Why does 7 ask for a P/W when you hit F-8 while booting up?
I painted myself into a corner by using F-8 on bootup when the 'balls" are ready to form into the Windows 7 logo.
7 continually asked me for a P/W and on reboot the same thing happened over and over again. There was NO way to recover from this mistake and I had to restore a good image to make it work again.
I never had a P/W to begin with and just hitting Enter, like on XP didn't work.
A password recovery program only showed my name as a P/W and that too didn't work.
Makes me wonder why 7 stayed in that "Ask for P/W mode* after I made the mistake?
Thank you,
