Lost Windows Password - Can't reboot
Hi,I bought this laptop about 3 years ago. I set up a BIOS Password and a Windows Login password.One day, I shut down my computer and when I opened it, there was a little rectangular pop-up asking for my password. (BIOS) Even if I push F2, It asks for a password.I loaded and burned a program from www.download.com (I dont remember which) and I succesfully bypass the BIOS password by putting the CD in the laptop and while typing really fast my (password...which I dont know) lol. And windows loaded. Now I am stuck on Windows Login screen. I don't know my password because it's been 2 years since I typed it. I tried finding it for 5 hours now. Is there a way to Bypass this password WITHOUT rebooting (I don't think I can bypass the BIOS password so easily again) and I do not have a recovery disk.Thank you for helping me.

all right! you say you lost windows password ?you know? when we install our system."administrator "account is autogenerate,and the default password is blank, So if you have forget Your user account password then try this: Start system and when you See Windows Welcome screen / Login screen, press ctrl+alt+del keys Twice and it?ll show Classic Login box. Now type ?Administrator? (without quotes) in Username and leave Password field blank. Now press Enter and you should be able to log in Windows. Now you can reset your account password from ?Control Panel -> User Accounts?. Same thing can be done using Safe Mode. In Safe Mode Windows will show this in-built Administrator account in Login screen. but if the administator password has been changed,then the only way for you to bypass your system is using a windows password recovery utility Source(s): http://lost-password.net/products/windowspasswordrecoery.html
