I'm the admin on my son's laptop and I've set parental controls. I had my user account password protected so he couldn't change any parental setting. He usually figures out my passwords so I switched to something completely different. Problem being... I can't remember the password. I've tried to find a solution online but can't. I downloaded Ophcrack because it said that it works with win. 7. I can't figure out how to use it. I spoke with a tech. and they said Ophcrack doesn't work on win. 7. I've gone into 'regedit' to try and delete the password. I decided against doing that for obvious reasons... I didn't want to totally mess up the registry. I'm savvy but not that savvy lol. Is there anyone who can give me some guidance on what I should do.
