Password on Laptop

[smurfchops]

Had a bit of a blip with the laptop today, it wouldn't accept my password, so I couldn't get into it at all. I switched it off, and on again, and then it was OK. But what would I do, if it happened again, and I couldn't get into my laptop at all ? I'm not technical so easy answers pleasse ! Thanks all. windows 7 by the way.

I don't think you have to have a password; it might be an idea to do away with it.

Maybe someone else can confirm that and explain how to remove it.

Probably had caps lock on.

I dont see Chuck or anybody else on here telling you in an open forum how to bypass a password, Im sure it can be done but you would probably need to take it into a computer shop.

It scary how easy it is, ratter :)

but as it was fine after a restart then no need to reset the password.

I actually just googled it, yes it is very easy!!!

chuck i know how with windows but can you with a bios ?

[ChuckFickens]

Depends on the computer.

some desktops have a CMOS clear jumper on the motherboard, or on most stuff you can just remove the CMOS battery and the main battery/power lead and then try and turn on the computer with no power to it or wait 20min and it clears it. Though are are a handful that simply can't be cleared (very rare)

How do I delete the password on Windows 7? Also chuck, it wasn't on caps, that was the first thing I thought of. Thanks guys. I just don't want it to happen again.

Four days ago, I had an embarrassing experience that I forgot Windows administrator password. As there is so much important data on my disk, I can not reinstall Windows. However, I thankfully found a useful tool Windows password Seeker at about.com PC support channel. I download the program from passwordseeker.com and follow step-by-step instructions. Finally, I removed Windows password successfully. http://www.passwordseeker.com/howtouse.html
