The solution to this is tricky. and may cost you some money. and, if this is a file vault protected user account, you are just plain stuck. Assuming you want to save all your data read all before proceeding. Get a second Hard Drive, install an OS on it if there isn't already one. Boot to that HD, Set up as "NEW" do not transfer any info. when you get to it, create a user account that is different and obvious from the old account you are trying to reclaim. Use something like "TEMP Account". Copy your user account from the old HD to the new HD (into the Users folder) create a new user account, but use the same name as the old user folder is called. use a password you will remember and add a "hint" at the bottom. log out and log back into the user account that you just created.

The steps I should do for forgetting passwords when I use switches?

This needs to be discussed in different situations, you can check whether these situations can solve your current problem.
Scenario 1: All Default Passwords Are Changed and All Passwords Are Forgotten If you change all default passwords and forget the console port login password, all STelnet/Telnet login accounts and passwords, and BootROM/BootLoad passwords:
·For a switch that has the PNP button, you can press and hold the PNP button for more than 6 seconds to restore the switch to factory settings and restart the switch. The following figure shows the PNP button.
·If the switch does not have the PNP button, return it to the factory for repair.
Scenario 2: Default Passwords Are Forgotten For S series switches running V200R020 and later versions, no passwords are configured for default accounts, and users must configure new passwords for logging in to the switches. In this situation, scenario 2 is not involved.
However, for S series switches running versions earlier than V200R020, there is no default STelnet/Telnet login password, but there are default console port login password, default BootROM/BootLoad password, and default web login password. These default passwords may vary according to the switch version.
If you always use the default passwords and have not changed the passwords, you can obtain the default accounts and passwords according to S Series Switches Default Usernames and Passwords (for enterprise users or carrier users). The permission level of this document is C (customer support level). If you need to upgrade the permission level, see the help document on the website.
Scenario 3: The Console Port Login Password Is Forgotten Three methods are available to recover the console port login password.
·Method 1: Log in to the device using STelnet or Telnet and change the console port login password.
·Method 2: Clear the console port login password in the BootROM/BootLoad menu and change the console port login password.
Scenario 4: The STelnet/Telnet Login Password Is Forgotten ·If you forget the login password of an STelnet/Telnet account, you can use another STelnet/Telnet account with administrator rights to log in to the device and reset the password. For details, see Method 1.
·If you forget the passwords of all STelnet/Telnet accounts but can log in to the device through the console port, see Method 2.

Method 1: Use an STelnet/Telnet Account with Administrator Rights to Log In to the Device and Reset the Password

1.Log in to the switch using the STelnet/Telnet account with administrator rights.
2.Change the STelnet/Telnet login password. The following example describes how to change the STelnet/Telnet login password of VTY0 to VTY4.

Method 2: Log In to the Device Through the Console Port and Set a New STelnet/Telnet Login Password

If you forget the STelnet/Telnet login password but remember the console port login password, log in to the switch through the console port and set a new STelnet/Telnet login password.
Scenario 5: The BootROM/BootLoad Password Is Forgotten but the Console Port/STelnet/Telnet Login Is Available If you can log in to the switch through the console port, STelnet, or Telnet, log in to the switch and restore the default BootROM/BootLoad password. You can obtain the default accounts and passwords according to S Series Switches Default Usernames and Passwords (for enterprise users or carrier users). The permission level of this document is C (customer support level). If you need to upgrade the permission level, see the help document on the website.
Scenario 6: The Web Login Password Is Forgotten but the Console Port/STelnet/Telnet Login Is Available If you can log in to the switch through the console port, STelnet, or Telnet, log in to the switch and reset the web login password. In the following example, the web login user name is admin123 and the password is test@123.

I forgot my Password to the Login of my Laptop

Have your HP laptop login password forgotten? Do you have another administrator? Have you created Windows password reset disk on your HP computer when it is available? Or whether you have installation CD?

If you have administrator, just change HP login account to this administrator and access HP computer with it. At this time, no matter which account, you can easily change or remove its password on Control Panel.

If you have password reset disk, on Windows login screen after you type incorrect password, there will be a message "Reset Password" prompting you to reset forgotten Windows password with reset disk. Just follow password reset wizard to do.

If you have installation CD, it will help you to restore HP computer or repair computer. But it is still dangerous for us to use it because it will delete some important data on your computer.
In consideration of data safe on computer, Windows Password Genius provides a safe Windows password reset environment WinPE. With it and in such password recovery environment, you will don't need to worry about data lost or damaged.

This is a video showing how to use it.
