When the option appear Using the arrow keys, move up to Safe mode and Press Enter. When you get to the log on screen select Administrator. Once started, click start/Control Panel/ User Accounts – Select your account, then select Change Password or Remove password, if you select change, then change it to the new password, reboot and log on as normal. Edited: if the Admin is passworded as well, its still easy, just need a different approach |

| 1274767 | 2012-05-13 02:57:00 | Ha ha. There would be no point in a password then:D Yeah that little incident was a little worrying. |

| 1274768 | 2012-05-13 03:43:00 | Ha ha. There would be no point in a password then:D If you want to use RDP or network shares windows requires a password to authenticate. So I guess there ARE times when you might not want security but it is forced upon thee. Like with android, forces a secure lock (PIN etc) if I want to use VPNs since it wants to encrypt the keyvault |
