In the old days, we can create a password-reset disk to use in case  we forgot  Windows administrator password. But can we do this on a Windows 7 computer with no floppy drive? Yes!
Windows 7 does allow you to make a password-reset disk in advance in case you ever forget your administrator password and do not have it written down. You can now use a portable USB drive instead of a floppy disk.

To get started, you need a spare USB flash drive. Once you have the drive, plug it into a USB port on the computer. Next, go to the Start menu  > Control Panel. Click “User Accounts”. (You can also get there by typing “user” in the search box on the Start menu and selecting User Accounts from the list of results.)

In the pane on the left side of the User Accounts box, click the link for “Create a password reset disk.” When the Forgotten Password Wizard appears, follow the steps to select your USB drive as the place you want to store your information and type in your current password.

Once you have completed the steps, eject the USB drive and store it in safe place. If you do need the drive later to reset your password after a failed attempt at the Windows login box, click O.K. on the “User name and password are incorrect” screen. Then plug in the drive and click the Reset Password option on the next screen to open the Password Reset Wizard.
