Resetting password on Windows 7 tablet?
We have ViewSonic viewpad that is Windows 7 based with Android emulation as well.
There is a Windows password on it (when you first come up to the Windows screen). We normally override this with the Offline Password Tool (http://home.eunet.no/pnordahl/ntpasswd/).
Will this work for a tablet--this tablet? Is there an easier way to do this?

Yes if you can log into the admin account and it is a local account.
As long as the user didn't enable EFS (Encrypted Fle System) the Offline Password Tool will work. Make sure you have a clean file system by shuttng down the computer properly. If it is turned off now power it up and shut it down properly. You do not have to login to do this. If not it can cause corruption in the SAM registry file.
