when i updated windows 7 with service pack 1 it set a password on my one button recovery what is the default password

It would be same as your built in administrator password. Sandeep Lad

The one button recovery is created by OEM. For example, the Acer one button recovery password is not the same as Windows passwords. Refer to: http://support.acer.com/acerpanam/desktop/0000/Acer/Veriton7600G/Veriton7600Gfaq8.shtml What's the brand of your computer? I think it depends on different OEM. I recommend you contact the OEM for this password. Regards, Miya Note: Since the website is not hosted by Microsoft, the link may change without notice.
