loganbadger:
I ran Tweaking Repair All Tool on my Windows 7 Dell computer and it changed my log in password to my computer access-User control- Now I can't log in to view it. That's why I am posting this through myWindows 10  laptop.

Thanks

I've passed this onto Shane as you would need your password to use the advanced boot options to use your restore points - although I'm not sure what you mean by "computer access-User control".

Boggin:
On a recap, if you have a System Repair Disk you can boot up with that which will get you the Recovery Environment without the need of a password to select System Restore, but you would need to change the boot order in the BIOS (Setup) for the machine to check the DVD drive first.

If you haven't created a System Repair Disk, these can be created on any Win 7 machine that has the same architecture as yours - 32 or 64bit, but a 32 bit cannot be used on a 64bit machine or vice versa.

Do you know anyone who has such a machine ?

I have a windows 7 Home Premium (For Refurbished PCs) disk that came with the computer I bought from Walmart.Unfortunately , my Windows 7 dvd/cd player doesn't work the door stays open (it stays open permanently and will shut only briefly).I am trying to fix it through/with a USB download as that is only thing I can do at this point is use a USB stick.Looking at some  youtube vids and found a few videos that talk about going in through "Ease of Access".

I have another computer and am  using it to write this email to you,
 it is  a laptop.It is 64 bit and  looks like I may have trouble with the download as the Windows 7 desktop is pretty old 2012 and it is 32 bit.

So we'll see!

Any advice or help will be appreciated!

Thanks

Boggin:
While I haven't seem any vids about using Ease of Access, I would think you would still need your password to log in to get there.

When you are talking about downloading, are you talking about downloading a Win 7 x32bit ISO to create a bootable USB ?

While you can do this from https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/software-download/windows7 it will only authorise the download if you have a valid retail key to enter and I would think that the disk you have would be an OEM version.

To determine if your key is Retail or OEM or even Corporate, run a Command Prompt as an administrator and enter slmgr /dli or slmgr /dlv

You'll be able to make a bootable USB from your DVD on your Win 10 machine using this method http://www.fit-pc.com/wiki/index.php/How_to_make_Windows_7_bootable_install_USB_stick
