Ok first a little story:
My missus has an old laptop she currently uses, however she has a newer and much better laptop that has an electrical fault causing it to reboot and freeze when you touch the lower left corner.
I've isolated the problem, thus preventing it from happening, but here comes the tricky part!
My missus haven't used this PC for 1½ years now, since it has been broken, and she changed her password for windows vista just as she met me, and now she doesn't have a clue what that password was.
She always comes up with airtight passwords, using both words and numbers, so guessing it is out of the picture.
I've tried booting it up in Safe Mode, trying to access the Admin account that way, but it has been disabled, and I don't think I can enable it before I get into Vista.
Also her Bios apparently has a password, and I can't even enter that in order to change boot order.
So my questions are simple:
- Is there any way to get around her Vista account password?
- How do I reset the bios password on a laptop?
Hope someone can help, because I can't even use the flippin' recovery CD that came with the PC cus the bloody thing won't boot from it :S
Cheers
