I set a new password for my system, yesterday.
But now I've forgot that password. I cannot log-in to windows.
Am using windows 7 ultimate 32bit.
ASUS M4A88TM LE mother board.


Will clearing RTC ram on motherboard using Jumpers erase this password?

Or

Removing battery erase password?

HELP ME OUT...

No it won't, it will just erase the bios settings, not the win7 password, follow any of the methods below:

1. Go here and follow instructions: 3 Ways to Reset Forgotten Windows Administrator Password

OR:

2. If the one on top did not work then go here:

Get help from friend if it seems too hard for you, the hardest part of the tutorial is to create the bootable disc.
If you screw up you can damage windows installation.
