How to Reset Windows 7 Password in 3 Minutes

That certainly looks a lot more straight forward than the one I`ve used in the past, no GUI in mine, all done in DOS, but i`ll stick with what I know.
I like what it says part way down that page -
"Tip: Not having a Windows 7 password is a big security concern, so we recommend you configure a new password right away."
yet they are providing a tool to by-pass the password.
As far as I`m concerned, windows password works to stop people within your own household from being nosey, as far as making your computer secure it`s pretty much useless.
