forgot the password when you first install the Windows 7

So what if you forgot the password when you first install the Windows 7 ?

No worries, you can still retrieve the password by going to

Control Panel > Network and Internet > HomeGroup

On the bottom of the section, you will see “View or print the homegroup password” also if the default generated password aren’t easy to remember you can also change the password to your own.

If you wish you change the password just click “Change the password …”

You will be asked and prompt to change the password

Click “Change the password”

Here you can either type your own password or re-generate a system generated password.

Lastly, remember in order to make HomeGroup to work you need at least two or more computers that are connected in the same network. Once you got the password, type the password in another computer and you will see a listed users that are currently in your HomeGroup. Depending on the settings you set to share which folder you can now easily access files between others.

Enjoy.
