Please note that you must log on with an account that has administrator permissions.

By the way, when you are presented with Advanced Boot Options screen, there are 3 variations of Windows 7 Safe Mode. They are Safe Mode, Safe Mode with Networking and Safe Mode with Command Prompt. Actually, the 3 options are available for you. I only take Safe Mode as an example. But if you choose Safe Mode with Command Prompt, you'll need to input related to command prompt to reset the password.

If you cannot log on Windows with an account that has administrator permissions, you will be not able to enter Windows safe mode. In that case, I'm afraid you'll need third party software Windows Login Recovery to help to reset your lost Windows 7 password and get back in your protected computer. Windows Login Recovery allows you to reset lost Windows password with a bootable CD/DVD or USB flash drive. It takes you take less than 5 minutes.
