Re: Iaccidentally locked my laptop and cant log on
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. XP only.
- 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
- Free software option would be Hirens Boot CD. This one is command prompt only. http://www.hirensbootcd.org/ Must follow instructions exactly.
