Leebo Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 I came back last night from a 3 day holiday, to find that my Laptop Password has been changed and basically I cannot get onto it now. Does any of you "Brainy" lot know how I would be able to reset everything and get into my computer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sexton Hardcastle Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 try your defaul password? Got a disc at work that can get into the registry on the startup and you can unlcok/change passwords. But out in the "sticks" of Peebles its a bit far away. Who changed the password? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But out in the "sticks" of Peebles its a bit far away. Who changed the password? I have tried a couple of passwords, but no of them work. I don't know who changed my password. Everyone in my house say they haven't touched it, but dunno whether to believe it or not.11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doyle Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 When starting up your laptop, after you have seen the first screen, start pressing F8, which should bring it up in Safe Mode, and you can then reset your password once you are logged into there. Done! Thank you sir! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
