She's adamant that it's the computers fault and the password she's trying to enter is correct....:annoyed: Besides the work-arounds on the Windows Seven Forums, has anyone else got any ideas on what I can do to try and overide/replace/remove this password? Thanks in advance. |

| 1151893 | 2010-11-10 22:07:00 | I can't help with the PW recovery, but when you get it sorted she needs to keep that information in a Permanently Available Private External Resource file and store that somewhere well away from her computer. I have a swag of logons, passwords, serial numbers etc and it works for me, but you have to remenber to update for new entries or changes. Cheers Billy 8-{) |
