I got handed a old HP laptop running Windows 7 Pro from a business owner that doesn't know the password of the current user and since the employee is not with the company anymore we cannot contact them for their password.
The business owner needs to look through the laptop before it's sold, trashed or recycle that no company values are getting lost so what is the best way to do a password reset without losing any important credentials?
I am not sure if activating the hidden admin account is just the way to do or a third party tool? I have a couple of tools I used in the past where I didn't need to worry about any credentials getting lost in the process.
