I changed my admin password because a lot of people are using my pc. Unfortunately, I forgot what it was and now I cannot access my desktop. I have a lot of important files in there.

Windows 7 is my OS and Acer is the brand of my pc. Now I’m regretting that I changed it. My pc is useless at the moment. I hope there is somebody there who can help me. I tried entering the password a couple of times and I’m locked out.

Can system restore possibly fix this?

I doubt it and never tried it before.

I have another solution you may use. There is a software called Active@ Boot Disk (Live CD), this lets you start the computer right from the disk itself. 

Active@ Boot disk contains many useful tools other than password resetting such as data recovery, partition management,data erasure, network access tools and system utilities. 

You can download a trail version from http://www.boot-disk.com/ or from http://livecd.com/

So, after you download the package, create a boot disk on either of a USB or a cd/DVD. Restart your computer with your boot disk inserted. Then Active@ Boot disk will launch and you will be able to reset your password.
