Windows 10: Recovering Windows Password on Corrupted Windows

Hello,I have a home server where I host games for friends and such. I recently needed the ethernet cable from the server, so I shut the computer down and pulled the ethernet cable out. When I booted the machine back up, It would not display a picture after the Windows logo with the loading dots. I pulled out the hard drive and put it into my personal computer and It's doing the same thing.So I know what the problem is, probably a corrupt file. I go to reset Windows, but it needs a password. How do I get my password back on a machine that won't boot into an account?

Windows 7 Can't Login (Corrupt Registry)

Windows 7 64 bit stopped accepting my password. I know I'm putting in the right one and its not do to caps lock BS or anything like that.

I tried two bootable CD's to try and recover/reset my password one recommended on Microsoft's site and another I got via a torrent which said that it couldn't read windows/system32/config saying it was possibley corrupt which I now beileve is true.

Prior to all this I tried doing a system restore but no matter what date I chose it always failed. I just did a start up fix and again tried my password which led me to another fail.

So I'm stuck here. I'm thinking about using my windows 7 CD to try and copy the backreg over the current reg but I'm not sure if that will work or if that is even possible.

Any suggestions would be great.
