Change Administrator's Password

I just replaced a hard drive in a Dell 8300 and I'm getting ready to reinstall windows 7 back in. I also need to reset the administrators password. My sister-in-law has no idea what the old password is. I'm not sure how to change the password. Help Please

Hi JamieDee73

Since you have installed a new hard drive on the system are about to install a fresh copy of windows 7, there is no need to change anything. You can simply create a new user account and choose a new password of your choice.  

Please reply if you have any further questions.

Thanks & Regards
