Way 4: Bypass Windows 7 admin password in Safe Mode?

Many posts on the web say users can remove Windows 7 admin password in safe mode. They say the hidden built-in administrator will appear on the login screen if Windows 7 starts in safe mode, and users can login to the built-in administrator to reset password for other users. In fact, that isn't always practical. It works only if the built-in administrator account is enabled (but usually it's not).

So, on the whole, it's not a good idea to bypass Windows 7 admin password in safe mode.
