    Hello,

    This is a Windows 7 Computer that before yesterday did not have a password.

    Now there is a password on the login screen. No password was created here. I have never seen this before, but it looks like a virus has created a password on login and I have no idea how to get around it.

    I have tried Windows Password recovery but nothing.

    Thank you.

    Try booting the computer in safe mode f8 when bios is displayed and run anti virus scans and your malware scans to clean any infection on the computer.

    hope this helps

    That does not bypass the login screen with the password request before the user account's Desktop will load... not on my Win7 Premium machine.

    FloridaMichael,
    Are you the only person who has access to the PC?

    The generic User Account highlighted in brown looks suspicious. Normally you would see an icon with a username not User Account.
