Use Free Windows Password Recovery/Reset Tool
Based on the description above, the best choice is to use a free Windows password recovery tool or Windows password reset tool. A Windows password recovery app helps you get back the forgotten Dell laptop password while the reset tool allows you to reset the lost password to blank or a new one.

1. Ophcrack
Ophcrack is one of the most popular Windows password crackers. More important, it’s free of charge.  Ophcrack cracks Windows passwords by using LM hashes through rainbow tables. It includes the ability to import the hashes from a variety of formats, including dumping directly from the SAM files of Windows.

How it works:  Go to the official website and download the ISO image file. Next all you need to do is download and burn the Ophcrack Live CD and boot the computer you want to recover password for from the Live CD. After this, it will bring you to a desktop environment and start attempting to crack passwords. You’ll see the passwords pop up in the top pane of the window, though, when it finds them. You can then reboot and log in to Windows using those passwords.

2. Offline NT Password & Registry Editor
Unlike Opchcrack, Offline NT Password & Registry Editor erases your Windows password instead of recovering it on Windows 7, Windows Vista, and Windows XP passwords (and some older Windows versions). Besides, it’s also a registry editor.

How it works:  To get started, visit the Offline NT Password & Registry Editor website and download the file described as the “Bootable CD image”. Once downloaded, extract the ISO file from the ZIP file and burn the ISO image to a CD. And then boot from the CD by rebooting with the disc still in the drive. Offline NT Password & Registry Editor will start automatically. Next, just follow the instructions given on screen by Offline NT Password & Registry Editor. When the program finally deletes your password, remove the CD from the drive. Restart your computer and log in as you normally do. No password will be required.

Alternative: Windows Password Breaker
If the apps listed above don’t work or you are not god at computer, it’s better to try Windows Password Breaker, which is an extremely easy yet efficient Windows password reset tool.  You are able to safely reset your dell laptop password in no more than 5 minutes. No any computer skills required. However it is released as shareware.

How it works: 3 editions are available. Please choose the one that suits you best.
1. Download and install Windows Password Breaker in any computer.
2. Burn a bootable Windows password reset disk with CD/DVD or USB drive.
3. Boot the target computer from the burned disk.
4. Reset forgotten password by following the Windows Password Breaker instructions.

Windows XP is still the world’s dominant operating system, with a 46.52 percent share of the desktop operating system market at the end of 2011, down from just over 50 percent in September, and 57.51 percent in February 2011, according to the latest Net Applications data.

But the two-year-old Windows 7 is creeping up on its decade-old brother Windows XP in market share. As of January 1st, Windows 7 jumped to 36.99 percent share, up from 24 percent at the start of the year.

Microsoft is happy to see XP go, or keep going away. To persuade users to upgrade to Windows 7, Microsoft will stop support for Windows XP on April 8, 2014. And anything before Service Pack 3 is already out of support. Besides, Microsoft’s own Internet Explorer 9 only runs on Windows 7 or Vista. Other software, like some of the latest video editors, is starting to have similar requirements.

Will the left Windows XP users update to Windows 7? Or will they switch to Windows 8 directly by skipping over Windows 7? The next generation of Windows operating system is said to launch in 2012. A public beta of Windows 8 is scheduled for February.

The Net Applications data also shows that Vista was mostly criticized by consumers, dropped to 8.44 percent, down from over 11 percent at the beginning of the year. Other operating systems, including Mac OS X and Linux, remained distant followers totaling just 8 percent share.

One of the most noticeable improvements in Windows 8 is that there’re kinds of password protection: conventional text password, picture password, and PIN logon. For the picture password, it requires a user to draw or gesture on a touchscreen, using features on a picture as reference points.

In a post from Microsoft’s building Windows 8 blog, there’s more detail on how it works. First off, the picture that the user chooses is broken up into a system of grids. Then, as you place gestures on the picture, the system records the (X1,Y1,) co ordinates of the starting point and then records the (X,Y) co ordinates for each point in the pattern that you draw as well as the ending co ordinates for lines. For circles it will record the radius and the direction of the circle.

In Windows 8 blog, Microsoft also outlines the security of picture password. Given the kinds of simple passwords many users rely upon, the picture password could well be more secure for numerous people. But Microsoft acknowledges that smudges on the screen or recording devices could theoretically allow the gesture password to be compromised, but says the risk is very low.

However, not everyone agrees. Kenneth Weiss, who runs Universal Secure Registry, is considered the father of 2-factor authentication by virtue of his invention of the RSA SecurID token. The security expert says the new Windows 8 picture password feature is “cute” but that he does’t think it’s “serious security.””It’s more like a Fisher-Price toy than a serious choice for secure computer access,” says Weiss. Then, what’s your opinion?

Being a common PC user, are you accustomed to using shortcuts to make your job more convenient. In Windows 7 Microsoft has also added new hotkeys to give individuals better control over their operating system. As a Windows 7 user, do you know these keyboard shortcuts? If not, have a look at the 7 most useful keyboard shortcuts in Windows 7.

1. Ctrl+Shift+Esc: Open Task Manager
Pressing Ctrl+Shift+Esc in Windows 7 works the same as what Ctrl+Alt+Del does in Windows XP. It will open the Task Manager. It’s very handy when your system freezes and you need to kill one or more Apps. It is definitely a better choice than holding down the power button and doing a hard reboot without a proper shutdown.

2. Win+Space : Quickly Show Desktop
Pressing the Win key and the space bar simultaneously makes every active window transparent so you can view the desktop underneath. It performs the same function as moving your mouse to the bottom right of the Taskbar. This is helpful if you need to access the desktop after opening several Windows.

3. Ctrl+Shift+N: Create a New Folder
When it comes to create a new folder in Windows 7, all it takes is a tap of Ctrl-Shift-N. This works in any open Explorer window, but also on the desktop. After the new folder appears, just type in a name as usual and hit Enter. It is very convenient. Just forget the old way of creating new folders.

4. Ctrl+Shift+Click: Open a Program as Administrator
Sometimes you are required to run some applications as administrator. To do this job, you need to right click on it and click on “Run as Administrator” so that you can make the required changes to the app. Forget it! In Windows 7, you can do it with a keyboard shortcut. You just need to point your mouse cursor on that program and then click on it while pressing Ctrl+Shift keys to open it as administrator.

5. Win+1, 2, 3, 4, etc.: Launch Taskbar
In Windows 7, using the Windows key along with the numbers 1-9 will let you interact with the applications pinned to the taskbar in those positions. It is helpful to keep your most used programs at the beginning of your taskbar, so that you can open them one after the other.
