How to reset windows firewall configuration to default
People asked me on how to reset windows firewall configuration to default, so here it is.
This guide was tested to work on windows xp but may also work on windows vista.
1. Open a command prompt window. (alternatively you can press window key + r then type cmd).
2. On the command prompt type “netsh firewall reset”.
C:\> netsh firewall reset
That’s all about it, you should have your firewall on default configuration.

If someone forgot Windows 7 password and cannot enter the Safe Mode, it is better to use Windows Login Recovery tool. it is a professional tool for password recovery and it can also change Windows 7 password for you.
