Sounds like you were on the right track already.


Lost Windows password:


  • Login as Administrator. Try with no password (load safe mode if you don't see Administrator). Press F8 during boot to access Safe Mode.
  • Login as other user (if other user is available) and manage users. Must be an administrator.
  • Reformat computer.
  • Use 3rd party software to remove password. Like http://www.top-password.com/reset-windows-password.html

Need to bypass primary master HDD user password

There is a freeware called Killcmos. You can find it using google. But this is no guarantee and could possibly damage your bios.
