How can reset Windows administrator password?

I have an Acer Aspire One 753 notebook, but I don't know the password to the Windows 7 installation on it.

How do I reboot it back to default settings? It doesn't have a CD drive which would allow me to reinstall Windows.

You could load windows 7 recovery mode with an USB stick holding the contents of recovery disc. But I am not sure whether you could revert the password back...

Please read here, perhaps that'll help you. It uses a Linux distro from http://www.sysresccd.org/.

It is impossible to recreate here what the above web page shows. It is full of screenshots.

Link-only answers are a no-no due to link-rot (I didn't down-vote ;) ). Please post pertinent information in your answer, using links for reference. – techie007 Jan 9 at 5:08
