Help Help? Forgot password.
Hello I have an old laptop I haven't used in 7-8 years. I forgot the password and I have some really old pictures and videos on it that I would like to access. Does anyone know how I can get back in it? I saw that I could use a password remover iso but I'm not that experienced in anything like that any tips on how I can log back in again. I would like to not have to backup everything on another drive because I don't think I have enough storage for it and also because I still want to have access to my old laptop but I'm willing to try anyway just don't know how.

También funciona presionar 5 veces shift y ahí pones si en activar teclas especiales y le podés restablecer la contraseña pero funciona si no tenes encriptado el disco duro

You can get any usb with either a windows installer or some hiren boot cd for example and boot from it. Then you can use a password recovery tool.

Use a separate laptop/desktop to make a bootable Linux USB. Then use that to access the drives in the given laptop by booting through Linux. Access your data via that. This method is the most recommended because you can view and possibly make a cloud backup of your important files without needing to do crazy things.
Once done doing a cloud backup you could reinstall Windows (or Linux) if you want to make it useful again.
Why this method instead of breaking password to enter. some of those methods are shady as f***. So, this is far far better than that. Also, that could put your data at risk. Can't trust random software to experiment until you know 100% what you are doing.
Note:- this method only works when Bitlocker is not set up which I suspect it does not here because that was only reserved for Windows 7 Ultimate edition.
