In this tutorial we&#8217;ll show you how to reset lost Windows 7 password on Mac using the PCUnlocker program.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How to Reset Windows 7 Password on Mac?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 1:<\/strong> <a  style=\"text-decoration:underline;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.top-password.com\/download\/pcunlocker_ent_trial.zip\">Download<\/a> the PCUnlocker program on your current computer. The downloaded file is a zip file. Decompress it and you&#8217;ll see an ISO image file named pcunlocker.iso, which contains a WinPE boot image along with the PCUnlocker application.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 2:<\/strong> Now you have to burn the ISO image to a blank CD. In Apple Mac, just open the <strong>Disk Utility<\/strong> (navigate to <strong>Finder<\/strong> > <strong>Applications<\/strong> > <strong>Utilities<\/strong>) and click on the <strong>Burn <\/strong>button, it allows you to burn ISO file. If your current computer is Windows machine, you can use the freeware ISO2Disc to make a bootable CD (or USB drive) from the ISO image.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 3:<\/strong> The next step is to boot your Mac from the CD you&#8217;ve burned. Just shut down your Mac, then turn it back on. When you hear the Mac startup Chime, press and hold the <strong>Option\/Alt<\/strong> key. You&#8217;ll be shown all the bootable drives on your Mac, including the CD drive. Use the arrow key to choose the CD-ROM and press the Enter key.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 4:<\/strong> Your Mac will load the Windows PE OS from the CD. Once the PCUnlocker launches, you could see a list of local accounts that are found in your Windows 7 SAM registry file. Just choose your desired account and click on <strong>Reset Password<\/strong> button. The program will reset your forgotten Windows 7 user password instantly.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.top-password.com\/images\/pcunlocker.png\" width=\"450\" height=\"400\" class=\"alignnone\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 5:<\/strong> Click on <strong>Restart<\/strong> button and remove the CD. Now you can boot your Mac into Windows 7 successfully without being asking for a password!
