Will Paypal $ for PC help
 

... Only if your solution works. Long Story Short, I sent my notebook in to be fixed and the jackass that owned the shop basically stole it and it took me getting the police involved to have it returned to me as he closed up shop. THE ASSHOLE CHANGED MY WINDOWS XP PASSWORD and there is no way to get directly in touch with him.

He also failed to return the restore disks, and I'd rather not wait on order/delivery to be able to use it. If you can tell me how to break into my own computer, please let me know, I'll pay pal you a pre-negotiated amount if it works and pay any phone charges if it's a process I need to be walked through.

Thanks :thumbsup

While you are restarting your amchine press the F8 key to get the "Boot Mode" menu. Choose "Safe Mode". Once you get to the Log in screen log in as administrator with no password. This will allow you to reset forgotten local admin/users passwords.

That dosent always work

^ what they said

Yep. works every time.

:thumbsup this works good

Format C:
Install new copy of Win.

its 99% safe but there are other methods true

WOW, thanks for all of the speedy responses. I'm going to give them a try and shoot a few bucks to which ever method works.

Thinkx, hit me up on icq, I owe you something for the help. I was ready to throw the computer through the window. I was able to access it using F8. Now I feel like an idiot because it was that easy. lol

Nudies of yourself will be payment enough.

What's the point of having a password anyway, if it takes no skill at all to get into the system?

you need physical access to hit f8 and reset the passwords, same with unix, you just boot up into single user mode.
