Hi All, Okay, my daughter has just received her old school laptop from

two years ago from an old friend, where she left it, unfortunately she cannot use it

as she has forgotten her password and no, she did not write it down as I have been telling

her to do for sooo long now, so, can anyone tell or guide me on how to be able to gain access

 into the laptop and then permanently  delete all of the school nonsense that is no longer

required ? Thanks

Brand? Model? Operating system?

Lenovo, Thinkpad, Windows 10

Do you want to save any data? Or are you happy to start from scratch (just Windows)?

Yeah, I was having the same thought, wipe the hard drive clean and re-install windows

You could try a linux live USB stick and one of the rescue progs.

 

Try googling with this "reset windows 10 password with live linux stick"

All good, she managed to find her password 

It's good to know that she did listen to you after all🤗

Yes, that is absolutely correct, that is a bigger win than actually finding it 😁
