminder. It seems to everyone that the password is simple and will hardly be forgotten. But sometimes it happens. Or, when installing it, you may not notice the keyboard layouts or not see if the Caps Lock key is on. In this case, you will not be able to enter the system. In general, there can be quite a few situations when you need to remove the administrator password.
