Problem: I changed the password just now and forgotten the password already after I shut down! But luckily, I created the guest account, so what should I do to restore the password for the admin without any download or disc thingy?! Plus no money involved.
Solution: No one can reset a forgotten Windows password from a Guest. Administrator is required to restore the admin password. Since you don’t want to download anything to work around your problem, the best solution to this problem is to try to remember you password on your own in my regard.
The following questions may do you favor in recovering your password:

1. What are the passwords I normally use for other things?
2. What was I obsessed with when I created the password?
3. What are some “key words” in what I are trying to get into? (For example, if you forgot the password to a document, it might be something like “homework” or “essay”.)

4. What are some of my favorite colors, animals, foods, sports?
5. What are some of my nicknames?
