How do I get onto an old laptop with a forgotten password?
So, I have a relative who quite often gives me the old laptops of his work colleagues after he has refurbished them. When he gives me these laptops he puts a very simple password that clever older me has left the same as when hes given them to me.
Now I have a old laptop that i have recently managed to get working, it has important documents that I desperately need, but stupid me from a few years ago changed the password on it and now I can't access said important documents.
I never created a password reset disk and I put a stupid cryptic hint because I thought I was being clever, I just want to know if there is anyway I can access the computer without resetting everything and losing stuff?
It's a HP Compaq 6710b running Windows 7 Ultimate x32bit
I'm the opposite of a tech expert, please help me!
